As a man who lives below the poverty line I am extremely insecure about dating just because I worry about my partner trading up for someone with more money than me.

The consumerist culture doesn't help my confidence with women either. That Bruno Mars song "That's What I like" is literally just 3.5 minutes of him explaining how he seduces women by buying them lots of very expensive things. I couldn't even compete with a walmart middle manager at that game.
