frustration/curious

seems so. nearly every woman who posts ads or has a profile says how they have a job and blah blah. life together etc. and want a man with with the same.

looking up unemployment shows that yes women have a lower unemployment rate then men. still thers some unemployed. so where the heck are they? o.O

I mean its impossible that I'll ever be able to be with a employed woman even if I ever do find a higher paying job. so I am limited to unemployed ones no? but they don't seem to post ads or go on dating sites. or are they just not interested in dating. certainly being lonely and poor isn't just a man thing?

We exist. Though my unemployment is hopefully only a temporary thing. My opinion of men does not change with my employment status so I'm not quite sure what you are on about. I'll date the same people now as I will when I get a job.

Are you really talking about 'unemployed' women, or are you talking about 'unable to work' women?

People who end up using dating sites usually have problem(s) making them undatable.
Unemployement is one of things that harms the man's chances.
It doesn't affect as much the woman's chances.

I don't know what your talking about and think this may be something you have just honed in on.
Where I voulenteer there are lots of unemployed women who struggle to get a job just as much as the men.

If anything women suffer from alot of underemployment, only being able to get part-time or below min wage jobs. This is also so of young people. (I am basing this on my area of course).

As for you question yes life is unfair, when you try to find somewhere to rent there is this big issue about having to be employed and most employed people want to date employed people. They don't want free-riders I guess. If someone really loves you I doubt an employment status would really matter, but money struggles does cause a lot of friction and break-ups.

I can assure you that being lonely and poor isn't just a man thing because I help many lonely and poor women as well. Infact there are alot of single mothers out there that may think no man wants a woman with a child. You are not the only one with this type of worry. Try changing your tactics like looking elsewhere or if possible take up a vounlatry job for a couple hours a week, it will get you out the house to meet new people.

his source is dating sites :?

have you used one? if so, you'll find his statement is highly accurate

as for the op: people with careers often seek out people who have careers to suit their lifestyle. it's only natural, really. not too many women are out seeking to support their man in full.

I have used several of them and I find that statement to be a load of crap. So again: scientific source?

Dating sites are often used by people as the last resort way for dating after everything has failed due to some issues they have.: failing in meeting new people because of zero social life, or failing in attracting the opposite sex because of personality or ugly looks , or failing to find Mr/s. Perfect because they're ridiculously picky in real life ...etc

Maybe "undateable" isn't the right term, but what active dating users usually have in common is failure in finding potentials in real life.

There's no scientific source, just my personal observation.

Uhm, I do only dating. I am not ugly, do not have a horrible personality, don't have any issues socializing, have three good friends and quite some aquaintances and don't sit in my room all day, go to college. I'm just not meeting any new potential men right now, not even in my Latin dance classes or parties. I use online dating to enlarge my dating pool and so do plenty of people my age. It doesn't necessarily say anything about any personal 'issue' I have. The guy I am currently dating and met online is also very attractive, sweet, intelligent, has a job, friends, a nice family and plenty of hobbies. He is just a bit nerdy and shy sometimes... Doesn't mean he has some kind of issue/handicap. If so, everyone has. So I disagree with the online dating is for losers kind of thought. Makes no sense to me. Not my observations at all.

I've said "often used".

And I didn't call them losers.

its like 6.ish for men and 5.ish for women on the things I found.

just frustrated with the women in my area, though I feel you are in the minority on that. I don't care if they are unable to work or just unemployed. my problem is there doesn't seem to be any jobless women on dating sites. I don't know if this is cause they lie, maybe so. but they all seem to be having a percent life with everything in order. I just find it frustrating that there isn't one single woman out there who doesn't have their life together :(

I don't need or want or will let anyone support me. maybe people should stop using generalizations and get to know people before judging them. on the other hand I know some people who make good money but still mooch off of other so they can use their money to buy fun things like liquor.

I get how someone who is like a ceo would want similar. but how is it right that a lady working at mcdonalds should demand a guy who makes good money?

Try changing your tactics like looking elsewhere or if possible take up a voluntary job for a couple hours a week, it will get you out the house to meet new people.


I not saying they don't exist they do at about 1 less percent the men. but more that they aren't represented in the dating sphere. I just wondering why. is it they don't want to date till they have work? Are women less affected by loneliness then men?

its not just about employment thought its about having a great paying job. so if you work 4 min wage jobs you still won't be good enough. men don't' really seem to give a rats butt about this like women here(my area) do.

never had that problem here. renters are like " can you pay the money I want each month" me"yes" Renter" great then its yours" money is money.

problem with volunteer work is it isn't free. cost money to volunteer. unless you live in a small town where you can walk to every place. and all volunteer places are in downtown in the next city. I live on the outer edge of my city. not going spend the money I make working so I can go work for free. I have bills to pay.

I've pretty much always had a job (since finishing grad school) and have actually dated a couple of guys who were unemployed -- BUT were actively job-hunting. Plus one of my exes was laid off after we'd been dating for a few months and it was no biggie (he found a new position within maybe six or seven weeks).

However, I wouldn't date a guy who had NEVER had a proper job, wasn't actively looking for a job or was happy to coast on welfare.
