I don't think that being unemployed at 32 means nobody can be interested in you.
I know there are a lot of corners of the internet that will have you believe these sorts of things. Those corners are extremely toxic and damaging, please don't hang out there. It's angry men describing the whole world based on a few bad and exaggerated anecdotes.
We are all just people. Some people look for successful people - I have even played the devils advocate in defending gold-diggers. Because success (money/power) is a measurement that is valued in society, I don't think it is so strange that some people value these things highly in their relationships. I personally do not, but if someone has a career, ambition and passion, sure, it can be attractive - but it is far from everything.
The foundation of a relationship should be honesty. If you can express why you are unemployed, what your issues are, that maybe you need to search for yourself and your passions (this is my situation), then nobody should see that as a bad thing. If you are in such a state that you might never be able to work, then it can by many be viewed as a problem when considering long term dating and starting a family. It is all about what kind of people you both are, what your situations and goals are. No need to give up. No need at all. :)

I agree with this sentiment.
What I look for in a man is a kind heart, positive attitude, ambition and drive. We all have ups and downs in life but its how someone handles these times that are important to me.
