Would you consider it shallow for a man not to date a woman due to financial status? (dating, women)

It has always seemed to me that even if a guy is otherwise a good, even great guy if he doesn't make much, say working minimum wage it is acceptable for a woman to reject him for it. But what if it was the other way? Say a man is 30 has a good career going and making good money, he meets a woman also 30 and she is otherwise a good person but is working at fast food. But he rejects her due to it?
It would only be shallow if he treated her disrespectfully. There's nothing wrong in general with wanting to date someone with the same educational and financial status as yourself.
It goes both ways. If it's ok for a woman to reject a man who is working and making minimum wage, then why would it be any different for a man to reject a woman in the same position?
Shallow is in the eyes of the beholder. There are lots of things I think are shallow but others might not think so. In you case, it just sounds like a double standard.
I've had to carry a whole household for many years... I'm not doing that again. The next girl either has to make a decent income that she could sustain herself comfortably without me or be on a carreer path that will get her there.

Yes. That's what's always amazed me about many guys who post here claiming they don't care what a woman makes, and that women who care what a man makes are shallow gold diggers.
IMO, you should care to find someone who is self-sufficient and doesn't need to financially depend on others to get by in life. If you want to date/marry a dependent, then you're also choosing the consequences of what it means to be the sole provider.

I think people should stick to their own social class. Thwre are exceptions though. Spending and investing habits are some of the most important aspects of a relationship.

So would you say that it's ok to date a woman of a "lower social class" who saves, budgets, invests, has good credit, may not have the best-paying or white-collar job but she has her own place and has owns her car that no one helps her pay for, has little to no debt, and is attractive and intelligent?
