75 Percent Of Women Would Not Date an Unemployed Man

[ximmy]

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.”

"Perhaps traditional gender roles are not quite as dead as many people believe that they are.
And as I mentioned earlier, the declining economy is hitting men even harder than it is hitting women. Yes, millions upon millions of women are deeply suffering in this economy. There is no doubt about that. But men are actually having an even more difficult time than women are."

[Hitch]

You can't really blame women for answering that way. I don't think any gal wants a guy who sits around doing nothing, unless it's in the ghetto, where nice rims on the car and a little bling is enough to become a baby's daddy.

The real question, is what percentage of women would date a guy who makes less money than them. Would a hotshot lawyer gal date a carpenter, for example?

[StreetsOfGold]

A woman knows instinctively that the man was created to provide FOR the woman. Not the other way around

Seems "date" needs to be defined too. Is a date jumping in the sack with a big dicked construction worker (like book thinks)? Or is date something more long term?

I haven't been in the employ of anyone for about 35 years, so I suppose that makes me persistently unemployed.

In my experience most women date assholes. They know it and their friends know it. Very few women I've come across appreciate old school chivalry, like opening a door for them or not cussing in front of them. All the bullshit us men are taught growing up like "women want a nice guy, a smart guy, a guy who can make them laugh, someone who can take care of them emotionally and financially" don't seem to come into play these days. I am all of the things that I just mentioned (except the asshole part) and I'm a little overweight. I'm not a fatass but also ain't no Brad Pitt. Nothing matters to women but the physical appearance. If you don't fit into their physical mold they will pass right over you and go for the asshole because "he looks good in pair of jeans". Thanks MTV, thanks...

No chivalry doesn't play into anymore. But don't change for what's popular and what works with most women. To hell with MTV. And Sex in the City, and all the feminist bullshit the media pushes.

I figure it ends up doing us a favor in the end. It weeds out the gals we don't want anyway. I'll treat a gal like a gentleman should, when she's with me, she's safe. If that ain't good enough, so be it, but there's gals out there, the good ones, that's what I'm interested in.

The state stepped in to tax all men...to provide for the women that may be in need. We are all fathers to the state, and all women who seek assistance are our wives and children, not by choice.

The responsibility still falls on the shoulders of men to provide. It's just regulated now. Any man in the homeless shelter obviously isn't doing his part to for the collective. :rolleyes:

Most women look for security, for them selfs and their kids.

But I have seen women throw all of that away (crazy/nuts) for less than nothing.

Chemistry and instant desire (heat/instant) has a hand in the game of women and sex.

With some women or most?

It also seems like many women focus on a mans potential, the level of his ambitions and his perceived ability to accomplish those tasks. Or, at an older age it's how much has he accomplished (made lotsa $) and how well they can benefit from it.

Physical appearance is not always superficial. I think most guys, 9 out of 10 have good looking faces. But Physical appearance goes beyond this. I like a big guy with meat on his bones, someone who I think could protect me, someone who can fix things, carry things, stand his ground with other men.

but I've met a couple of guys who were small but carried themselves well, their personal presentation (voice, conversation, confidence) shine over their smaller stature. I'd take that.

and Yes, For me, most of this is true... --->

That's cool, but to me it's a 50/50, two way street deal too. Lets face it, it's about perceived value in said commodity and since we all put different values on different things the worth is in the eyes of the beholders.Money might mean everything to most but to some it's not the highest priority on the list.

[Neuro]

The desire for women to find a good provider goes back to biology, during especially childbearing and rearing years a woman is naturally less able to collect plenty of food, her ability to attract and bond with a male who can provide for her and children could have literally meant the difference between life and death for her and offspring. The women who didn't pick a good provider, on average had less surviving daughters and thus that trait to choose lesser providers diminished. I think especially during ice ages, when living was much harder, it became a defining biological trait among women, and more the closer to the ice...

[singular_me]

I think good relationships are very seldom... physical appearances or not.

just wait for the end of the honeymoon, which can last between 6 months and 5 years...

"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."

Nothing rare about it. Women are "liberated" from the old rules, and having had none to replace them put into place, they are reverting to their programming: catch semen from the highest social status male to whom they have access, coupled with pure hedonism. A heady mixture which most cannot handle.

Lesbianism: sexual fluidity is a fact of life for women
Tuesday 26 November 2013 14.04 EST

Women are having far more lesbian experiences than 20 years ago, according to a sex survey. One writer isn't surprised

Cara Delevingne (left) with Rita Ora: the model refers to her friend as 'wifey'. Photograph: Dave M Benett/Getty Images for DKNY
My technique when interviewing celebrities about their lives used to involve questions beginning with: "As a lesbian, I ..." That would always get women – from Sharon Stone ("butches are my favourite") to Missy Elliott ("never say never") to Holly Hunter ("I think gay women have it best") – jumping up and down in their seats, declaring how they wished, wished, wished they were lesbians. Now that I identify as a Kinsey 4, my approach is slightly more tortuous (the question is more likely to begin: "As a lesbian who's now shagging a gay guy …") but it's increasingly rare that you'll meet a cool straight girl who'll admit to being completely straight.

I was on a panel in Soho last week co-sponsored by Women in Journalism and the lesbian magazine Diva to debate "Lesbophobia in the Media". I came in for a bit of bisexual bashing from Clare Balding's girlfriend, Alice Arnold ("betrayal" was the word), and from Eleanor Margolis, the 24-year-old who writes a column about being a lesbian in the New Statesman. "I don't believe in all this fluidity thing," she said, which, to be fair, was exactly the sort of thing I used to say at her age. The fact is, even if you don't believe in the concept of sexual fluidity, it is, like gravity, simply a fact of life.

The findings of the latest National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal) seem to suggest this too. The number of women reporting same-sex partners has increased from 1.8% to 7.9% over the past 20 years. At the end of the lesbophobia debate, I asked the audience of around 100 women – many of whom had come with the Diva crowd – to put their hands up to indicate how they defined themselves sexually. About a third didn't raise their hands at all. Of the rest, the majority were lesbian, a large smattering were bisexual and about five hands wavered nervously in the air, owning up to the very square fact of being straight. In this sense, this media crowd had a lot in common with chicks in the contemporary swinging scene. I've been checking out this world recently and have found that while the male half of the swinging couple's profile will identify as straight, it's pretty much par for the course that a woman will indicate "bi-curious" or "bisexual". Sure, a lot of this is about women trying to please their men – it plays to a common male fantasy of a threesome involving two women and a man – but actually, in my experience, the bisexual ones really are up for it. I think there are a ton of "straight" women out there who, once they've ticked all the safety boxes (get married, get financially secure, have babies), are ready to "play", using swinger terminology. And that is the thing about this new sexually fluid world (for women). Its politics are much less right-on compared with the old-school lesbian separatist thing. The women who claim to be bisexuals in the Natsal survery are not the type to go marching on the streets about it.

While some big actors and singers have admitted to bisexuality, there is a lot of fudging from other young *heroines of popular culture (what is all this "wifey" business, as Cara *Delevingne refers to her friend Rita Ora? Go on, Cara, you're a rock'n'roll chick, spell it out), which makes you wonder how on earth the unfamouses are going to be proud about their *not-totally-100% hetero status.

London's biggest lesbian club impresario of the moment, Nicola Chubb, 39, who runs the high-end lesbian club night Mint, says she has noticed a sea change of so-called "fluidity" going on in her clubs. Straight girls who, a couple of years ago, might have preferred the company of gay men and would have suffered the "fag hag" tag are now choosing to hang out with lesbians. "They've worked out that lesbians know how to have a good time too." She says that this realisation will often lead to other things which, for Lisa Luxx, lesbian "preditor in chief" of new counter-culture magazine Prowlhouse.com, often leads to tears after bedtime. "If you are a lesbian, you will likely get emotionally attached on some level to the "straight" girl, whereas she won't be at the same place."

More importantly, Luxx adds, and I have to agree with her on this one, straight girls are often really boring in bed. Passively, frankly. "A lot of them are scared when it comes down to it."

Still, she says, she has noticed a rise in the number of straight girls coming on to her in the past year. "It seems like the wild thing to do because it's more talked about." She thinks it's partly about "women allowing one another to be sexual beings rather than seeing other women as a threat". In some ways, this is one of the unexpected boons to have come out of feminism.

Karley "Slutever" Sciortino, the new showpony of 'flexi-sexuality', is an American 26-year-old who started out as a blogger living in Peckham with little to amuse her apart from going out and looking for sex. Inevitably, she went from straight to bisexual and now she is (only kind of) joking that she's a lesbian. She recently created the phrase "strategic lesbianism", meaning that when she really craves a satisfying sexual encounter, she'll go home with another woman because women are "naturally skilled" at pleasing one another. Sounds like bisexuality in a shiny new wrapper to me.

Certainly, the rise in the number of women-only clubs, gyms and networking organisations points to a feel for more all-girls-together stuff that lezzas have been doing for years. I personally prefer the old word for "networking": cruising – but maybe this will come about in this new oestrogen-only renaissance. Otherwise, it's rather like going to a Japanese tea ceremony and leaving before you've tried the tea.

I've been reading this thread now for two days, and I need to ring in with my one observation that has been conditioned by a lifetime of 'reading bullshit on the MSM'.

I don't trust any polls or surveys that are published on the MSM, and most other places for that matter. You could read about a poll that says 75% of women don't care if a man is employed or not and believe that, just as easily as this one. I always ask myself what does this person want me to believe, and why?

The MSM publishes this poll of 925 women to get men to believe that if they are unemployed, their manhood is gone. Why? To keep everybody addicted to this system and the money it pays its slaves.
