Despite tough economic times and a solid unemployment rate, a new study has revealed that women are not interested in dating a man with no job.

Dating site, It's Just Lunch, surveyed 925 men and women and found that a whopping 75per cent of women were turned off by unemployment.
...Job prospects? A new survey has found that women are less likely to date a guy if he is out of work and will staunchly refuse if finding a job is not a priority But a generous 43per cent said they would consider seeing someone who was unemployed if getting a job was a priority in the near future.
A mere 21per cent responded to the survey by saying they didn't care and would go out with someone regardless of what their professional ambitions may be.
The research found that women were more concerned with the idea of a man being 'engaged in an activity'
...Irene LaCota is a spokesman for It's Just Lunch told Jezebel: 'Not having a job will definitely make it harder for men to date someone they don't already know.
'This is the rare area, compared to other topics we've done surveys on, where women's old-fashioned beliefs about sex roles seem to apply.'
So while hard times have understandably left many without a paycheck, men who never had a professional goal in the first place are among those who will find it harder to appeal to women.
