75% of women say they won't date unemployed men

i blame rap music. lmao (insert sarcastic icon here)
poppin bottles... your rent in my cup and your car note in my swisher

this knowledge comes with wisdom.

the key is not to think all men are like this...

i disagree with you, real romance doesn't have a price tag. on both sides of the fence there are females/males who would give an arm for someone that loves them for them versus someone with income.

 

Maybe not to you but to a LOT of females...he does.

 

of course not, BigD. But what else can you do more than to support someone? The girls said that if it is limited, it's no problem, they've also said, if he is doing something, it's no problem. We are only talking about people that don't want to do anything.
But to be called *gold-diggers* is bs...Most of us can live alone and don't need a man that pays our bills.
But it's also clear that a woman shouldn't be involved with a man that doesn't know that he has his own responsibility.

 

understood. me personally, ive been involved with women who don't work and handles their responsibility however still neglect some important life tools.

both men and women alike who arent doing things without know knowledge of responsibility that may have a big boat and know how to make the ocean wavy or know how to suck a golf ball through a water hose... the point is people basing who they date based on 'income' or 'employment' and classifying the others with similar aspects in life the same.

some times if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck but looks like a lion you cant disregard any part of whatever is walking.

 

There are a lot that will care about the money but not all
all you need is to be good with money

I dont work my husband dont make a lot and now make even less
most of the people we know think we have a lot
and some make more and always complain they dont have enough
while see us bying stuff

he is ok with money and i am damn better .. there is someone we know make a lot and his wife work part time too and she spend too much with out thinking
another lady that know us both said many time if he had me for a wife and not her will be rich now

The only is having less bring a lot of stress
my husband does not stress at all but there are time am over the roof with stress as i hadle most of how will be spend what we need for home ...food clothes .. bills .. and many more

anyways will always will be people that only care about the wallet but always will be people too that don't

 

Not really, different wants

 

If someone is thinking as you say, just stay away and be happy. The point is that a man or a woman must be able to see the value of another person. The financial status isn't that important, but what a person is able to do or to be, is. We all have good and bad times and only the ones that support you in bad times are worth to keep in your life. But, there are also a lot people that just want that someone else feeds them.
To see and to identify, who is who, is the key, I guess.

 

I wouldn't say you're unemployed, though. I'm thinking no job, no income, etc. And my issue is more about being on equal ground, as I said. If I was unemployed with no income, I'm afraid people would see me as a woman looking for someone to take care of me, and I have more going than that. My confidence wouldn't be up there, either. So, if I didn't feel good about myself, why would I want to date? For me, it's not about the money, it's about the underlying things.

 

I have financially supported two lazy ass mofos and WILL NOT do it again regardless of the haters on here hatin for that.

And try meeting women outside your current circle, because most of us aren't stuck in the 1950's nor in a reality show with the title words housewives and some county.

Give me a break. Most of us women are independent, don't live at mom's house waiting for our hero to climb up our hair and rescue us from certain boredom, and we've also purchased everything we own. Welcome to most of the country.

This broad sweeping generalizing about men and women is getting incredibly boring. Always the same subjects with the same stereotypes and absolutely no insight nor critical thinking involved in the stereotyping.

 

Absolutely.

 

That's your perception. The women on this board are a pretty good cross-section of (white) women, imo. Varied cultures, ages, professions, income levels, aspirations, etc. I don't recall even one saying they require a wealthy man. If there is one (or more) correct me. You persist in your belief that most women want an Adonis with a fat wallet. And yet many of us here have outright contradicted that. Pay attention. Learn something.

 

A lot of you are eitger lying or dont believe that kind of man is available but outside of that a shit ton of non forum women express what Iggy's talking about. Women generally want stability and security. Not sayung theres anything wrong with that just saying what it is. Let me also be clear ALL women might not care but enough that this topic comes up often.

 

The fact that some still automatically equate unemployment with laziness or incompetence is an issue all by itself

The state that the economy has been in over the last decade should be proof enough that ANYBODY is subject to being unemployed, at any time. Even the high and mighty amongst us.

 

Be fair though even amongst professional women who can take care of themselves they still wannt a provider. I know there are women who dont care about that kind of thing but enough do. Most of us dont have the privlege of meeting the doctor who doesnt care about what her man does for a living lol

 

Rep coming

It kind of lines up with Gladwell's theory of thin slicing. Minimal information makes a lot of us swear we are experts. Ive been guilty of this myself.

 

Athena is a suga momma

 

Honestly, if only people understood that one doesn't need much to survive. Many need to stop buying the latest and greatest. My mama was like like that - the lay-by queen. I took after her for a bit, but I was recently forced to downgrade my lifestyle and it was the BEST thing to ever happen to me. I learned I don't need much to live and survive. So cathartic and liberating.

 

Again, stability & security doesn't necessarily mean wealthy.

And who seems to bring the topic up the most? I don't think it's the women....

 

A wealthy man is hardly ever home. (edit)
