Well your question is flawed right out of the gate here. "Trailer park" implies a negative connotation. Everyone knows this. Then you go on to describe a setup most of us would enjoy. I have a motorhome valued at $325,000 and it rivals most modern homes built today. It's a luxury penthouse on wheels and most women who enter it for the first time and speechless. So do I think most women are turned off by luxury Rving? No! Do I think most educated sophistated, modern women would date a guy living in a true trailer park, IE in a mobile home? No, I do not.
Silliest question ever. I really don't care where a guy lives. I have my own effin' house, and I take care of myself because, you know, I'm an adult. My only financial requirements are that a guy be able to take care of himself and doesn't spend too stupidly.
Interesting question. The OPs example and some of the others demomstrated examples that were outside of the stereotypical poor Trailor person. I lived in a couple of trailor parks when I was right out of highschool that could be described as working poor or lower middle class followed by a couple of apartments that will probably a step down from the trailers. Even though I had that experience, I do find myself applying the typical stereotype when I hear it.

What if he does not have any money to spent and is in poverty ? The good news is for me i am going back to college so i can get out of poverty . I woman wants a guy that can support a family or at least help bring home the bacon.
I was discussing this stigma with a work friend of mine. I never really actually thought about it but yes I could see how it would be hard for him. Personally, I'd try to put the fact off as long as possible.
Now I admit trailer hood can mean many things. Could mean a pop-up pulled by your Gremlin or in his case, a $75,000 fifth wheel pulled by a $50,000 rig fully paid off. Guy has cash and mostly blows it on multiple vacations and traveling. Now he could buy a house tomorrow but just hasn't found the right girl to settle down with. I laugh and tell him because he lives in a trailer! In all seriousness, I envy his life. I haven't been thinking full blown trailer but smaller house and traveling more.
Should he buy a house to improve his "settling down" potential from women? He is 33, single, no kids.
What would your first impressions be? How much stigma we talking here?
I would think if a guy has a house = responsible, an apartment = getting his life together, a trailer = ????. What do women say?
As a female, I'd say "pass". Not because of the trailer etc.
I would feel terribly guilty being the female that caused him to end his good times when clearly, he doesn't want to, or he would have already.

That's cute. I can support a family on my own if I decide to have kids. I'm not into fancy stuff, and my earning power grows every year. As I said, I require that a guy be able to handle his own expenses. Beyond that, I really don't care. From a material perspective, I would rather be with a guy who could do repairs on my home and car than a guy who earns big bucks at a desk job - so much less hassle and stress when you've got someone right in your home who can handle the expensive repairs that are sometimes necessary on a house. I tend to date guys who are handy. And I really don't care where they live.
