Here's that question

I totally hear you. (I'm 33.) There are an awful lot of hot, broke guys out there. I met the cutest guy who was HILARIOUS but he's so broke he doesn't drive his car because of the parking tickets, and if he opens his fridge, it hits into his couch/bed. We went out and he was like, "wow, $4 for a beer. that's so expensive!' So I paid. I really believe there are a lot of guys out there who are successful professionals. But, an investment banker or a corporate attorney might not be all that interesting to you. I think they're out there. With online dating you can usually gauge what a guy has (although, a lot of people lie.) I keep meeting guys who talk too much about money -- like that's the only alluring thing about them...

Sounds like what you are looking for is someone who has stability. I've read that 30 something women in internet dating are the most coveted commodity and in high demand. I'm surprised you don't have tons of guys panting at your doorstep! What you are attracted to and what you tell yourself you are looking for might be 2 different things. ..

Artists and creative types are not necessarily poor. I'm an artist and I make a decent living (mortgage payment and all!) and I'm surrounded by male artists at work that make a decent living too. This might be a case where you are attracted to "bad boy" types. ..
..
Also, you might look at men who are a little older than you for a more stable lifestyle...

I hate to say it, but if you're an artist, you probably hang out with artists all the time...

Artists are broke...

Get over it if you want to enjoy your life...

Moderately successful people tend to have hang outs, so I'd give those a try. As an artist myself (with a day job) I'd tell you that artists who are career oriented tend to hang out at places that promote their careers (galleries, art fairs etc..), so spend a rainy Sunday doing a tour of your local galleries.
