Unemployed Men Undesirable To Women, "It's Just Lunch" Survey Finds

It's not unusual for people looking for a relationship to keep a mental checklist of qualities they absolutely require in a a partner. But a recent survey by the dating service "It's Just Lunch" found that there's one box in particular that straight women want checked: they want the men they date to have jobs.

Of the 925 single women surveyed, 75 percent said they'd have a problem with dating someone without a job. Only 4 percent of respondents asked whether they would go out with an unemployed man answered "of course."

"Not having a job will definitely make it harder for men to date someone they don't already know," Irene LaCota, a spokesperson for It's Just Lunch, said in a press release. "This is the rare area, compared to other topics we've done surveys on, where women's old-fashioned beliefs about sex roles seem to apply."

Or is it?

The women interviewed for the press release didn't mention anything about conforming to traditional gender roles when asked to explain the results. Instead, they said they were concerned that they might end up having to support an unemployed man. They also said they didn't want their own activities to be limited by someone else's job status and potential financial limitations.
 
If a guy can't commit to a job,,,, the odds are fucking slim he can commit to a relationship
 
Women complain about the gender gap in income. Nevertheless, nearly all women prefer successful men. This is not something most men care about in women. This gives men a motive in trying to be successful that women do not have.

What about all the guys out there who look for work but can't find one?

What about a woman who can't commit to a job? <--- LOL you don't DARE ANSWER THAT ONE hahahahhah!!!

The truth. And no one dared respond to you about that.

neverendingme will have something to say about it. She, who has never worked a day in her life, will say that women are not attracted to men who work in bookstores and libraries.
 
The true reason behind women preferring a man with a job is ambition.

Most guys without a job, car etc, prefer to sit on a couch, and eat tv dinners. (yes,women too) No one with even the smallest bit of ambition wants to be relegated to that sort of life style.

There is a difference between an out of work professional, and a man who just doesnt work. The article is biased, and too general. As it doesnt mention that most men who find themselves unemployed unexpectefly refuse to date in the first place. Leaving just the men who refuse to work in the dating pool. Its not rocket science then that women insist on a man with a job. Growing marijuana doesnt count...

But why do women who don't have a job, expect to be forgiven?

And she doesn't even have the self-awareness to realize how hypocritical this is.

Or what a preposterous buffoon she is.

Once I expressed what I did in this thread in a letter to the editor. It provoked three angry responses from women who almost certainly would not date an unemployed man.

A woman in my office who liked to brag about how successful her boyfriend was stopped talking to me when my letter ran. Later, when her boyfriend lost his job she made a joke about how her yuppy boyfriend became a bag lady. That was the last she had anything to say about him.
 
Men are no better. Women prefer successful men. Men prefer young women. When many man become successful they dump their wives and marry trophy brides who are much younger.

Women can never, ever take account for this moral discrepancy. She thinks it's her birthright to be with a man of means, while she herself doesn't have to be a woman of means.

That part is true. Although all women were young, and not all men are successful.

I wouldnt know, I havent been unemployed for more then 2 months since I was 15

and besides, your study doesnt answer that.... so essentially you're telling me to not answer the question you dont have an answer for


kudos to you
 
Unlike badbabysitter, women on the AntiMisandry forum actually have reading comprehension skills and can actually address the issue directly:

I have no problem supporting an unemployed man. I'd love with all my heart. I just hope they don't mind living in an apartment and eating in most of the time. lol

You see, badbabysitter, this woman has something you don't... character, and a sense of fairness. She's an EQUALIST, unlike you. And unlike you she's not too scared to go swim in the anti-misandry shark tank.

Unlike LT , I realize not all women on the internet are women...especially on a site that doesnt have nice things to say about women

Unlike LT... I don't go to sites where feminism is blamed for all the problems of the world

Unlike LT, I don't feel the need to post thread after thread about my gender politics..I'm not on Lit to make a profound political statement

also LT still hasn't exactly shown how this is fighting for " men's rights" ..seeing as they've lost so many
 
Men are no better. Women prefer successful men. Men prefer young women.

I don't know if I "prefer" younger women, but since I've been divorced that's all I seem to meet in social situations...women in their 30s and 40s.

Hmmmm, going by your twisted logic it's unlikely that you are a woman, either. Your whole response goes down in flames on that alone.

You're lucky you're not having to put up with 'em in their 20s. Trouvere is right about a lot of men. Not all but a lot.

so you're calling my logic twisted because I said that men often claim to be women on the internet..and you're refuting that......................by calling me a dude

i guess the homeschooling you give your kids doesn't cover irony

Holy shit. Your school teachers didn't cover reading comprehension, obviously. You have no proof that you are a female. Thereby, going by your logic, one must realize that you are not necessarily female. All we're going by is your hearsay - which is worth nothing.

100% perfect analysis, zero error. You just shot yourself in the head. AGAIN.
