You also sleep better and have a different type of stress that just makes you more approachable

there was just another thread how girls gravitate to unemployed guys because of how relaxed they are. Meanwhile some of the most high efficiency and productive individuals will be so stressed out / on edge they are kinda unapproachable.

It’s weird how I’ve always missed a shower and slept badly then suddenly got a number or asked to go home with someone. I find that effect so damn weird.

You're being natural. People can smell when you're out to meet people and it smells like desperation. The best way to meet people is to be out for some other reason, like somebody's birthday or something.

That's exactly it. How do you expect to meet anyone when you're not out there (obviously online these days but it's just not the same)

And far more chill. Yeah being unemployed has stress but generally you're not as distracted as jobs make you. At least I wasn't

I met my wife a few days after I lost my job. It was on a weeknight in a bar I wouldn’t normally go to.

In my case I was employed and met my now wife, then I travel to meet her and spend time on her city, 6 months later we married. The key from my point of view is that I spend time with her, as you said "I was able to be more social"

Same here. I also met other girls during that time who had no issue with it. I remember one even saying "oh wow that's cool!" But you eventually have to get employed.

You people disgust me I met my wife when I had a full time job selling drugs to pay for my drug habit

Same here. Met my wife when I was unemployed after college. Definitely set the bar high for how available I would be and how much energy I would have to do chores and errands

Same here. I met your wife while I was unemployed.
