This is pretty much the problem with modern feminism in a nutshell, or I guess more accurately "equal" oppirtunities. They take the jobs of men and still expect men to be employed, then whine about being a single mother on their blogs. I'd say get with the times, but in some ways it's just much easier not to fight human nature.

Pretty sure talc is non toxic

Yeah if she isn't getting an education, doesn't have a job (and didn't just lose one or whatever) and is just lazing around wtf is she doing with her life?

Poll results are damned obvious and it's pretty sad that folks in here take issue with it.

There's an important distinction to be made here. Not wanting to date someone because they're doing nothing with their lives is perfectly reasonable, but if you don't want to date someone solely because they're unemployed even though they are actually trying to find a job/in college/working on something on the side, then you guys are almost as shallow as the girls you bitch about that won't date you because you aren't six feet tall or aren't making six figures or whatever the hell it may be

If someone can't find a job for like 6 months or more I would consider that a warning sign. Doesn't matter if it's a guy or girl.

I'm not including students with this. They're still working on their future. That's not really the same thing as just being unemployed. I'm talking as someone in their late 20's as well.

That's the main reason I got my first job last week. Felt bad seeing a girl lose interest in me after telling her I was unemployed.

Where at

Yeah if someone's actively looking that's one thing but I wouldn't date someone who's long-term unemployed and not in school.

I have a friend who couldn't find a job for about 8 months after graduating with a Master's (in Economics if that's relevant)

Was he only looking for jobs in his field or did he consider things like retail as well?

Conflict posted...

but I still think judging people for being unemployed when they are actively trying is always going to be shallow.

Maybe, but at some point it's also a matter of practicality. I have no interest in paying for someone's expenses, and I've got a lot of things to do and places to go that I'd want them to be able to do as well without it being on my dime.

I have a friend who couldn't find a job for about 8 months after graduating with a Master's (in Economics if that's relevant). He works a full-time job at Nielsen now. Granted, he had no prior work experience, but I still think judging people for being unemployed when they are actively trying is always going to be shallow.

He's cutting it close and yeah it's tougher to find a job right after college but that's still a very specific window of his life. If someone asked him what he did during that window he could say that he just graduated with a Master's degree and is looking for full time work. That doesn't sound that bad.

Nothing about it is shallow. One of the first things people ask about you is what you do. We spend a lot of time working. On top of that we work to afford the ability to do stuff outside of work. If someone isn't working that means there's less options for what you guys can do together unless you're willing to pay for most stuff.

There's a difference between hooking up and a committed relationship.

I assume this topic is about the latter.

Committed relationship? Who has time for that in 2017?

women date deadbeats when it gives them a sense of danger

like the man is rough and would kill a man, that is somehow sexy

or by deadbeat do you mean nerds who live in momma basement?

but as a note a non-nerd in momma basement can be sexy if he is cutthroat who would kill a man over a beer


people literally in prison get laid and married fyi
literal serial killers that is

but not a nerd in momma basement, yet tbh the nerd has more prospects in life then a literal serial killer on death row

Bad boys aren't the only types of unemployed guys that women will consider fucking for a change of pace. The guy doesn't really have to be particularly assertive or "dangerous" at all. He just has to has to be a source of something attractive/comfortable that the woman's not getting enough of elsewhere in her life. That could be a dozen different things. He can be funny, talented, or just pays attention to her emotions as a woman. She could have a noticeable lack of guys like that in her social circles and have a building urge to find them.

If a woman grew up with and really only knows "safe" men in her life, it can compel her to be curious and "adventurous" about men who are not like that, even if it could lead nowhere good. Just like men, women can get bored and they might seek change, sometimes only temporarily (a fling).

A similar situation can happen with a woman who grew up less privileged and constantly interacts with bad boys, rebels, and thugs. If those types of men bore or irritate her, the guy she starts daydreaming about is more likely to be different from those.

Some men are the same way about dating women. Spending too much time with starchy prude women can urge a man to find a party girl. Or hanging out with too many drunken party girls can push him to find a woman with more class.

The grass is always greener.

"Women only care about personality and confidence! Looks and money don't matter!"

People have only said looks don't matter. Not that money doesn't matter. In fact people will always reference money as being the equalizer for those who are unattractive.

I don't date unemployed or stupid women. nothing wrong with that.

I wouldnt date an unemployed woman either

Men as a gender are incredibly stupid.

Unemployed? Undesirable.
Not rich? Not undesirable not not desired.
Rich? Now we're talking bae ;) <B

This is reality, and that's ok.

But if we say "we don't want fat girls" or "no flat chested women" then prepare for a hell of a backlash and maybe even threats. You're suddenly a disgusting, low human being more akin to pond scum.

A little unfair isn't it? And this is because WE (me) allow that perception.

Posting just to quote this and add to the inspirational quotes topic later.

Accept the facts.

Men go out and fish, looking to get one to bite.
Women gather. They generally have many options to choose from and are looking for the one that works for them.

Honestly, I don't believe OP. Maybe women prefer the guy has a job. But what if the right guy has a shit job? Or worse, you find the right guy with potential that's in between jobs?

Woman's just gonna flat reject him, huh?

Bold applies to both genders.

It's not always the case. It's just the one that has significant correlation.

And no, it does not apply to both genders. The word 'generally' was in the sentence for a reason.

There is nothing wrong with this. A well adjusted human being who didn't just graduate is generally going to have a job. It doesn't even have to be a good one. There are so many social and financial benefits associated with having a job and even more detriments from not having one. It's one of the more valid requirements people of any gender have. I can't help but make negative assumptions about a potential partner that is unemployed, not recently graduated, not in school, not in-between jobs, and not aggressively looking. I don't want to worry about supporting them or prodding them to get off their ass. I want someone who is going somewhere in life, who has their own goals and is achieving them one by one. I'm saying all this as a guy.

But CE is full of bitter guys who think women should accept anyone who sets their sights on them or they're a hypocritical feminazi exploiting female preveledge.

Yeah it kinda does. Having a job is a basic requirement. More men should hold women to this same standard.

There are valid reasons to be in between jobs. At any rate, it's more about an all time high of unemployed men/college grads than anything else. Women can't have their cake and eat it too. There aren't enough "quality" men to go around.

I wouldn't date an unemployed chick. Don't know why they would want to date an unemployed guy.

I think we all agree there are valid reasons to be between jobs. In fact, I specifically listed that as being okay. I'm not sure what you mean by women having their cake and eating it too? Everyone has the right to expect their partner to be employed. Merely being employed doesn't make you high quality. Being unemployed also doesn't necessarily make you low quality, but it sure as hell lowers your quality and it's a major red flag. Again, it's a basic requirement. Like being single in the first place.

The problem is that there have never been that many jobs to go around. Women have taken over a significant portion of the working class, but humanity will always look at men to be the providers regardless of equal opportunity bs.

And we have to SHOWER now as well?

I don't think gender roles is a primary factor here, like everyone else has been saying. Maybe that's where the disconnect has been. I think it's pretty much a universal requirement. It's only been less so for women because women haven't been allowed or expected to work outside the home for that long. Men reserved the working world to ourselves for a long ass time, so of course we're going to be judged based on our success in that world. As women catch up to or surpass men as workers and income earners, they'll gradually be judged more harshly on that basis. It's already happening. Like I said, there's almost no chance I'd accept a legit unemployed woman as my significant other.
---

It's not just that though. I could understand holding equal standards, but human nature contradicts the societal expectations of men being providers and women being a more communal/caretaker type role. That's hard wired into genetics, I don't think people will be happier trying to hold both sexes to the same standard. Not saying I have any sort of answer, but that's really what it comes down to.
---

The biggest problem is, "unemployed" is kind of a blanket term that removes an individual's story.

These kinds of topics are always a joy to read.

I just love how jaded we're getting as a species despite all our conveniences, you know? It's natural selection at work. An invisible hand will do what it takes to prevent progression beyond a certain threshold
