Men: Would you date a woman who did not have a "real job"?

[Anonymous]

No. Here is the difference:

Most men don't care that much. This is a key difference between the sexes.

The exception might be young men from affluent backgrounds, who are eager to please their parents with high socioeconomic status woman.

I don't think you do either. Some men absolutely do.

OP, it depends on the particular guy you are interested in.

Depends how hot she is. I'd have sex with her, but I'd never seriously "date" her nor ever think about moving in with her or marrying her.

Chances are , she wouldn't even give you the time of the day .

Woman here. I agree. For the most part men are looking for a friendly, nice and pretty woman who will laugh at their jokes and have sex. That's really all it takes.

Men are simpletons.

Men do not care. I drifted after college and worked for years as a waitress and bartender: dated an architect, a policy analyst, a fed, and an attorney. I supported myself and was cute, funny, fun, and smart - I really think that's all men care about.

Most men I know probably would not date a woman who had not at least graduated from college. They want someone who could hold up their end of a conversation. Additionally, in this area,a second professional income means a nicer lifestyle. They want their wives to be accomplished, just slightly less so than themselves.

Also, most people I know have graduate degrees, and expect their children to at least become college graduates. They would assume that a woman without s college degree would either not encourage their kids to do well in school, would not be able to help with homework or would not expose the kids to museums, music etc. They would probably also worry that their kids with such a woman would not be academic.

The only job men care about is a blow job

Exactly this.

nannies can earn a ton of money. They are also caring and seem nurturing. What "not a real job" is that, way to disparage them.
