I'm going to agree with Corri's advice but also pick a small bone with her. It's true that manifesting self-confidence and sense of purpose are turn-ons for women but telling a guy in a SSM to work on that stuff is kind of like telling a women in a SSM to work on her waist-to-hip ratio. If the guy can go out to the Schnarchian bar and get well laid without "begging and pleading" then he already is manifesting enough self-confidence and sense of purpose to pay the street POP. Just because a guy stood in a bread line during the depression doesn't mean he has no marketable skills.
