It's not that women hate broke guys. It's that women have a hard time respecting someone who can't take care of himself. It would turn the relationship into more of a mother-son, where she takes him everywhere in her car, pays for things, and looks after him.
It can also be a sign of deeper problems. If he can't hold a job, he might have emotional or behavioral issues that make him a poor candidate for a boyfriend.
If a guy has a reason to be broke, such as someone who is living a life of poverty to help others as part of his passion (eg a Mother Theresa-type), that's different. But the penniless guys I have met are more like rudderless ships drifting through life.
