Financial status? How do you know he isn't in major debt? or that the car was a gift?

I think the most obvious one is how clean he his/how on top of taking care of things he is: if his oil change sticker is 7 months outdated, well then he might be one of those guys you have to remind to pay bills, etc all the time. If his car's a mess, then his house likely is to. I'm sure there are other things to, but that's just what I notice. It's always a good sign if he has a gym bag in the back too, wink wink.

So what you're telling me is that you enjoy driving around in a van from circa 1970 with dark tinted windows ? Ok, I can respect that.

Ugh, working out at the gym doesn't guarantee anything. I know some guys that always work out yet have real average looking bodies. 
Your body type is genetic more so than anything else.

Most people that have real money don't bling. Ever heard of the millionaire next door.
I'd rather have money and look causal, then look the part and not have any money.
JMHO.

Exactly I know of people that horde money, live below their means, wear clothes that are several decades old, and do not flaunt anything they own.
