I smoke, drink and dabble in the occassion drug or two (or 5) and I'm a level headed kid with a decent looking future. Everything in moderation is quite fun. You know what I say? Live a little, expand your mind. Get lit. Make mistakes.

You guys should take me and my friends out on a date. We're awesome at painting towns red.

I think some of the options depend, such as the "lives with parents (over 30)", but for the most part I would find it a turn off.

Gangs, drugs, and abusive I don't think I could ever deal with.
Also, if someone was obviously in a higher social class than me I think I'd feel a bit weird about it, especially if they grew up in that social class. I've dealt with those sorts of people before and sometimes it felt like we were from different planets or something.
