Does anyone else see the use of the word 'independent' in a woman's dating profile a huge red flag?

I think most men are not looking to control a woman, or be 'the boss' of everything, but when I see the word independent in the first sentence of a dating profile, to me it reads, 'pain in the ass that is not worth my time'

I know it can mean different things for different people, financially independent, not looking for a clingy guy, etc. But like I said, to me it reeks of waste of time on a person that will take more and give less.

Thoughts?
