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.

No, but you’ll likely be married to them.
Won’t date, but have 1 nights stands? Sure will.
Asking women that question will not get the truthful answer, they will answer with their heads and not their feelings, the reality is different than what they say.
Women do like to have fun, they just don’t always know it until they actually meet it face to face.
” 75 Percent of Women Say They Won’t Date Unemployed Men”
Hah! They have never been to my local reservation. Lots of guys there are living off their girlfriends and mothers.
I should quit my job and go after all those one nighters!
I could do these studies.
Funny thing...when a guy who “asked me out” pulled up in my driveway with all of his belongings in the back seat, then glanced about and asked if this was my car, my house..I have to admit..I got a little nervous and claustrophobic.
True story.
I really don’t care what a person does...but they need to be doing something before they ask somebody out.

Oh, good grief. Why don’t they just move to Nevada and dispense with the charade, lol?
Sorry for the echo!!
You got no c-a-r, no a-p-t and no j-o-b.
How hard is this to figure out?
Got equality? How many men would date an unemployed woman?
I wonder how many hard working men won’t date a lazy, overweight, brain dead fat chick looking for love.
One of the things I also found that some women equate self employed with unemployed. Even when I had several contracts (engineering/commissioning support) active - a refinery, some pipeline companies, a chemical plant, and a biomedical manufacturing company, it did not matter. I did not have a “real job”. Then what was I doing with 60 hour weeks?

Date ‘em? Most guys I know marry them.
The other 25% are dating musicians.

I find the same thing with residual income . What people dont understand is you just grew into a whole new level of asset management , growth and a whole new world of knowledge .
I dont argue about it because it’s more of a teaching moment and if I’m not liked when I’m “Down” I cannot have you when I’m up . Simple ;)
Got no money
And you got no car
Then you got no woman
And there you are
