2014 is probably the last time ever in my life a woman will approach me and says "I really fancy you"

Interestingly enough that happened on Valentines day of that year

The first thing you need to do if you want to increase your chances of successfully dating is to get a job.

It is important especially for a dude to have a job when dating, due to traditional gender roles and their prevalence in people's minds, even today.

I have heard a lot of people refer to unemployed males as 'bums' or 'losers', because they don't have a job, so you'd be best off sorting your unemployment out before expecting any change in your dating luck, I think.

I wouldn’t say that he needs to do that. Many people who are on disability successfully date/end up in relationships.

Are there many?

I thought that disabled males were disproportionately single...

I think any disabled male would be going against unfavourable odds to land a partner.

I know lots of people who are on disability and in relationships. If one just looks online, it may seem like most disabled people are single or even that it’s hopeless.

Well, your experience of this seems optimistic in any case. I am glad that some disabled males who you know have found a relationship.

It’s sometimes easier for disabled people to date other disabled people because they might have more things in common/similar challenges to relate to.

It’s not like only men are disabled, and it’s not like most women are looking for providers in this day and age.

It’s better to focus on working towards goals that one can realistically attain. That won’t always include a job/career for some people which is okay.

That's really unfair to pick on unemployed men by labelling them bums

Unemployed women don't get that bias if there jobless. Double standards

I think that disabled women are the perfect fit for a disabled male in many cases.

I'm not picking on you.

I have been through different periods of unemployment and currently don't have a job, so if I were calling you a bum, it would also apply to me.

I'm just referring to what a lot of people think in general, in society. It's not my view personally.
