Having been married to someone who would not get a job, the "bum" description would make me pass on a profile, but I think financially responsible women (even those not FI themselves) would be intrigued by someone who was able to retire early.
I'd want to know the circumstances. Plenty of people in their 50s and 60s lose a job and then decide that whatever SS they can get is enough (maybe spending down savings till they can collect at 62). Those are shaky plans, which can be derailed by blowing through a health insurance deductible, needing to replace a car, etc. Someone who's ER wouldn't be a turnoff in and of itself, but I wouldn't assume it was a guarantee of long-term solvency.
