Unemployed Men Struggle In Dating Game

Schwartz said unemployed men need to keep a positive attitude and show potential mates that they are stable: "`I don't have a job but I'm doing everything I can to find one. I own my own house.'"

Being too cheap can be a turnoff for women like Virginia Wall, 40, who works in retail sales in Philadelphia. She doesn't believe in coffee or drinks as a first date and expects the man to pay.

If he can't afford to take her to lunch _ nothing fancy, just a casual place to sit and get to know each other over a sandwich _ then he probably shouldn't be dating, she said.

"He shouldn't bring someone in his life if he can barely take care of himself," she said.

Notice how women are never held to these standards?

Men are always held to higher standards in any social setting.

Men are always held to higher standards in any social setting.

And then women say men are inferior... "women mature faster" etc blah blah blah.

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

interesting..

 

[Busybody]

and a woman said she would like a nice meal

I said

If a woman is hot for you she don't care if you have a dime.

If you do a search on the web for how other countries view American women, it's very poor. Most will say American women are independent and demanding.

What they don't realize is American women have acclimated to adapt to the new American man: very effeminate, doesn't mind being a door mat, doesn't open doors for women, can't afford to take her to dinner, expects her to give birth then run out to work to help him pay the bills because he didnt study hard enough in school and is too weak to be a provider, doesn't mind his children being raised in day care centers because he would rather she work, 75% will be cheating on her while she's working, he will one day say he is missing out on something in life and abandon his children with her, she will have to chase him down for enough child support to hopefully at least be able to feed the child, he will start another family, probably eventually divorce that one too. Then sit around and be jaded and cynical the rest of his life and wonder why he wasn't given more? His mother always told him he was so entitled.

Sigh.

This is extreme, yes? No. All too common for COUNTLESS single moms. Message to the men? Shut up and quit being such a little bitch crying about wanting more. Take your woman out, treat her to dinner, make her feel like a princess, and she will always make you her king. End of story.

I think that it just matters on the person. Just like most arguements about men vs. women.

You really shouldn't assume that this is the norm just because it's how your life turned out. Must suck to be you.

My life ABSOLUTELY did NOT turn out this way. However your false condolences are noted.

This experience does reflect more than 70% of American women in a country with a higher than 80% rate of divorce.

 

[Tryharder62]

25% of women think that men are obsolete. They would rather use thier hitachi.

So it's the American man's fault American women are demanding gold digging cunts.

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHA jesus cock sucking christ in a bucked of jizz

that's awesome.

Take your woman out, treat her to dinner, make her feel like a princess, and she will always make you her king. End of story.

Take your man out, buy him a lap dance, give the stripper a titty twister....

He won't treat you like no fuckin' princess ...........but he will fuck you like a dirty slut.

There are worse ways to live.

Just to be that girl, women are not held to needing a job because men don't demand them to have a job. Some men do and for the women who want a job they are perfect.

To put it in terms you understand, women want a man with a job to date and perhaps marry because we know that the WIFE will be the one doing the dishes, taking care of the children, making sure they have breakfast and get to school, get to their ballet, soccer, little league, karate, so forth practice after school. All of this while giving the husband dinner, making sure the house is clean, and doing all of the laundry.

If you want to step up and do all of that, please god marry me.

There is a method to the insanity trust me. It all makes perfectly good sense if you simply pause to think about it. Most women do in fact want to do all of what I said. All the man has to do is hand over a large enough paycheck and give us a fucking orgasm once in a while. Who got the hard job?

Do you have any proof for either of those percentages?

So far I've succeeded in influencing my grandsons to take no prisoners when it comes to females. By that I mean for them to be scholars and athletes and ambitious and stout enough to make other men think twice about taking them on. Do all of that and the gals will sort themselves out to be their mates.

Every relationship is give and take. Maybe women just get it, like most other things.

 

[Antoninus]

Speaking only to my experiences, many women have a special insight, an intuition into men and especially the men they fancy. I've come to respect that judgement, and in some sense allow them to choose me, whether for friendship or romance. This frees me to focus on bettering myself, becoming a richer, more engaging and life-living man.

I got the best of both worlds....military income which ain't ballin' but it's a nice considering all I got to do is not be dead and I get to be hubby homemaker. There are FAR worse ways to live than as a home maker/urchin rearing dad with E6 pay.

She also never worries about yard work, home/auto maintenance, upgrades or repairs....I can sew and knit too

Wifey goes and brings home a paycheck....nice ass paycheck.

 

[BrownIslandGurl]

Im a woman, (im 21 some say girl) Anyways I dont think like that. Yeah its nice if a guy can pay for your meal......But being sweet in the dating game doesnt require a lot of money. Instead of taking her out somewhere and forking out for the drinks that are way too expensive. Why not cook for her could be anything the thought is always what counts. Food for thought just my 5 cents

That may be true for some women, but many others tend to pick a man who will abuse them and dump them. And I don't mean just once; I mean repeatedly.

After reading the article three times.. I still can't find where it claims that 75% of women view relationships as transactions

could some one please quote it in the article

plus the article ends with a story of a woman who convinced a guy to try dating her despite his having no job, she then flew out to meet him and did so regularly..and in fact is trying to help him build a business

or as she said ..in the article LT linked

"The relationship isn't based on how much money he makes," she said. "It's who he is and what's in his heart that matters to me."

 

[badbabysitter]

my feelings on the subject are simple

if a guy cant commit to a job, how can he commit to me?

that being said, my guy is currently unemployed and has been for nearly 6 months now.. and we're getting married in October, and i couldnt be more happy
