"Tawkify, a matchmaking service, surveyed 1,010 U.S. adults to find out how work-related trends are shaping modern dating. Turns out having a job is no longer a must-have for a growing number of romance seekers. These days, only 29% of daters say that unemployment is a red flag that would make them inclined to turn down a potential partner. Likewise, while living with one's parents would've once been considered a major turnoff, nowadays, less than half of singles (42%) say it would be a deal-breaker."
"The data seems to speak to just how financially tough times really are, which could lead to a small but important silver lining: a lot less judgment over potential partners not being gainfully employed. But the findings get even better for those who are unemployed but showing off their ambition in other ways. Nearly three in four employed people said they were open to dating someone who is unemployed as long as they have a "side hustle" or "a meaningful personal project.""
Tawkify surveyed 1,010 U.S. adults about work-related trends and dating. Only 29% of daters view unemployment as a red flag. Less than half (42%) consider living with parents a deal-breaker. Nearly three in four employed people are open to dating someone who is unemployed if they have a side hustle or meaningful personal project. Unemployment changes dating behavior: only one in three unemployed singles actively seeks a partner after job loss, one-third stopped going on dates, and 25% shifted to cheaper dates. Financial stress and reduced confidence are common, with 65% citing affordability challenges, 62% feeling less desirable, and 52% anxious about revealing joblessness. A gender gap exists in how job status influences dating preferences.
