i figured it to mean people looking to chat up people who were out of their league.  Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

A "Dime" is 1/10 of an American Dollar. Thus, a "Dime" is a woman that rates a 10. | |

a dime is someone who is hot...a nickle is someone who just is average...so he is saying that all the average people are looking for all the beautifull people... | |

I take it to mean he doesn't think very highly of himself so he's looking for a magazine-type good-looker to hook up with to boost his self-esteem. "It's better with a man." | |

It's slang for a woman that's a perfect 10, in other words...ME!  I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

A woman who makes you stop on a dime to look. Like sort of 'stopping short" with George Costanza's mother, to look at a girl so pretty walking by. | |

A dime - a "perfect looking" person, a "10." In U.S. dollars, a dime is ten cents, or 1/10 of a dollar, hence the slang.
In the context of the song, "Every nickel looking for a dime," it means a bunch of goobers are looking for pretty ladies. Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ |

It's probably a male chauvenist attitude about women that are quarters because they've had children.  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
