Doesn't take away from the fact that broke men, or poor men are viewed as losers in the dating game.
To me it depends on what is considered poor and why they are that way. If they are unemployed because of the economy then that is something they can't help. However, if they are unemployed because they are too lazy another story, same thing with underemployed. Case in point I had a 50 year old guy who worked in a fast food restaurant contact me on a dating site and I turned him down. He has worked in fast food for 30 years as a cook and he would not be compatible to me being a white collar professional in upper management.

I bet you would have gone out with him if he looked like Brad Pitt. Admit it.

To understand the whole mentality behind throwing the term 'loser' you have to ask, what are they losing AT? This game they call 'Life' I suppose, where to 'win' means a successful career, a 'loving' marriage, 2.1 kids.etc. Is this the standard for 'winning'? If so many of the losers might be having the last laugh.
No I don't date guys because of how they look. In my teens I met a guy who looked like a dead ringer for one of my favorite rock stars. Yes I did want to date him because of this (keep in mind I was 17 then)but once I got to know him i realized he was boring and not my type (and just wanted sex). Ironically years later I met the rock star and he was very cool and no didn't ask me to sleep with him.

And I don't see why.... Poor men mostly comprise of men who put in a honest days work who collectively keep the basic infrastructure of the modern world maintained.
You know... When you go to grab that caned food off the shelf, lather up in your favorite soap, or pump your gas that enables you to drive to work; this was all due to some male "loser".
Where is the gratitude? Where is the compassion? Why don't any hot girls even throw any of these guys even a bone?
This is the basis as to why when some of these men EVENTUALLY make enough money for widespread female approval, they treat women as pure sex objects which is a man's way of returning the same cold calculating judgmental mistreatment.
