ABC NEWS -- July 9 -- In tough economic times, what do women expect from a potential mate? With the help of two dating services, Match.com and Premier Match, "Good Morning America" assembled a panel of eight single women to get their thoughts on dating in a recession. One woman said that man's job is "definitely a factor." "I feel that a job is an important factor," said another participant, Marissa Clarke. Clarke added that she expects the man to pay on a first date if he asked her out, and other women agreed. According to a recent survey by Match.com, of 2,700 members, 71% said they would still date someone who just lost their job. FULL ARTICLE @ ABC NEWS

Interesting angle on internet dating, whether losing a job makes a difference. I am a retired 65 year old man and I have found that most of the women my age I meet on the internet at still working with no plans to retire and that often makes it difficult to find time to be together. I keep hoping to have the kind of good forturne Gordon Edwards had in his book "Internet Safari, Finding Love Online at 65," where he me several working women who had no problem making time for a relationship.
