It must be good to be a women,spend a few days a week at the gym take time to make yourself look cute then expect the world to owe you everything..
Oh please... I hear the menfolk complaining frequently when the older women in their lives are aging poorly and have "let themselves go" in terms of their physical shape. Most men would be very happy to know that the woman they are involved in takes a pro-active approach to keeping her good figure.
In the American dating world. A man's worth is measured by the number of digits in his bank account and what job he holds.
Living with your family is not a sign of being close with your family and being a family man. It's a sign of a loser in this culture.
Thank God i'm moving away from this country forever. And if I must come back to the US, I will live on a farm in the middle of nowhere and isolate myself from this ridiculous society.

I'm with you on this one....good luck with your move (I'll be following you in a few years time, trust me).
Many women here are the most shallow on earth....and it's sad.

In more than some cases I've heard, read and seen this to be true.

Oh yeah it's completely true. In many other countries it is not uncommon to have 3 generations in the family living in the same home and it is not looked down upon by anybody.
The USA nuclear family type of lifestyle is ridiculous. There are so many elderly people in the US who have pretty much been abandoned and neglected by their children. Because the 30 or 40 something year old sons and daughters are too "independent" to take care of their parents.
When did not dating until you found a job become a death sentence? I did not date even when I had a job because I did not care for the expense and generally found it a little boring. I had a circle of friends I would socialize with to some degree but they would like to do dinner and a movie. I also generally found after a certain age, dating meant eating out somewhere. Its probably why I spent little time with women in my late 20s and early 30s when I was doing things like dragging a 90lb canoe into a valley or dragging firewood out of the same valley in March or doing road trips to AZ etc . Most women don't like that stuff. Anything more exciting than that meant big money. I also noticed when I was dating, I didn't learn anything. Its was a distraction. I would make a priority of fixing my problems first.
Seriously, whats the big deal? If a man cannot wait to get a job to start dating, I think he is thinking he will not have a job in a very long time. This is also a particular context. This is a 44 year old man who clearly has had some issue with relationships AND lives with his parents, AND has no money, AND has no job AND has no sense of priority. That is a rather dismal Boolean algebraic expression. I certainly would not be browsing my entertainment options.
Not dating is not a death sentence. I've read nothing that says he has a problem with relationships. Being 45 and single doesn't mean he has a problem with relationships. And there are a lot of people who are starting over.
If this guy is just leeching of course he's not dating material but having to start over because the economy sucks, does not make a man un-datable. Just because one area of one's life isn't working doesn't mean EVERY area of one's life has to not work. Maybe having a love life will make easier for him to focus on getting his life together. Everyone knows that behind every successful man is a woman.
My main point is his current situation is a red flag to be cautious and pay attention; not an instant label that he isn't dating material.

But you have conveniently skipped over the FACT that this 44 year old man living at home is completely broke and unemployed to the point of having to consider changing his career... which would involve going back to school for nursing or being a counselor. And here it is September 1st and instead of putting his full efforts into being enrolled for the fall semester somewhere... he is procrastinating on his career change as he searches for female companionship via the internet.
If I were in my 40's, unemployed and forced to stay with my parents, my parents would be very angry with me if I was looking for love instead of getting my life back on track. In fact, I think that my mom would consider tossing me out of the house if she knew that I was looking for a date before finding myself a job.
And again, this 44 year old man may be lonely, but he currently doesn't have a crush on any particular woman. So what's the rush for him to go on dates he can't afford?
