If someone is UNEMPLOYED, should they be on a Dating Site looking for love?

And again, in this society, it's supposed to be accepted because it's a woman saying it and not a man. But if a man was unemployed and found out his date was a employment advisor and asked the same thing, you would be considered a loser

 

Haha..I find that very true. Every once in awhile if im out with this particular female friend she'll probably ask me if I have any leads to job openings, mind you we're both in the same field. and usually I wind up saying 'nope' which is true.

 

On an opposite example, in my circle of friends. A friend of mine has always been unemployed and still is and when he talks about having no job...this female friend of mine flames him almost, ill admit she kind of frowns down upon him.

 

Being in college != unemployed. Most people don't consider students "unemployed". You're going to university for that sole purpose - to help you get a good job.

 

I'm in college myself, and in my case when looking for someone my age - whether online or REAL LIFE - my requirement is they must be in college, and that too at a four year university.

 

Why? I need someone I can respect educationally and intellectually too. And you know when I'm married and old someday, I don't want a wife who sits at home all day, or is stuck doing some blue collar or unprofessional labor. So I suppose in a year when I graduate, my standards will be even higher than unemployed... they need to be a working professional, ambitious, and smart as hell.

 

I find that hard to believe. I went to college in nyc, and half the students in my classes (including me) had some kind of day job, a night job, or some weekend job. Most of them had classes during the night and some during the day, but almost all of them had their reasons such as paying bills, rent, or tuition.
