For those visited by the Pink Slip Fairy over the last several months, have you found it’s translated to an increase in JO&C time, as a result of killing your game? The AP says yes, claiming that the recession is causing your “dating” lives to take a hit. Truth? Or do you find that, alternatively, having your 9-5′s freed up simply means more available time slots to fit in the ladies you’re beating off with a stick? And for those of you still playing for Team Employment– has becoming one of the few men left on earth with a J caused a palpable shift in your favor, making it a “not even fair” situation? Or, with finance not being the same aphrodisiac it once was, do you now downplay the whole “I work at a hedge fund” aspect of your bio, which you once sent neighborhood kids over to the bar to announce ten minutes ahead of your arrival (so everyone there could plan accordingly)?

    Getting laid off is almost as bad for Mr. Happy as getting married. In neither set of circumstances does the one-eyed monk successfully enter the jade gate!

    I never did that thing with the neighborhood kids but it’s a great idea and I’m going to start now.

    You can be broke and still get chicks.
    You can be ugly and still get chicks.
    But you can’t be both.

    Just be honest — that will get it done!
    George : Excuse me, I couldn’t help but notice that you were looking in my direction.
    Victoria : Oh, yes I was, you just ordered the same exact lunch as me.
    ( G takes a deep breath )
    George : My name is George. I’m unemployed and I live with my parents.
    Victoria : I’m Victoria. Hi.

    Cheer up, especially the “broke guys”, for today in National Doughnut Day.
    Head over to Krispy Kreme and get a free donut. No purchase necessary.
    You can also get a free one at Dunkin’ Donuts, but it requires the purchase of a drink.
    Just think, you might be able to score a chick or two over there.
    TGFD is always trying to help.

    15 There certainly are a lot of them around during the day. But its all a myth. Even sex with a young stud is not enough to jeapordize the good thing they have going: a husband that makes a good living so they can walk around during the day. Plus, no way she’s going to parade you past her doorman. So it has to be off to your place and a quick tumble in the race car bed and spiderman sheets that you brought with you from your parent’s house. No way that’s gonna work.

    How about you, Bess? Do you like a broke guy or employed guy? I could be whatever you want.

    Guest@#18…
    You speak the truth about married cougars who live in the city. Most of them aren’t worth the inconvenience that comes along with them.
    If the stud wants them married (not a good thing, really), he’ll have better luck in suburbia.
    In the city or in the suburbs, the best ones are either widowed or divorced. Much easier, and a lot more enjoyable.

    The women who’ve been divorced by the guys I know are, shall we say, divorced for a reason. Neutering hags.

    I find telling people I work for a government occupied bank takes the edge off. They don’t bother to ask which one, and I don’t have to tell them.
