When you get to be my age (mid-40s), you start to think about more practical matters like where to live, making car payments, health insurance, and so on. I'm not interested in hoopla-hooping in the park.
But if you feel like dating this 44-year-old broke man who is living at his parent's house, I'll certainly be happy to DM you his phone number. I'm sure he'd be grateful, and quite hopeful as well. He probably hasn't had sex in a while.

Oh gosh Woofie, if I wasn't married I'd jump on that. Kidding.
I am pretty sure that majority of women who are so passionately debating and defending this man would not go for him themselves for exactly those specific reasons.
I'm curious, why wouldn't date if you were broke and unemployed, is it okay to ask what reasoning would be?
Well, I've done it before. It is very stressful. I don't know if it is more of a male thing, but it is very hard on your self-confidence to be broke or unemployed. I doubt I'd be much fun, I doubt I'd have as much fun.
Plus I'd probably have to lower my standards. This may come as a shock ... ... but I've observed that women tend to like money.

I just got off the phone with one guy I met online. He is 44 and told me that the economy has hit him terribly, so he just moved back in with his parents. Now he is thinking of going back to school to get a degree in nursing or counseling. He asked me if I wanted to meet for coffee. I told him, "I don't really feel a connection but I wish you luck."
I mean, seriously. What woman is going to want to date a man after hearing that hard luck story?
I feel bad for him, but why would I want to date a man his age who is living at home?
Can't fault you here. Like it or not your ability to earn a living defines you in some ways in society. Thats why losing a job is such a gut punch for men. How many times have you heard women discuss their dates and mention their occupation if they are something like a doctor/lawyer/executive. Not saying its right, just an observation.
Then again at 44 you should have had a bit of a nest egg to survive for 6 months in case a rainy day comes.
Should an Unemployed woman expect a man to take her out? Maybe in this uncertain economy guys should be looking at women who have substantial income also? or is there a double standard?

Is this serious?
Of course the standards are different for men and women.

Double Standards even though most will say it isn't I certainly don't hear much from others that women ask men out much.
And this when feminism assured equality - I certainly don't see or hear about this being practiced.

Hay, you do what you haft to do, more power to you and you shouldn't feel feel bad about it. My only take is that if I were in that guys shoes my first priority would be finding a job or starting a business NOT trying to see some girl but I do know that all guys are different and some guys need female companionship more then others.
Anyhow, I still find it amusing that at the same time a female can live at home with her parents (and still have relations with men,hang out/party) for indefinite period and nobody will think any ill thoughts about her, you know,that she is lazy or something.
Regardless, I'm not going to loose any sleep over the double standard because I find that women who take advantage of this loophole turn out to be weaker then women who can take care of themselves; and with that being said, I would never marry/date a weak woman.
