I just ran across a great quote, "Every nickel in this club looking for a dime."-Prince

I'd like to think I'm a nickel looking for another nickel, but the other nickels only want dimes, quarters or Sacajawea dollars.

I'm wondering if these nickels view me as a penny, or recognize that I'm a nickel, but realize that the exchange rate is skewed and they can get the higher currency if it's in less than mint condition.

Sorry for the extended metaphor, lol. What's been your experience?

I understand what you are saying but don't totally agree with the premise.

While there are some people who are interested in how much money you have most are not. However, money plays a different part in attraction and that is through life experiences.

All that said I have never asked a match how much she makes nor have I ever been asked how much I make.

Well it's either a great metaphor or the next Kayne West song!

I never was one to put a Bo Derek "perfect 10" label of anykind on anyone or myself. What some might consider a "penny" might be a sacajawea dollar to me.

In my expeirence people are always going to believe that can pull higher than what they really can. Too many unrealistic movies of the geeky-science nerds winning over the smokin' cheerleader in my opinion.

Gr8.. I didn't take this as being a moneything.. but I can see how it could be that as well.

My impression was that is how one rates themselves..like every 5 is looking for a perfect that 10... etc..

The coins were a metaphor for the value one places on oneself and others, nothing to do with earnings per se, although people do use earnings as a criterion.

I totally relate. eH matching is a lot like that. You are a nickel looking for another nickel, but when you meet them, you realize they are made of wood.

And then you log on and read about all these quarters looking for spare dimes, shiny and small. "They can't accept nickels, they deserve more". It's disheartening.

The pennies scream the loudest. Half the time they don't make any sense.

Don't get me started on the Sacajawea diggers. Every time they start a thread, I just shake my head.

And I'm not asking for a sterling John. All I want is another Buffalo to rub up against.

I know my value. I don't toss myself away on chance.

... I know I'm rare ... I know he's rare ... but what's a nickel to do?

Maybe it is because we all heard that nickels are really worth 6 cents from a metallurgical point of view. We know we are nickels, but we think we are worth more, even though we can't ever buy more than 5 cents.
