I agree with your assessment, that’s why I found what he (our resident player) said quite contradictory:
On one hand, he says a woman craves for a sense of male stability (which wouldn’t come into question if it were just a fling), but one the other hand, he was quick to say that the stability has little if anything to do with money (which as you rightly called it, actually plays quite a big part in the ability of a person to provide the physical and material part of stability).
Love may make the world go round, but money makes it go round so much smoother. I’m just mature (and old enough) to admit it.

I noticed the same, hence my last paragraph to distinguish long vs short term relationships. Don't forget he is allergic to the former, so I just realised that it makes a lot of sense he thinks that way. Maybe, just maybe... perhaps his reluctance of engaging in long term relationship is an escape from this reality: "no need to answer to the financial expectations if there's no strings attached."
Disclaimer to others: I'm not advocating "ada wang, ada amoi" philosophy, nor that money is the most important trait in men. You can certainly find your love without 20k celery, as long as you have something in your career.

while i'm aware and I have experienced it myself with heartache on 'ada wang, ada amoi' (this is really true, even my wife said it), one should not overlook the cultural factors in play.
in some other cultures, you can clearly see couples getting married despite the husband holding improper jobs or those 3D jobs. If you speak to them, financial stability is not the most important trait to them.
And some women are clearly charmed by the wits of men who are good in sweet talking despite holding improper jobs.
whereas in some specific culture, the daily life revolves around money, money, and money, for example, attending a wedding involves giving away money, attending funeral also involves giving away money, even attending birthday celebrations also involves giving away money.
