Something like "do not contact me if you.....blah blah blah." One of those things was a job. So what I want to know is why is having a job so important to a woman. What if the guy is in between things or on unemployment or like me on disability. Needless to say I wouldn't respond to a woman like that but I am curious to know why it's so important for many women. Are they looking for sugar daddies? I doubt the opposite would be true. I doubt you would see many men's profiles saying they wouldn't date a woman(especially if she looked like a supermodel)if she had no job.
I would guess that 95% of the women who have something like this on their profile have it there because of some past distasteful experience. Also, another reason could like be (especially in today's economy) no one - male or female - wants to date someone who can't support themselves. There are plenty of people (male and female) who don't work because they are lazy. Yes, there are plenty of legitimate reasons for someone not having a job, but you can't really fault someone for expecting their potential significant other to be able to support themselves (whatever their means of support might be).
