Would you date someone who doesn’t have a job right now?

[Anonymous]

A major majority of men would. A lot of women won’t. Women are more concerned w what he has, what does he do, how much does he make, etc, etc. Men will date a cute ass girl living in a cardboard box. We’ll date a girl working the drive-thru at McDonald’s. Women tend to want a man who makes as much as them or more because they still expect him to take care of a majority of the bills. That’s a big part of the reason why men don’t care how much women make cause she’s not going to be the bread winner by taking over a majority of the bills. She’s going to leave him more than likely to find someone who will still take care of almost everything financially.

[NathanDavis]

it depends

whether or not I would have an interest in someone would be based on so many factors and not just this one alone

but even if I considered this factor as well... I would still like to know why, don't they have a job, for example... maybe they got laid off randomly, or maybe they just got out of prison because of a crime they committed at their last place of work, so...

what is it?

[Mariogirl09]

I wouldn't date him if he doesn't have a job. Thats not what I would want for myself. If he's unable to work like he's on disability and able to provide a bit for himself yes I would

[888theGreat]

What if his job is selling drugs?

[Mariogirl09]

@888theGreat uhhhhh

[888theGreat]

That is no answer. Should I ask Alexa?

[CriminallyInsane]

It's ok if it's temporary and he is actively looking for one or is going to school and has a plan. Just never has a job? No one wants to deal with that.

[888theGreat]

What if he gets a job and loses job , gets a job?

[RavVid]

I earn well so I'd be OK with a stay at home. That would not make her a dead weight

Relationships can be expanding cakes. If she facilitated me in working more hours then her contribution would be financial, as collectively we would be earning more money than if I was on my own. You work better if you are happy and in good spirits you are more productive as well.

With the right girl I wouldn't care if she didn't have a job.

[Anonymous]

Yeah. I don't have a long term career right now (my choice). It is harder than ever to get into the workforce as a young worker, especially something actually desirable. I'm not going to date someone for their earning potential, so I would like to make sure they have the same opinion.

[Levin]

Yes, as long as she's doing something and not lazy. Ideally, in this economy, she would work part time or have something creative that pays her. If she's just sitting home all day, then not cool.

[Kaneki05]

Of course, the opposite is more of a problem honestly.
Unless they have a job they really like, it would be weird for me to want them to waste half their life doing something they don't enjoy?

[Kaneki05]

And I of course wouldn't wish to be with someone who expects me to waste half my life doing something I don't enjoy.

[Levin]

Then where do you get your money from? And why should people pay taxes to pay for you to sit on your arse? If I'm thinking of setting up a business, why should that 20% tax (or theft), that 20% of my labour, go towards people like you?

[Kaneki05]

@Levin That seems like a you problem. I never have worked nor never will.
I would say if you don't like it go vote but we all know that won't change a thing in our government.
Also as AI will start to take more jobs, only expect it to become worse.
Your problem isn't with me, it's with the government that allows this.

I'm just benefiting from what they allow as ya know a logical move which if your a business guy ya would understand, I ain't going to deprive myself of wealth by working which is what would happen since I'd then have to pay rent, tax and would barely make any difference with how high rent is, we both know that makes no sense.
I would need maybe a 40k job for it to be worth it, and we all know someone with no experience and never worked ain't going to get that, you can barely get hired for Min wage jobs as I never got a single interview despite applying to many in my 1st year of uc.

[Levin]

Alright, I'm more confused than anything. If you're on the equivalent of JSA isn't that like 90 quid a week? You can hardly live off that.

So I presume you're on something more. I presume you have to be 'incapacitated' or some shit to be getting more than that. Otherwise, brown/Muslim, which maybe you are?

Yes, we have shitty systems in place. Yes, work doesn't pay. I have been unemployed. I had no work experience. Yes, it was humiliating getting denial after denial. Yes, it was humiliating sucking JSA cock. Yes, it was hard, if not impossible to get employed. I did though.

For self-respect purposes, being employed is better than being employed. Don't get me wrong, being employed working for an awful business is shit too, just less shit. But I suppose it depends on how you spend your days. If you spend it wanking off, going on the hub, gaming, sucking JSA cock, youtubing, etc, then that is pretty tragic. That kind of life is not sustainable and will leave you with fuck all by the time you hit 30. Everything catches up to us, but to each their own.

And no, I'm no business-man but I don't advocate doing what you can, to get all you can, in any given situation. That's what the spineless cowards did during covid. And you know what? They are pieces of shit. It will come back to them in some form.

[Kaneki05]

@Levin I get like 1000 a month and my rent paid for me. High pip+Uc. And I do have issues besides laziness but even if I didn't I would still try to live the way I do right now.
Think about this the major reason to be rich is to have free time not to work? Guess what I already have?
If you have to gain self respect from working then you have none, average folk fall into that train of thought lucky for me.

Well then you'll probably suck at business, the whole point is to get all you can and make the most profit, use the system in your favor, not be kind about it. Ever wonder why most successful businesses are ran by the cold calculated?

Your points are based on emotion and belief, but lack in calculated logic. And I don't care about emotional arguments, so no point using those on me.
You believe it's unstainable yet it has been for years now, and everything indicates it will become more so with how society only becomes more socialist as time goes on.
Only 5 years until I'm 30, time will go by quick as it has been and nothing will be different the patten is obvious. It would take a truly catastrophic event to set us back which at that case we are all screwed anyway.

And no I'm not Muslim, or an immigrant, and I agree with sending them home but the fact you jumped to that with no evidence say's a lot about you.
Sending them home would be a benefit to me as it means they can allocate even more funds to citizens like myself. And that's the irony even if you vote for reform or restore that'd help me most likely.

So... I am winning no matter who's playing the game.

[HighValue]

Most men would because they care more about the person than money.

Most women wouldn't because they care far more about money than the person.

[Kelley1]

I am more interested in a guy's than his current income. Therefore, I date guys who are not currently employed. Primarily, they are college students.

[888theGreat]

With Trump's economy , he might not be able to find a decent job. Then?

[123459876]

Yes of course

[123459876]

Besides I make enough to support somebody

[MrChinaski]

I'm attracted to people that are striving to achieve things in their life. Work is one sphere in which achievement can occur. It is not the only one.

[Miristheiss]

Sure I would have. I am a guy. I never had any expectation someone else's money is owed to me.

[jazzy34]

If he’s actively applying to different places, yes.

If he’s a bum who’s mooching off of others, no.

[888theGreat]

How would you know? He might tell you he is looking for a job.

[jazzy34]

Did you not see my first answer? 🙄

[888theGreat]

so he tells you he is applying , how would you know?

[Anonymous]

Yes, as long as they were going to school or looking for a job. Or at least doing something with their life if they were independently wealthy and didn’t need a job.

[NicholasofAustralia]

Intriguing, what are deal-breakers I wonder for you 🤝🥲 aka "they work - yet have no car" or "they have a car - and somehow manage bank savings enough to run it" - but they have no job? Lol 😂 or similar vices & 50 50 catch 22s

[Opinion Owner]

@NicholasofAustralia work yet have no car is fine. No job but have enough savings is fine as long as they’re in school or they’re looking for a job or they’re rich enough to not need a job but at least they’re doing something with their life.

[NicholasofAustralia]

Lol 😆 good to know.
What if they're just working class and always will be? 😜🤭

[NicholasofAustralia]

Some like that lifestyle, but it's not for everyone 🤭

[Opinion Owner]

@NicholasofAustralia if I really loved them, or even just really liked them, I could live with that.

[NicholasofAustralia]

Groovy lady. So to wrap this up 🌯 like a wrap , mmmm , - what are you anyhow? Middle class? Upper class? Lower class? Struggling working class? Comfortable working class? I'm just - doing ok. 😁👀 It could always be worse ☺️

[NicholasofAustralia]

It could always, be worse 🤭

[Opinion Owner]

@NicholasofAustralia happy you’re doing ok 😊. Have a great day. Happy Easter.

[NicholasofAustralia]

Have a happy Easter then mysterious lady. I'll say you were middle class / upper by my brain guesswork lol 😆 cya

[Opinion Owner]

@NicholasofAustralia you’re right! See ya.

[NicholasofAustralia]

And you won't like the likes of me being working class poor 😀😂 LOL kindly cya ☺️🤞👋

[NicholasofAustralia]

Peace out peace 😁🕊️ ✌️✌️🕊️

[exitseven]

Yes, if they are just between jobs and have a career path it is okay. I have been there myself.

[Nikki1989]

I am very happily married, but if I weren't, sure, not a problem.

[Sunshinelips]

No because he’d want to spend all his time with me and that just won’t do.

[lilBigPotato]

It depends on the reason why he doesn't have a job.

[Agape93]

Sure but im not handling their financial responsibilities for them.

[mrkdvsn]

Back when I "dated", whether that girl had a job or not had no importance at all. And the same would apply if I were in the position of "dating" today.

[Anonymous]

Many are willing to date someone temporarily unemployed if they are hardworking, skilled, and actively trying to find work.

[Anonymous]

Everyone falls on hard times eventually or rotten luck 😞🤞

So sure - as long as my woman is clean, tidy and not out for money / freeloading off me 🤭

[Opinion Owner]

Yet if she had no drive - then 🫣🫣🫣🙄

[Opinion Owner]

"drive" referring to lol probably both car (I'm too poor lol so far) lol at time of writing as well as "getting off the couch" 🛋️😄

[TonyMetal___86]

Yeah i don't mind because after all she's going to become a housewife but i'm not into dating anymore...

[Tomislav7]

A women probably not unless the guy is really attractive but us men will love regardless of her situation

[Zionne]

as long as i met the person when we were a teenager

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I don't have a job right now. At least not in the traditional sense. Life is a marathon not a sprint. It's not about where we're at, it's where we're going.

[Staximus]

If she was sweeter than honey and hotter than a bucket of red rivets

[LiamJHayden]

yes. If she brings peace I do not care about that.

[ZameerAnsari91]

Obviously, I would, and I don't want her to do any job. I will fullfil her needs.

[Anonymous]

Yes if she is educated, loyal and brings peace of mind in home n my heart then sure.

[FreyaRed]

I data a guy not his job.

[DishLady]

Nope.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes. Everyone goes through rough patches.

[Alex-Snow]

It would be a challenge

[Xawyx-2]

If she is my type of girl - yes I would.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes but she has to be looking for one.

[Jeff51]

Yes but she would need 1 soon

[Sammy098]

Yes, nothing wrong with it

[Jmmmfi4]

Yes

I don't have a job right now

[Slim57]

Maybe
