Does class affect dating standards? (women, attracted, friends, definition)

[ilikecharlene]

I wouldn't really date somebody from a lower social class, i don't usually like/respect these people much.

But can a lower class person date an upper class individual, and make it a successful relationship?

I can only ask a question. What do you consider "upper class" or "lower class"? What is your definition of classes?

[purehuman]

Easily...as long as they don't have their nose too high in the air.

Socio-economics/money, as well as vocation. Also to some extent education.

I don't really see classes in people... I see classless people. I see people who are artificial snobs. Otherwise I just see people as people.

Well said. If i met a woman who was kind, And real I would not care about her "Class" in regards to career, background etc. There are many folks who look good on paper, And are miserable and negative beings. And vice versa.

This is where trouble occurs, With people lumping other folks into "classes" and dividing us further. My rule of thumb: I do not judge, And the person always gets a chance.

I grew up upper middle/lower upper class, but I honestly don't care about a woman's socioeconomic level, occupation, or educational background when deciding whether or not to spend time with her or even date her. For me, all that matters is whether or not there's an attraction, both physically and mentally. In fact, I often find myself being attracted to women who have a completely different background than I do.

And as someone above said, just because someone looks good on paper doesn't mean that they are; and vice versa.

lol... humans judge, such is life. If one wants to determine class as a determinant of dating criteria, who are you to say otherwise?

I'm middle class myself, but I wouldn't date someone from the lower class. A part of me looks at it from the standpoint of, while attraction is important, it's very important that I have someone who has something in common with me and/or can expose me to things I've never witnessed in my life time. I guess it's because my parents always drilled it into me that if I found someone, it needed to be someone who was headed in same direction or could someway allow me to move in a better direction. This doesn't mean I won't be friends with a person who isn't poor however, but as a relationship, I don't think it could work because of what I want out of relationship.
