This is a perfect example of not being able to really know someone's economic status by looking at them. The guy driving a Mercedes might be broke, the guy driving a Hyundai might be loaded.
Some people crave status, I just take the money and skip the status part...
This.
An example that happened not too long ago:
I was at school, and every now and then I decided to change my clothing style completely because I was still trying to find what clothing/lifestyle did I like.
I could buy anything from an overpriced pair of nikes to whatever I wanted at that moment(my father never really liked any of this things so he was quite happy to give me money to buy new stuff hopingthat the next time it would be more suitable for a teenager living in a golf course).
At some point on my last year of hs I started listening to punk rock and I decided another change wouldnt harm. My father thought this change wasnt appropiate therefore he didnt give me any money. I bought a green day shirt. a pair of skull related items and I started wearing them weekly.
At some point one of my classmates said dude you could afford anything why are you wearing this crap?, as an answer I informed him that I wanted to wear that kind of clothes and that I didnt have any problem with them.
All he could come up with was well thats an odd choice. To which I answered thats your opinion and I dont really care about it.
Back on topic I dont think theres anything wrong with not wanting to date those that are poor. everyone has their own quirks when it comes to dating and at least you are being honest about it.
Personally Im the complete opposite I cant/wont date rich girls. I have seen to many of them and they allways remind me of one of my sisters(most rich girls act in a similar way and my sisters love showing they so they follow that pattern whenever they can) and dating someone that reminds me of a relative is a no go for me.
