So it would seem that if someone is out of work they are considered to be a waste of space and not worth dating. This dispite the fact that due to the financial meltdown thousands of good men and women are loosing their jobs every week. Way to kick someone when their down.


Maybe dating isn't a good idea for someone that is not employed.

It's rather expensive to date -- even if a person is lucky enough to find someone that splits the cost.


Not exactly, you can have a date for no money, or very little. You drive to their house for an intimate evening. Okay, you don't drive, you take the bus, someone takes you there, or you walk. A date can be done on the cheap. Bottom line is, do you want the money or the companionship? I prefer the companionship. Money comes, money goes.


What happens when you don't live somewhere that doesn't have accessible public transportation? Do you expect your date to pick you up and drive you around everywhere?

It really isn't all about money. Yes, people can go on free dates. If you are happy dating someone who is unemployed, that's great. You have that choice. Others have the choice not to date someone who is unemployed.


Everywhere? How about just the date we're going on? Is that too much to ask? Yes some of us don't have jobs, but we'll get one...soon, does that write us off as not dateable? It amazes me how shallow so many people can be, and more and more it all comes down to money, what a shame.

It isn't about being shallow. If I really connected with someone who was unemployed, would I blow him off? No. I'd get to know him and date if it were possible.

It's all about preferences. You cannot force someone to change their preferences for you. If you have to try and force them, it's just not going to work. Is that how you really want to try and start a relationship?

If not having a job went on for a long time, yes, it probably would get old having to do all the driving and paying for things. If it were a temporary thing, not a big deal of course. If that makes me shallow, that's too bad.

This is not being shallow. It's having standards.

I don't think it's a good idea for someone who is unemployed to date. They should have other priorities.

If I was married to someone that lost their job -- that is different. You are a team and work together.

Dating someone I don't know who is unemployed? No. I don't care to drive a guy around and pay for everything. A guy should not have to drive me around and pay for everything.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to date someone who can keep up with my lifestyle.

My point is that Employment status can change. someone with a job is not gaurenteed to have that job in a months time. Someone who is unemployed could be back in work in a months time. No-one would say that a single mother should not be considered dateworthy if she is unable to work due to family commitments and therefore unlikley to be able to pay her way if you take her out. People unable to work through health problems shouldn't be doomed to be alone

I get that. But, you cannot force someone to date you, no matter the reason they're choosing not to date you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone wanting to date someone who has a job. Just as there is nothing wrong with someone who is willing to date someone who is unemployed. There's no point in getting upset about it.

I wonder sometimes wheather these sites ask for your occupation for data mining reasons or just so the gold diggers can narrow the feild down quicker. How much are you influenced by the occupation of a potential match?

Well, personally I draw the line on if their a hooker.

As I would really HATE to have to leave her, her fee, everynight after we made love, if we did get married...surprised
Then,,,the break down fee's for each act that we done,,,,gessss.

And MANY women would find it a bit tough to date a pimp,,as HE would be wanting to put her to work for him ,,,soon,,shocked


laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh


I think that most folks here or anywhere,,like to THINK that their mate found,,would be productive finacially to help them both, as someone who didn't work and just wanted to live off them..
Now THATS MOST HERE,,,,as for me,,I don't really care what a lady makes, has or doesn't have,,,I can provide, if their real love, is there.....for me...:wink:

it's so that i can avoid the cattle-ranchers and taxidermists.

They may be the most honest and down to earth people you could ever meet. People tend to generalise about professions. I know, I used to sell insurance.
that wouldn't matter, lol...

complete vegetarian and all that.


he's not trying to change your diet, forcing it down your throat or making you eat it, just making a living as most likely his family has done for generationsbigsmile you could be missing out on a wonderful person..bigsmile
that's not the sort of living i could support. i'm too sensitive for that.

neither could i handle being with a hunter.

I don't get upset about it. I know myself and my qualities and weaknesses. Hows about we change the occupation bit to a straight yes/no answer would that work for you?
