its not about getting technical but explains it (to me at least)
qualities being particular attributes that are pretty defined and hard to change
and which define what you find attractive in a person

so being fat and broke doesn't qualify
saying 'i wont date someone who is broke'
i assume means its because you attribute certain qualities to this that you would probably find unnatractive (whether or not this is even true)
but being broke is not well defined neither is it static
i could be a broke-ass student but that has nothing to do with my personality
now, if someone else thinks broke=lazy, then thats something else
and talking about shallow, materialistic people is a waste of time
