Except that most of us have no material interest in whether you have a job or 
not; we are not trying to get your job.

But many of us are interested in finding a person to share a life with and
that desire is interwoven with most of the things that we do.  Whether an
individual is ``spoken for'' or not is of some importance because it tells
us whether or not we have to put that interest aside.
