Fifty percent of U.S. men versus 36 percent of women say they would choose a date over work, a survey for the specialty dating service It’s Just Lunch said.
It’s Just Lunch asked more than 4,300 U.S. single men and women a series of questions regarding how they view dating issues related to work.
Forty-one percent of the women said work and dating held near equal importance in their lives and they made time for both.
Much is often made about figuring out what men and women really want for Valentine’s Day, but you know what? It turns out the answers aren’t all that complicated. Matchmaking service It’s Just Lunch (which you might remember from that poll about whether sports and relationships mix) surveyed 1,000 of its users to get to the bottom of this often-considered question — and not only are the results not surprising, they’re actually kind of comforting. Generally, it seems like we all just want to have a nice meal and spend some quality time with our loved ones. Isn’t that nice? When you get past all the floofy decorations, florid prose, and questionable boxes of chocolates that inevitably appear during the first few weeks of February, that’s exactly what Valentine’s Day should be about: Appreciating the people you love.
It’s Just Lunch, a dating service for professionals, recently conducted a study that found 75 percent of women would be unlikely to date a man who is unemployed.
However, 42 percent of the 75 percent said they might go out on a date with a guy who doesn’t have a job, but probably wouldn’t want to date him long-term (which many guys would actually prefer).
The research, which was based on 925 responses, revealed only 21 percent said they would definitely date an unemployed man, noted BusinessNewsDaily.com.
“Not having a job will definitely make it harder for men to date someone they don’t already know,” said Irene LaCota, spokesperson for It’s Just Lunch, said in a press release. “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.”
