Working vs Relationships

It was recently posited to me that asking someone out quite closely parallels trying to get a job interview. His basic premise: after initial interview you often are needed back for a secondary one after candidates for the position have been narrowed down, if you get the job you need to perform well or you'll get fired, and if you don't like quitting outright you can deliberately sabotage the job and hope that they don't need your services so badly that they keep you anyway.

Not a bad comparison overall. I constantly hear people say relationships are work. Maybe I misinterpreted that as a metaphor. Perhaps analysis of the opposite will yield better understanding. Being unemployed vs being 'unemployed':
* Don't care about what you look like
* The main things you spend money on are alcohol and fast food
* You spend half the day celebrating not having to work and the other half scheming of ways to get someone to pay you without putting in the effort
* You hate being around people who are 'employed'
* The most frequented place outside of your apt is your parents house
* While everyone else is 'working' you spend your time playing video games and watching TV
* The older you get, the more socially unacceptable it seems to become

The only problem lies in the fact that if you go long enough without having a real job the government will send you a welfare check. Maybe I need to stick with it longer but I have yet to receive a giant box with holes punched in it that smells like cheap perfume with the return address of the US government.
