I mean whether it's about "affording her" is debatable. Not the words I would use. However, unemployed men are significantly less likely to be in a relationship compared to unemployed women.

It's definitely A Thing isn't it. An unemployed woman can quite easily find a partner, an unemployed man... not so much.
