While I'm female, and least she is unemployed and trying to pursue what she wants (entertainment). That being said to me at a certain age it just gets harder and harder to get discovered....
The rest of what you said would easily be a no. It reminds me of this episode of Law and Order SVU. The victim was this woman in her 20s who went from job to job only in fields where she knew wealthy men wold be there.
I was dating this 30 year old aspiring actress/performer of shows and musicals with dreams to make it to broadway. But she basically just has one part time job at a museum that could lead to a lower paying full time job, and works at whole foods part time with the occasional low budget show performance. I see no real career in her future and what makes it worse is she is a self-proclaimed feminist who wants a guy to take care of her and won't date another actor/performer because they don't make enough. Which kind of goes against feminism. What are you guys thoughts on dating a girl like this? Would you do it long term?

The work situation isn't the issue, to me. It's reality for performers and artists that they'll have side jobs to support the realities of creative work. That's normal for those who choose this path. Full-time work rarely provides the flexibility to accommodate audition and rehearsal schedules, so cobbling income together with PT work is pretty standard. It's understandably not for everybody, but it's reality for people motivated to pursue careers in performance.
The issue would be more that her expectation is that an SO functions primarily as an income supplementer, which is why she is shuns the idea of dating others in her same circle of experience.
It's the attitude and expectations that are problematic, moreso than the choice of work.
Yep, exactly. As a performer, the fact that she works part time jobs in order to be flexible enough to audition, rehearse, etc. for the benefit of her career isn't what's problematic. That she wants to be a kept woman is the problem.

Is it just a phase, or has she been in the same low-paying job for 10 years with the same aspirations and doing absolutely nothing to actually move closer to her goals?

Sounds delusional. Since you are with her, I suspect you think she is attractive. Maybe the problem is that she also thinks she is attractive and can coast on her looks.
I think it really depends on what YOU want/need. If you are OK with taking care (financially) of someone for the rest of her life, then no problem. For me, problem.

I wouldn't date someone I blatantly didn't like and/or respect. I'm not sure why you are.
