I am also low income. I don't consider myself ugly. In fact, some tell me I am handsome. Yet, the women won't date me or even go to a movie with me. I drive a five year old Pontiac.
My friends have all moved away or married. I am alone.

ok. Try this on for size. If you want to prove it is your religion pushing all these ladies away, go on another date, but dont talk about God or being a Catholic. Dont bring up church or the bible. Try not to talk about views on gay/lesbians or abortion.
See if she still pushes you away.
It could also be because you aren't confident in yourself and the women sense this, which is a big turn-off on any date. But dont be overly-confident otherwise you will look egotistical.
Test my theory out and see what happens.

Check at your church, or at other local churches for a Catholic Singles group. That will get that religion speed bump you seem to see out of the way.
I drive a 9 year old Chevy by the way. But I love my car, it's got personality.
Make the most of what you have, and enjoy the rest.

I don't think you being Catholic has anything to do with your situation.
Chances are, it might have more to do with your low income. Seriously, any woman who is rejecting you on account of your "low income" is not a woman I would want to date. She is too materialistic.
I make mid-range income, and my wife is fine with it. Granted, in this day and age, it may take some time to find a woman that thinks this way - but it's well worth the effort and the time to look.
With regard to your friends, it's the unfortunate reality. As they get married, they "disappear" as their home/family life takes precedence. I was the second-to-last one in my circle of friends to marry, and I'm glad to this day I was not the last.
Here's what I would suggest...The fact you mentioned being Catholic suggests, to me anyway, that your Faith is important to you. You might want to consider joining or taking a more active role in social events that your Church has. You will meet all sorts of new people; all of them nice, few of which will be hung up on materialism.

girls don't wnat money, or anything other than two things. those things are brains and romance.
perhaps you are uninteresting.
spice things up!
wear something colorfull! wear some AXE body spray!
don't ASK a girl you like to the movies.
send her some flowers saying, "meet me at (you fill in the blank)"
it's not because you're catholic.
for a christian girl, it may be a turn-off. try going to a mass to meet some catholic girls.
do you have a low income job because you didn't go to college?
try getting a good career.
my mother took classes and got her Real Estate Licsence!
try something like that!
that would also give you a chance to meet more women!
good luck!

maybe you put too much emphasis on your status as a catholic. Just be casual and let things happen without pressing the issue. Is it better to be alone or be with someone whose not a catholic? What is more important to you?

Your material objects don't matter when it comes to women. I don't think there are a lot of women out there that just absolutely hate catholic men. I think you may be overexaggerating. perhaps you should reflect on your personality rather than your religion- don't hide behind your religion. That is low.

Dude, most single females tend to be a bit liberal in their religious and political thoughts. I'm roman catholic too btw. And you know that there are alot of stereotypes about our church being a bit on the conservative side. Also some girls associate the term catholic with "goody-goody" and god forbid one of my generation's prissy, preppy, "look at me I'm not a virgin anymore now I'm cool" girls associates themselves with a catholic.
Its just something we gotta suck up and deal with, I'm afraid. But I havent noticed it to the extent that you seem to have. Sure its not your imagination? I'm sure there are plenty girls out there who really dont care.
Good luck, bro

Oh don't worry about it. I'm sure there are lots of girls who date catholics, just perhaps don't come across so strong at the beginning, and date fellow catholics.

maybe its the way you present yourself when you meet somebody new, instead of looking at what you don't have how about the things that are great about you?
there are women out there who don't care about money as long as you have a job and are trying
