What I noticed from attending my 25 year high school reunion is that women will will more often than not date a certain type of guy, and settle down with a completely different type of guy. They'll happily date the bad boy or Jock type in their 20's, but ultimately settle down and have kids with whoever is the best provider. Most of the hottest girls who I went to high school with didn't marry the bad boys or the jocks, they married the average white-collar nerd who was the best provider. I guess what I'm saying is that there is hope for this kid, assuming he gets his shit together and does something with his life and has a good career.
