If I was a single woman of about his age, financially stable, healthy, and of a socially approved weight, and I was looking for a partner, my criteria would include that there is something, anything at all, that makes the potential partner attractive.

All he has given is a list of things that aren't (by his standards) wrong with him. and that he therefore feels entitled to judge women by: no active reason why I would want to date, or even talk to, him. Not just "I'm not after your money, and you'd better not be after mine."

What this tells me is that he's almost certainly one of the large majority of men who would break up with a woman who became disabled or chronically ill. There's no way to be sure a partner won't do that, but why choose someone who is as much as advertising that they will?
