NJ beat me to it. It's different if he doesn't have to work, either due to wealth or retirement.
I don't know if you've caught onto the latest craze or not, but a whole slew of men are not calling themselves "entrepreneurs" because they drive for Lyft. Ugh. Just as bad.
I'm a woman or didn't you get that from my reference to dating a man. No, I don't want to be a Sugar Daddy or a Sugar Mommy either, so if you're looking, you need to look elsewhere. :)
I guess it would all depend on why they didn't have a job. If they were self-sufficient without one .. sure. But if they were looking for someone to support them or loan them money ... nope.
A woman w/o a job was the 1st dis qualifier when I was dating. The exception was a Trust Fund Baby, dated enough of them however. Inheriting large bucks counts as being employed - aka they would not be a drag on my finances.
Currently living with and co-parenting with one, is she does have a job however.
