While losing your job may be a devastating blow to your career aspirations, it may be an even bigger blow to your personal life, according to new research conducted by a dating service. A significant majority of women said they would not date a man who was unemployed. Just one-third of men said they would date an unemployed woman.
Overall, 75 percent of women said they would be unlikely to date an unemployed man, with 33 percent saying no outright. Another 42 percent of women answered maybe when asked about the possibility of dating an unemployed man. That answer, however, came with the stipulation that those women would not want to spend a lot of time in the relationship if the man did not have a plan in place. Just 21 percent of women said they would date an unemployed man.
Women, however, insist their feelings are not solely based on money. Rather, respondents said they were interested in dating someone who is engaged in an activity. Respondents felt that work was a beneficial activity for men to participate in.
"Not having a job will definitely make it harder for men to date someone they don't already know," said Irene LaCota, spokesperson for It's Just Lunch, a dating service for professionals that conducted the research.

Hey ... You can twist this around all you want and impress yourself with your superior knowledge about the subject and even me .
Like when you said I dont deserve a woman . Yeah, the inadequate school system is why women react to you as you described.
When was the last time a public school taught financial independence and self reliance ? I looked at your tagline and I expected more from you but as it goes talk is cheap because oxygen is free .
As to women dont make me laugh boss . You have no idea what my team does or how I lead or what the attraction was in the 1st place . The topic may be about a survey of some stat but it’s really about both genders and some sectors of our American culture .
I think I can see the problem.
Yeah .. You strike me as someone who carries a mirror in there pocket . I alway’s leverage my time VS how it is invested and I see a net loss on my priceless asset so you take your last shot while I go walk my dog .
Post 30 was praising what you do for a living, it shouldn’t have set you off as it did.
I’m not surprised that females don’t react well to you, although you seem to have a wonderful way of making a living and a wonderful income.
I never praise myself . I tried to expand the income subject to residuals and how people of all genders have a mindset of having a job when generating wealth and creating it is more viable .
I’m not surprised that females don’t react well to you,
Please stop presuming . That shit dont fly with me . Good night .I’m through with you .
Some women will date an Unemployed guy for up to 99 weeks.
As soon as the Unemployment Checks run out, so will she.
Your post 19 seemed to be an expression of finding common ground with the issue of females and not getting a positive reaction from them.
Constant anger and lashing out can account for that, your income source shouldn’t, in my estimation you have a fine, respectable source of income that should impress women.
Are you really that pig shit stupid ?
See post 42.
>> Are you really that pig [expletive deleted] stupid ?
Weren’t you about to go walk your dog or something?
>> [Female] respondents felt that work was a beneficial activity for men to participate in.
Hey! That’s a *conservative* idea.
And yet the pollsters tell us women slightly prefer Obama.
Go figure.
You have something about the thread topic you want to toss in ?
Already did.
Classic, classic scene!
As evidenced by the Section 8 housing I work secondary in. Some of the guys work, but most are layabouts who crash in the apartments that the real working class are paying for. Then there are those are the aspiring rappers and part time unlicensed pharmaceutical salesmen.
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time
We'll go honky-tonkin’
And we're gonna have a time
We'll make all the night spots
Dance to the music, fine
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time
Well, there ain't no use to tarry
So let's start out tonight
We'll spread joy, boy, oh boy
And we'll spread it right
We'll have more fun, baby
All the way down the line
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time
We'll make all the night spots
Dance to the music, fine
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time
If you got the money, honey
I've got The Time
We'll go honky-tonkin’
And we're gonna have a time
Bring along your Cadillac
Leave my old wreck behind
If you got the money, honey
I've got the time
Well, we'll go honky-tonkin’
Make every club in town
We'll go to the park where it's dark
We won't fool around
But if you run short of money, honey
I'll run short of time
‘Cause you with no more money, honey
I've no more time
I know what you mean FRiend, but those women aren't worth more than one night anyway. You have to find a woman more in touch with logic and less with instincts. I know, you're probably laughing now...
It's an instinctual turn-on for women to see a man “doing something”, especially physical labor. Physical performance has been an essential trait for men throughout 90%+ of human history. Sports, physical work, and combat are how women found the “top dog”. That is why they are so attracted to soldiers, athletes and roughnecks. In the past, a stronger man could have easily killed you and taken your woman.
If she doesn't see him work and/or understand what his work is, she is less likely to feel this type of attraction. This is why women are often more attracted to a blue-collar guy than a low level office worker. Some say it is only because the blue-collar guys are in better shape, but that is only part of the reason.
IMO, this is still a small part of attraction and I wouldnt worry about it. The CEO or owner earning 10-20x more has a far greater advantage. Not only because of nice stuff and shiny things. Leadership, wealth and security are even more important than physical strength. In the past, a leader could be somewhat weak but have many strong men under his command and have friends/family that respect him enough to care for his woman/children should he fall. Leadership and wealth are as instinctual to women as 6-pack abs.
You have to find a woman more in touch with logic and less with instincts.
Good observations . When you put together a team of substance you end up with an A team leveraged in focus , ability and drive . Aint looking for anything else and I could care less .
Work smart and play hard .
