My best school friend is in love with a man who is refusing all the jobs the firms are offering to him. I think he is a lazy and a good for nothing fellow.

What's wrong with a man being maintained by a woman if she is agreeable to it? Whatever trips your trigger.

I would think the same about him as I would a woman who insists on being maintained by a man.....avoid at all costs

There is a couple living here with two small children. She is an educator; makes well above average for that job. He stays at home with the toddlers as a full-time home maker. (She pays him a good salary, btw...) It works for them, and each has found their personal "niche", as they like the roles they are in and so succeed. I'm all for it, if that is what the family decides on and wants. Why not?

But that is a different situation.
He does have a job. He is childminding and homemaking.
That is different to just being a leech and living off somebody.

Yes, you are right. I have known people who live off others while waiting for "the right job". Tons of excuses, usually along the lines of "I'll screw up my portfolio if I settle for mediocre jobs". I really don't know if that has merit; it may, in some instances. If I were an employer, I would look at someone more favorably if they had accepted work of any kind, instead of sitting around waiting. Sometimes we have to take a job we don't at all want. I have had to more than once, and it IS difficult, but far more constructive than not taking a job at all.

He is good for something. Like for real, the mental illness, see he has to know better to do better. These guys, how can I put this, well they really have issues. I am sure they would really get it together with the right help. They have to want it on their own. The behavior you speak of, gets old. So old I say do not deal with it. A man who lives off a woman. PLEASE. No thx. PEACE HH
Totally not even funny. So many woman have so much maturing to do. It is no joke. Men who would live off a woman are not smarter. For real, especially if she is honest, totally down, for example is a single mother, or a woman of substantial means. That woman get taken or believes lie after lie. No the woman is not less smart. She is human with a heart. Very maybe innocent, kind, vulnerable. So many cons out there. To joke that it is funny. So wrong. Please respect woman. We are so hard working and have so much love to share. Totally not funny. Like for real, check your self.
Ken_19: LoL, you left out the choice of,
He is much smarter than the woman who allows this.
48jojo: Speaks for itself and also for the women who lets him get away with it.
What does it say about the woman? She is kind, beautiful, wealthy, she just took a while to realize. I get your point. I am not sure what it says about the woman. Hmmm ??? Many woman give people chances. Then realize, the man was lying.

I think if he can have babies he should get equal pay for equal work.
I think that 'What I think' has a much bearing on the situation as what you think.
In short it's absolutely none of my business, just as it's absolutely none of yours either.
He may be many things, and it's not really your place to judge him (or anyone else eh?)
Keep thinking tis way and very soon you'll be mouring the loss of your best school friend ... and OF COURSE if that happens YOU will be BLAMING HIM for that loss!

I think that said chap who doesnt work will probably have lovely smooth hands,his nails wont be chipped,broken and worn away by the rigours of manual toil and that said chap enjoys living on easy street. But being serious i wouldnt be overly concerned. If this guy and youre friend are happy and she doesnt mind supporting him then i dont see the problem. There could be many reasons for theyre situation. If it becomes apparent that youre friend is making a mistake with this guy then she will learn from it,,or they may live happily ever after ...Maybe.

And (in case of divorce)since he squeezed his legs for her even though he didn't have to he should be granted minimum 50%of all holdings and she should have to pay a permanent maintenance fee. Something like $400.00 as a detterent.(its not a fine.

In all fairness, given that we don't know his specific circumstances, I can't give an opinion.

I would think the same of him as I would of any woman who living of a guy because she is to lazy too work.
There are so many women who don't want to work and expect to be looked after by the man, so why not the opposite?! If the woman is fine with that, it is her personal choice...

Is she supporting him? If not, then it's his business.
If he is living off of her while he is waiting for someone to offer him a job as CEO of a multinational company, then she will grow tired of the little prince soon enough. Don't try to talk her out of him. You'll lose her as a friend. Let her figure it out herself.
