Alot of women say that when they were younger, they liked the fun or "bad guys" who were sociable, fun, good looking, tall but not necessarily focused on their career. They may have all the great qualities but still work at McDonald's or another dead end job.
At what age did you begin to lose your attraction to those guys?
I was never interested in those guys. Even as a teen, I had no problem if you worked at McD's but I cared a lot about what your future plans were, and what you were doing to get there.
I was married from age 25-35. After that, I looked a little more at what you had actually accomplished, rather than future plans & potential. Now, in my 40s, more so .
I have never shared income with a partner (even my ex hubby), and have never cared about a partner's income. But I care a lot about what you choose to do with your time on earth.
I don't think I dated anyone who was in a dead-end job (rather than a career) after college, other than one guy who was working on an advanced degree. And even some of the guys I dated during college were also doing an internship in their field.
I was never attracted to those kinds of men. I did date an unemployed guy several years but I won't do it again.
Same here.
It's not about career or money, but being a responsible adult who supports himself financially. Future goals & potential is definitely something I still consider, and I am 29, but it can depend on the age of the man in question also (younger or older than me?).
I understand falling on hard times, but that turned out not to be the case with my ex...
I also understand having non-career goals that don't bring in income. Because my ex did a lot of volunteer work, I overlooked his lack of job for some time before it became clear he had no intention to find work. But someone who chooses to work less in order to GIVE more unselfishly would win points with me; it's all about the REASON they are where they are.
