    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.
