What I'm asking is as human beings don't we tend to seek out those who material things as opposed to those who still might be struggling? Example nice house, clothes, new car, etc.
No I Definately do not seek after those things in a partner.
It would be a big deal if someone is driving around in garbage and/ or living in a pig stye.

Don't be immediately impressed, you don't see the credit card debt in their mailbox at the end of the month.

With gas prices going up I'm not impressed at all. Not big on the idea of making a new car payment along with rising gas prices. And to be honest I LOVE my little Mazda!!!!!!! I'm guessing I'm the only one here who is NOT in debt up to thier eyeballs. And I want to keep it that way I'm one of those if I can't afford to pay for it with gas then I don't need it. Paint job on the way.
I'm saving that for my next house I plan to buy at some point. In think people do tend to judge others on what they drive or where they live or how they dress. Even where they drink thier coffee.
Other then rent my only other monthly bill is car insurance.
I have a mortgage and I don't like thinking of car insurance every month, so I pay it annually. I like money and good stuff like the next person, but that doesn't mean I like debt.

I live on next to nothing (bad career choices), but I have my own house (almost paid), own car (paid for), suitable clothes. So I'm not impressed with the fancy cars (I couldn't tell an Audi from a BMW if my life depended on it) or someone throwing around a lot of money for dinners, etc.
I am more comfortable with someone on my own level of materialism. Comfortable, fairly debt free, secure.
Could care less what type of car a guy drives as long as it's clean and not likely to break down on our date. I think guys tend to overvalue the impression a car makes on a woman.
Once broke up with a guy who, a few weeks later, showed up in my driveway with a new BMW and asked if I wanted to drive it. I swear he thought the car would so impress me that I'd want to go out with him again.
The only time I was really impressed with a guy's car was when I was 16 years old and my prom date showed up driving his dad's new Jag. It did look good in pictures. But I was 16 and still naive and impressionable.
