You'd be misrepresenting the truth.
Sounds like a lousy way to start a relationship.
I wouldn't blow my load and become a banker to appease one girl, but he would definitely benefit by getting some kind of accreditation so that he can define himself by something other than poker player.
Find a service that compliments your academic background, get the certification, market yourself to people in your extended social network and find ways to improve the lives of the people around you. Obviously you're doing it to be liked, but it doesn't have to be that much of a chore.
The great thing about being financially stable is that you don't have to care that much about money. And you'd probably have a lot more fun learning new skills and being social than grinding another million hands of poker.
