RE: FINANCE AND ROMANCE

in #relationship5 years ago (edited)

If it was a casual dating situation and I knew we both knew it wasn't going to ever be anything else, I wouldn't care about her money situation. I might be extra careful about not getting her pregnant, though. I'm a man and my programming does not involve caring about a woman's money situation at an instinctual level.

When it comes to marriage, though, it is vital that the woman I'd marry and I were on the same page when it comes to finances. I would never knowingly enter into a marriage with someone financially irresponsible. But your question wasn't about that scenario.

I live in a first world country where you can keep a roof over your head and be adequately fed even if you're long-term unemployed. Your life would be marked by social exclusion as a result of not being able to afford the things your regular peers are. And you would be somewhat humiliated by having to fill in applications and being at the mercy of bureaucrats. Women here do not go for guys who are unemployed because they lack status. Some guys might be able to compensate for that with something else. But most unemployed guys are shunned by women except possibly by women who have serious problems themselves.

Sort:  

Sadly this is obtainable here. But asides being unemployment, there are people who have jobs but live from hand-to-mouth, don't they deserve to be lover too? I guess it's just how the society is been structured. Imagine a country like mine where the unemployed rate is over 90% it puts a lot of pressure on young men and they end up doing illegal things just to live up to the standard the society has created for them.

Derserving’s got nothing to do with. There is no equality or fairness in love. It’s about pure genetic survival.

If that's the case then I don't need it.

That's a perfectly valid choice. In fact, your life will be much more stress-free for it. Love is just our genetic material using us. If you're the kind of person capable of thinking bigger thoughts than the conventional and figuring out a purpose for your life outside of the usual, then not getting married or wasting any time pursuing romantic relationships is probably the right choice for you.
