So most women won't date a guy or even look at him without a job, but persay this "Act" comes into play.

"" John is jobless when he's trying to find a Girlfriend in which he can be happily involved with. One thing will probably hurt his chances; he doesn't have a job, But still looks around any ways.

He begins to conversate with women both in person and online, he gets a couple of good conversations and then the question pops up to "What do you do for a living?" well he answers "I'm currently unemployed" And the conversation dies off and quickly ends with a cliff hanger.

Well a couple months go by possibly, and John is back he see's the some of the same women he had talked to within the recent couple of months, He goes up to them and starts talking; Although, something is different he's dressed nicer and looks like he's well endowed with financial stability. The woman seems interested within him now, she doesn't care to explain herself but he knows right off the bat why she couldn't have dated him to begin with.

So they talk and "mary" asks if john would like to come back to her place for the night, Sure enough John smiles and simple says this. "If you weren't willing to talk to me let alone go with me while I was unemployed what makes you think I'd allow myself to go with you this time? sorry but I'm going to have to decline on the offer, goodnight.

Mary seems stumped as to why he hit on her before; although, now He straight up declined her offer.""



What's the Moral of the story? more or less what always happens when we try to find someone.

"Mary is jobless when she's trying to find a boyfriend in which she can be happily involved with. One thing will probably hurt her chances;she doesn't have a job. But still looks around anyways.

She begins to converse with men both in person and online, she gets a couple of good conversations and then the question pops up to "What do you do for a living?" Well, she answers, "I'm currently unemployed" And the conversation dies off and quickly ends with a cliffhanger.

Well, a couple of months go by possibly, and Mary is back, she sees some of the same men she had talked to within the recent months. She goes up to them and starts talking;Although, something is different. She's dressed nicer and looks like she's well endowed with financial stability. The men seem interested within her now yada yada yada...get the message???grin

Oh don't get me wrong, it is like that as well, but men are more accepting to take care of a woman in her darkest hours in life; However, Honestly I don't find that to be true with a successful woman seeking a Man.

She either wants to have her man more successful if not at the same level of success as her. Everyone has potiental though and my view on the subject is Women over look men more than men over look women on their so called "problems in life"

but I could be corrected and have that explained to me, but at the moment I view it like such.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt and give him time to get a job but after a while if he hasn't found one and it appears he isn't trying very hard, I'm not interested. Having a job means you are responsible.

I think this speaks to the inherit differences between men and women. Men, more often than not, define who they are as a person by what they do for a living. Ask an average guy who he is and most likely he will refer to what he does for a living..i.e. work. "I am a fireman", I am a "salesman" I am a "wumpie-dumpie maker" Whatever.

Men, at least most anyways, tend to do this. When unemployed or when having hard times it often shows in our attitude around other people. We, in effect, telegraph our lack of confidence because we have so much of our identity tied up in what we do for a living. We are providers, hunters, etc etc.

Women tend to compartmentalize these things. They see themselves as mothers, lovers, providers, etc etc but tend to separate each as having different meanings. When "looking" for potential mates, however, they are in the mode of seeking security and safety. Which, in my opinion, is why they gravitate to men who express confidence and ability to provide what they want.

Bottom-line it gets down to confidence. If a man can convey they he is a good provider despite the fact he is going through a temporary downturn, I think most women respond favorably. They have the uncanny knack for seeing men's potential and desire to believe he will regain his footing very soon.
