the ones with jobs seem to want men with high paying jobs to match their own., the jobless ones want men with high paying jobs to provide for them.
Two points: Each person is unique, so forget trying to assign such characteristics as materialistic, to people based on their education and employment. Second, there is nothing wrong with your situation and there is no need to be embarrassed about it. If you are sheepish and not forthcoming in your description of yourself, your lack of confidence would be a turn off. You take care of your mother and sister - that's great - sell it. You have two jobs! That's great! You're hard working. Change the way you perceive yourself and you will change the way others perceive you too.
