LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Drew Barrymore’s dating policy is clear: if a man isn’t working, neither is the relationship. The actress and talk show host recently shared her unapologetic views on love and romance, drawing praise for her bold confession during an episode of 'The Drew Barrymore Show', where she sat down with lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart.

The conversation, which took place on the latest episode of Barrymore's eponymous talk show, centered around relationships, and Barrymore didn't hold back when it came to discussing her dating experiences.

Barrymore particularly appreciated Stewart’s honest remark about not caring so much about what her ex-partner felt but rather focusing on "what people are doing with themselves.”

This led to an interesting exchange between the two women, with Barrymore asking Stewart if she had ever been with “an idle man”—a man who wasn’t actively pursuing goals or ambitions.

“A man not doing anything?” Martha Stewart replied, before adding emphatically, “They don’t interest me.” The audience erupted in laughter at her candidness, but Barrymore wasn’t far behind with her own experience.

“I have,” Barrymore admitted. “I can’t recommend it.”

The two shared a laugh, with Stewart joking, “I wouldn’t think of it!” Barrymore, in turn, shared the revelation that being with an “idle man” helped her realize her own relationship motto: “If you don’t work, we don’t work.”
