I think perpetual is a strong word. I'd say i'm not gainfully employed, I do things here and there and always have my foot in the door with work, I'm also friends with disabled people, I've been friends with the part time workers, and I've been friends with seriously unemployed people as well as people who sound like they are given small jobs by cops to stay off the streets if that makes sense (hey I wouldn't mind that so not judging) to me I'm open minded and cool with everyone and honestly it's guys that have a good job and nice apartment that I find trying to get me to splurge.

I am unemployed because I'm a stay-at-home mum. It's pretty insulting/degrading to know if someone here answered no to your question. It is my choice to take care of my girls. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. And btw I don't get handouts, even from the government.

I used to know someone who couldn't keep a job. I'd ask her round to mine for a meal and watch a dvd as she said she couldn't afford to go out anywhere. She'd tell me I was "lucky" to live on my flat and "lucky" to have a car. I wasn't lucky, I worked hard to pay rent etc and afford a car. Moved away after a while and didn't keep in touch....👍

A lot of differing answers here. I find them interesting.
I don't mind friends who aren't always working for a pay check since there is more to life than a 9 to 5 job lifestyle.
I would mind if it became a regular thing to be handing out money, which usually is a big problem in any kind of relationship. lol

@mysoulsays yea lots of people think that way.... it's called being judgemental
mysoulsays · 36-40, M
@Adaydreambeliever Well am saying out of my own personal experience of my cousin and friend, also if I had been judgemental then I wouldn't have been friends with unemployed people

@Adaydreambeliever no, this is not a reason to invalidate someone of course

@NoGamesTolerated But I guess it would make a difference why they are perpetually unemployed…

That depends on if they’re users more than if they work. My husband’s mother chooses not to work & lived off my husband for many years & now his younger brother takes care of her. Money is very tight. I think it’s wrong that she watches tv 7 days a week while he works 6 days a week. My husband’s uncle also hasn’t held a job in over 15 years. He begs for money from people just about everyday. Neither of them has mental or physical impairments. They simply feel others should be taking care of them instead of them doing for themselves. That trait is extremely unattractive.
