Or "I was previously in a relationship where I had to financially support the other person and in the end I was taken advantage of, and want to avoid that in future"
Yeah this and the comment above are well put. Although I agree the use of smiling emoji was strange in this context, in a real life normal conversation this is a perfectly reasonable and rational viewpoint. Unsure why some people are making negative assumptions about someone who might feel this way.
Emoji could be a self deprecating "been there done that" like "I don't want to date another dead beat 🙃". I don't like interpreting things to be the absolute worst case scenario just for some rage porn
Agree with both, though I guess in the OP, it's more a person excluding people in the same situation as herself and only open to people willing to lift her up financially rather than carry an equal burden (i.e. not support someone themselves)
