How important is it to women that a 29yr old guy has a decent job and car??

Answer 1

It's important. At that age, women are looking for stability, both emotional and financial. As an ambitious young woman, I could not deal with someone less successful than I am, especially one who, instead of a girlfriend, required a sugarmama and a chauffeur. Most of us don't care for 'wealthy'--we want 'driven', 'stable', and 'independent'--someone who wants to do something with their life, someone who will be a dependable partner and (possibly) a good father.

Someone who cannot hold down a decent job or afford a car generally doesn't fit that description.

Answer 2

Well unless you live in a major city, the car is a must and it should be in okay shape, like no plastic on teh windows and not filthy. As for a decent job, what do you mean by decent? I think that a job doesn't have to pay a lot to be decent but if it doesn't, it should be considered a stepping stone to better things. My boyfriend doesn't make a lot of money at all but he's also going to school and planning on grad school so I don't care that his job isn't great now.

Answer 3

Probably pretty impt. However, a person who really cares for you will understand if you lost a job recently, are in a crisis, are in "transition", whatever. Someone who views you simply as a car or a job is not the right woman. Character is essential. But yes, women will want to know that you are independent and are making your own way in the world. I'm not sure having a car should be that impt., though -- many people take public transportation and in some cities, like NYC, everyone does.

Answer 4

A job probably is pretty important. But it depends on how well she knows the guy. He might, for example, just be in the middle of jobs, or he might want to spend some time on an advanced degree. The importance of the car depends on the guy's location, in some places there's public transportation and heavy parking fees while in other places you have to have a car.

Answer 5

I think it is important. Most of the women I know just want a man that is able to support themselves. A car is important ,but not necessary . What if you live in the city. I think if you have a job period that's great as long as you don't spend more then what you make!!! That can ruin any relationship!

Answer 6

If she is around the same age she is starting to look for a man to settle down with, most likely. Women want to know you will have the means to support a family, if it should come to that. So there is some importance there. But being a good person is more important, and anyone else telling you differently is giving bad, gold digging advice.

Answer 7

The job part is a must, the car is fleeting. I've own my own business that I'm in now for ten years and I haven't owned a car in 15 years.

Answer 8

Job is most important. No job, no boyfriend in my book. The car? As long as it doesn't backfire and blow smoke, then it doesn't matter so much, but that job you got to have.

Answer 9

I wouldn't get involved with a man if he weren't steadily employed. A car is often necessary depending on where you live (i.e. Phoenix), but if you live somewhere with a good public transportation system I guess it's not necessary but nice.

Answer 10

It's very important, unless you want a moocher stuck to your side, 24/7. "Can I have some money?" "Do grocery shopping today, okay" "I need to visit my mother down south, can I use your car? Would you fill it up with gas first?"
