Why do people care about incomes and jobs when they date? What do you care how much money i make, you ain’t getting any of it. My job is my way of making money and in no way reflects my personality in any way, so I don’t even like talking about work and capitalism on a date.
Many people don’t want to date someone destitute or with poor financial prospects. That’s just going to be hardship, and there are many other people that are probably just as good a fit without that problem.
Similarly, someone who makes way more money than you can add tension. They might be like “oh let’s go out for dinner!” to someplace expensive, and you don’t have the budget for it. Are they going to pay for it? Are they going to resent that? Are they going to pressure you into paying? Their expectations and standards may not align.
Also, if the relationship is going to be long term most people assume there will be some merging of finances.
Some jobs are also just gross. I wouldn’t date someone who worked at Facebook. I wouldn’t date someone who worked for Fox News. Your job 100% can reflect your values and personality.
It’s fine for long term but I see it even in people who advertise they’re only looking for casual, and to be fair it only seems to be an issue if you’re a man. If a woman is a dog groomer making minimum wage, she’ll look down at a guy making slightly more. Tbf I’ve only dated women and not in a while, but I always found that society cares more about a man’s pay when it comes to dating

It’s sad that money trumps love and attraction now
I mean, that’s kind of been the case for like all of recorded history
Ideally in the future it will build into a partnership where it will matter.
Probably people who are looking to form a long term committed relationship where resources will be shared.
Some people wanna live good lives, there is no other way of saying this! Is it unabashed to openly have this in your list of criteria? It is
One of the very few, but strong reasons I don’t have long term relationships with woman! I would recommend for you to look up femboys OwO
