As long as we have something to do, even volunteering or picking out new hobbies. Personally I would find a way to be self employed in this economy.

‘You also lose all sex appeal when you lose all your money and prestige.’

The above statement is true if your identity is rooted in materialism or man’s opinion.

I lost my wife, mother, business and home last year. I was forced to move to another country and live with friends as I rebuilt my entire life. The rebuilding is not nearly complete as the three girls and me start over. at 43.

If a woman would display such a shallow attitude, a man would have to ask if he would want to be in a relationship with such a woman. I think not.

You also lose all sex appeal when you lose all your money and prestige. Women quantify sexual attractiveness based on wealth and status. It doesn’t matter that the world is financial meltdown and female employment is quickly eclipsing male employment, the majority of women want a man that makes more money than them. You can be the most educated, tall, gorgeous, well-dressed, sincere man on the planet, but if you don’t have a good job or real money to your name; women won’t want, let alone need, you. So single unemployed men of America, get ready for every attractive educated woman you see or meet to look right past you, talk down to you or turn lesbian.

Hello again!

I just wanted to say, please do not despair, have faith and keep focused – things have a way of correcting themselves.

I read a quote which I would like to share with you -

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has opened for us”

Thanks Brad. I am still unemployed and I am now certain it will be the biggest test of my life. I never knew this side of the job market and it is a little frightening. I have learned A LOT about myself. Good luck to you and anyone else out there who is looking. It can play some serious tricks on your psyche and it is important to keep things in perspective when looking.

I think this article is a masterpiece. I am unemployed and relate so well to the points made. Your confidence, drive and ambition can suffer greatly. All I can say is I wish all that are in this situation the very best wishes for a happy, healthy, and productive outcome.

I’ve thought about the counseling thing quite a bit lately. Men are definitely averse to it, in general. I use my close friends that are either in the same position as I am or I would consider peers. They don’t have the professional training a counselor might have though. I know that formal training helps and I think men should consider this…

Thanks for the comment. Appreciate the thoughts.

Hello!

I thought your article was beautifully written and very thought provoking. As a woman, it has helped me understand how losing a job affects men so very deeply.

I do find it strange though, why men are so averse to “counselling” to help them through this difficult period.
