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.
What if I'm one of those eco-friendly people? Does taking the bus mean I'm cheap? I can understand the rest of your post but I can't wrap my head around why people are so picky. I just want to live a modest life and if that is enough to turn off a certain set of females, I guess that's what it is. I've met a lot of penniless guys in my life who have endearing life stories, but are doing everything in their powers to get them self out that rut. I guess it comes down to ones level of maturity, I'll probably have a different prospective 4 years from now.
