Maybe a girlfriend with good qualities can add a little "boost" in his engine and put direction in his life. No, I'm not taking about any girl, but a girl who has some drive in her life. No drugs or other junk to bring him down. Maybe whatever drive she has will eventually be picked up by him. He probably will clean up his act, get the cats out, and maybe see the outside world more often.
Woman/girls can be catalysts for change in a guy's life. Well...sometimes it does not. It probably depends on what kind of girl she is! [:)]
I once lost all my excess weight(it was a significant amount)in only three weeks because I found a nice gal when I was younger. Worked out hard so I could take her to the beach and look like a "stud" around her. [:D]
Just my .02 doggie snacks worth!
