75% of women only want men for their money.

[LJ_Reloaded]

Hard statistical fact.

Anyone want to provide counter statistics or is this going to turn into another one of those "LJ is a poopyhead" chickenshit wuss-outs where I already won this fight at the OP and you people never had a chance from the get-go?

As if losing your job doesn't suck enough, a recent survey conducted by online dating site It's Just Lunch found that 75 percent of women wouldn't even go on a date with an unemployed man. Well, 42 percent of women would consider it. But 33 percent said there was no chance, while the other 25 percent said they would go on a date with a jobless guy.

"Not having a job will definitely make it harder for men to date someone they don't already know," says Irene LaCota of It's Just Lunch. "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."

I know this sounds a bit superficial — like we need a man to have a job so they can shower us with gifts and take us on dates. But I think whether he can hold down a job tells us more about a man than his net worth. It is a sign that he's responsible, ambitious and has goals in life. In today's economy, it's not unusual for people to be out of work or between jobs, but even a man working a non-ideal part-time job while looking for and applying for work in his field is sexier than one who is content with living off mommy and daddy's hard-earned cash.

Men, on the other hand, are much more accepting of unemployed women. Nearly two-thirds of men said they would have no problem going on a date with a woman who doesn't have a job, while only 8 percent said they would absolutely rule it out.

True. Lots of gold diggers out here.

I make my own Money. Do not need any man's income. I didn't request child support for my daughter either. I must be a 25%ER

 

[Disgustipated]

And the other 25% don't want LeDumbass at all.

 

[Paul_Chance]

The article says "job" not "money". They are related, but not the same.

I'd suspect it has a lot more to do with the things a job tells you about another person, with money being just one of them. (i.e. responsibility, ambition, personality, relatability).

Yeah, but LT doesn't understand those concepts, so he focused on the part that only required rudimentary math skills.

 

[Ulaven_Demorte]

Yet another LeJackass patented fail.

The article you cited does not say that 75% women only want men for their money. It says that they won't date an unemployed man, big difference. It's mostly about whether he can hold down a job in that it tells more about a man than his net worth. It is a sign that he's responsible, ambitious and has goals in life.

Think about that.

Saying it's about "responsibility, ambition, personality, relatability" is a crappy excuse when men don't require any of this from women.

It is about money. The "responsibility, ambition, personality, relatability" is a smoke screen. If his job paid peanuts she'd still not want him.

75% of women out there do not love a man, cannot love a man. They love what he has to offer them.

Are you dating anyone now that you make your own money? Congratulations on being a 25%er.

So basically women won't date a loser. Welcome to reality everybody.

 

[lovecraft68]

Yet another article that doesn't quite say what LJ wants it to say

I know, the nerve of those ballsy bitches to want a guy who has a job, doesn't live with mom, has a sense of responsibility and would make a good partner. Nervy I tell you.

 

[Yunie]

I can't speak for other women but I don't like to date guys who prove their either not on the same maturity level as me or have no desire to better themself in more ways than financially. I have given a ton of guys chances without cars, without a job, without anything going for them.

That doesn't matter to me. But I refuse to be with someone who acts like they are looking for someone who will give them pussy and money. Like I fucking care what you do for a living or how much you make.

I can make my own money without having a guy holding that over my head like, "Well... I gave you all that money. You should do what I say. Blah blah." No, thanks.

Proof? My fiancée has been is in college, works part time as an intern, and picked a terrible major. Whatever. He isn't a bum and we can fuck and play video games. That is all.

I didn't read the article, but he is kinda right. You ask any woman is a guy that's not attractive attractive, she is going to say no. You tell her she is worth millions, and bet she finds him attractive then. Most women are concerned about what I man can do for them, and not because she's likes them.

Think about. How many men celebrities have women that doesn't even know them, but they're in love with them. He can fuck them on a drop of a hat. They drop they panties at him, try to get invited back stage, and a whole lot of other shit. Now look at women celebrities, how many men groupies are there? Compare men groupies to women groupies, who win? Most women just want a man for his bread and his power.

Depends on if it is really good bread like a Panerai bagel (mmm) and if he is very powerful if you know what I mean *Cough.*

I get that it's true and many women ARE gold diggers. Just saying I don't know if 75% is accurate considering all the women around me married to guys who can barely put bread on the table.

I mean my best friend married a guy who will need dialysis for life and is sick most days. Guess what? She is the breadwinner. But she loves the guy.

 

[sr71plt]

75 percent of women are three-quarters of the female population. (It's the truth; look it up)

I married a Dupont, so there's not much else I can say about this thread.

Right?
What if the guy was independently wealthy, didn't have to have a job, had a whole bunch of "Fuck You" money. I bet he wouldn't be a very loyal partner.

 

[SmileyAsswipe]

Your figures are low by 25%.

 

[GimpyIntellect]

Women.

Ugh.

Amirite, guys?

Sucks to be you. Three quarters of the women on Earth won't even look at you, and the fourth won't give you a second look.

Have you considered getting a job?

 

[Sean Renaud]

In fairness that's an entirely different situation. That guy doesn't have a job because he doesn't need one and chooses not to work. I have to assume that when the question was posed to these women they didn't think old money who doesn't need a job they thought guy whose living with his parents.

Let's be honest. Lots of women date losers.

But they still won't date LT.

Yea but 75% draw the line at jobless fuckin' bum......

 

[DirtyAllie]

I don't like the idea of looking at the material things, money, job, social standing does not necessarily make a man(or woman) in fact from a female POV let me tell you that some of the biggest jerks I and some of my friends have met have been "good catches" the good job, the nice car, the financial stability and....the asshattery that goes along with being an over grown frat boy.

So money does not equate a good person.

But...a little thing like a job and independence is important. I don't care what a man does for a living as long as he is going out there every day and putting in a days work and trying. I don't care where a guy lives as long as it is not with his parents(I am talking past college age and not situations like maybe recently divorced and trying to get back on his feet)

I have no issue with a man who does not have a great job, I don't look for money. But what I do look for is a man...one that will be my husband, my partner, my equal inj a relationship...I will not be anyone's mother. I will not support someone fully. If I make more money I couldn't care less, but they need to be making something. I'm not after anyone's money, but I'm not going to have a "kept man" earn your keep in life and that's good enough for me.
