No woman over 30 is going to want to shack up with a failing streamer playing vidya games. A woman over 30 wants stability in life. Even a single mother over 30 isnt going to shack up with a streamer. She wants what is best for her child. If she's :autism: maybe. Maybe someone with a mental handicap who is over 30 might. Someone who thinks they have absolutely no chance to get married who values marriage over the actual person, MAYBE then a woman over 30 would be interested in Phil.
On the other hand, a woman under 25 who hasnt had a "serious relationship" might see this guy, who throws money around with reckless abandon, has a huge house in a "gated community" she might think he's one of these uber popular streamers. She might be a sycophant fan who believes everything that Phil says and doesnt even watch detractor videos.
I'm wondering if this coincides with when he turned off comments and ratings on his youtube videos, so she wouldnt see the comments showing him to be completely fake.
So if you take someone who only sees his videos, doesnt see the begging prestreams, only sees his instagram and maybe his twitter, doesnt know how to play video games knows nothing about games,... and who didnt do their research on him (trust me when I say a woman over 30 is definitely going to verify who the dude is on all social media, as well as google them and search them on youtube) that person MIGHT see Phil as potential mate. Not saying its right, not saying that Phil is an attractive man by any means (but I'm not in his target range) but I am saying that in such a vacuum chamber, that person could see Phil positively.
All things he could probably sell to make a little extra money.
He thinks that if he goes on ebay, the trolls and detractors would find him. Its not like its not possible to get free priority mail boxes shipped to your home by the USPS, print exact postage on your printer, schedule a free pickup of the packages from the USPS, post the exact postage on ebay, use a new ebay account to sell the things to avoid the trolls. It might take him a day to take photos and do all of the ebay listings, but he COULD sell the stuff he doesnt need. Instead, he puts all of that money in the trash.
Might as well put that money in that expensive gas fireplace of his.
