I don't care if someone can support me or not - I can support myself.

But, I wouldn't start to get involved with someone if they couldn't support themselves. Because I do not want to spend my life supporting someone else... that would be asking me to give up everything else I enjoy in my life, because my wage is good but it's not good enough to fully support another adult.

That said... if I was in a serious commited relationship with someone, and something happened where they could no longer support themselves... I would stick with them, because I love them and was already commited to them.

Again though - if I met someone and they were currently unemployed but were looking for work, that wouldn't be a problem because life works that way. But I wouldn't continue to see someone if I found out that they wouldn't ever be working.
