It is usually important for a woman that that a prospective partner i) has a job and ii) earns substantially more than than they do so when they have kids they can potentially survive on one income.
Or that the man be willing to take on primary childcare responsibility. I know many families that flipped the script. Sometimes it just makes sense.
What women aren't willing to do is support a man who wants to sit on the couch all day, refuse to help with the household, and then treats them like crap.
When I got engaged, I was earning more than my husband.
