This is a good question; being a guy who has been on both sides of this situation I have some insight. I'm a man who has been a single dad, with a career as an electrician; I would describe myself as lower middle class. I own a home in an older part of town, (and some rental property there too), and have an 8 year old car and truck. I dated a woman for a several months that had quite a bit of money, she lived in a huge home that was lavishly furnished, and had a condo in a resort town. We got along well, and we had a very good sex life, we are both honest and decent, but it didn't work out. Our life styles were very different; she worked 70 hours a week at a job that was very stressful and had done so for years. I do work a lot of overtime, but never had that kind of demand, and for the last 20 years I had spent my time with my kids, with no apologies for that. I was happy to spend time at her place, but she didn't like mine, I could tell. She has worked hard for a lot of what she has, as have I, but she had a lot more, and I would say that she was smarter than me. When I couldn’t do some activity because of money, it didn’t sit well with her. It was funny, we never discussed this issue, and one day she ended the relationship with a bogus reason. I would sum it up by saying that it could be a good thing short term, but there are too many issues long term. It's similar to a conscious decision I made long ago, not to date women who lived hand to mouth, with no good life plan. I enjoyed the pleasure of her company, but there is always the thought, 'Is this person scamming me for my money?'
