It might be reasonable for me to think "ok, but now I don't want to go out with her". I don't know yet if that's how I feel. Some considerations.
  • She was just being honest about what she wants in a date. We call have our own preferences, many of which don't seem very enlightened if you have to say them out loud.
  • Money does count, and women in our society tend to view boyfriends as potential providers or at least financial partners.
  • Nobody's perfect, and I could do worse than be with someone who is honest.
  • I still kinda like her.
Did she explain why she wouldn't date a dishwasher? Did she actually say it?
You are right that women and men look for financial partners but that's true for serious relationship and marriage. I don't think it matters if it's just casual. Not sure what you are looking for
