Not only will being unemployed affect your bank account, it will affect your love life, too -- especially if you're male. A whopping 75 percent of women say they are unlikely to date a guy who is out of a job, according to a poll from dating service It's Just Lunch.
More specifically, 33 percent of women said they would NOT go out with someone who is unemployed, even on one date, and other 42 percent said "Maybe" with the caveat, "I wouldn't want to throw a lot of time into it unless they had a game plan for getting back on track." Only 4 percent said "Of course" and 21 percent said "Yes. But I'd be curious to see how they're keeping occupied in the meantime."
Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of men were OK with dating an unemployed woman, with 19 percent having no reservations at all and 46 percent saying they would definitely date a jobless gal.
Our friends at How About We aren't overly shocked by the poll results, but think women should be more open-minded. "To women, having a job is huge, and I understand. Not because I want a guy to be rolling in benjamins and buying me stuff, but because having a job is a sign that you have your sh*t together and care about stuff and are ambitious and are working toward something, etc.," writes one female blogger.
She continues, "But! Obviously (especially today), people are between jobs all the time. I have a friend who pretty much quits his job whenever he feels like it and then travels to Iceland for two weeks and then comes back and easily finds another job. Some people can do that." Would you date someone who's unemployed?

+13Being unemployed doesn't mean you don't have money. And besides, as long as the person is trying to find work, I don't see a problem with it...
Great job that Obama and the Democratic controlled Congress have done, huh? If Romney becomes President we will pull out of this slump in time. Obama is in full campaign mode as he's been for the last 2 1/2 years, so don't expect anything positive to happen until he's gone. 4 more years of him and I'm afraid our Country as we knew it will be beyond any help for the majority of Americans.
and it was weird, it was love at first sight for me... I just knew he was the ONE
But for the unemployed people who spend hours on SodaHead answering questions ( <- joke) and not doing anything about it; they are lazy and unproductive. Would they be so lazy as to not show up for our next date, etc?
Yes, if they where doing their best to get work or further education,
No, if they weren't doing anything about it.
