Being broke and striggling to pay bills is an instant turn off.

This dream "broke" guy they are thinking of has oodles of time to shower her with surprises and attention, they're imagining some amazing ("expensive") exotic part of the world, sun shining. They guy will have multiple modes of transport, money for products for grooming and of course be fit, aka can afford decent food and time to have a dedicated workout schedule.

What they are really imagining when picturing their dream brokie is some trust fund kid who doesn't have to work and can larp around with them in Europe.

Just lmao.

Brb imagining a pallid-skinned min-wagie struggling to keep the lights on in Croydon stressing about the next 12 hour shift in tesco.
