I'm middle class and I only want to date people who are middle or upper class. Yet I always seem to have people poorer then me ask me and I feel bad when that is the main reason I don't want to go out with them but it's true.
Also when poor people want to date me how do I brush them off?


I dont know you in person. But your prejudice will hurt you in the end. I think it makes you pretentious.

Some of the best people i know are poor, and the worst people always tend to be upper class.

my advice to you, grow some morals

in fact, i almost think it makes you even worse than the people who reject on terms of looks. simply because you would fall under "gold digger"

Not really. At least money serves the purpose of ensuring livelihood.

It's nature at work. Girls want a rich successful guy the way guys want a girl who is hot.

This is a perfect example of not being able to really know someone's economic status by looking at them. The guy driving a Mercedes might be broke, the guy driving a Hyundai might be loaded.

Some people crave status, I just take the money and skip the status part...

This.

An example that happened not too long ago:
I was at school, and every now and then I decided to change my clothing style completely because I was still trying to find what clothing/lifestyle did I like.

I could buy anything from an overpriced pair of nikes to whatever I wanted at that moment(my father never really liked any of this things so he was quite happy to give me money to buy new stuff hopingthat the next time it would be more suitable for a teenager living in a golf course).

At some point on my last year of hs I started listening to punk rock and I decided another change wouldnt harm. My father thought this change wasnt appropiate therefore he didnt give me any money. I bought a green day shirt. a pair of skull related items and I started wearing them weekly.

At some point one of my classmates said dude you could afford anything why are you wearing this crap?, as an answer I informed him that I wanted to wear that kind of clothes and that I didnt have any problem with them.

All he could come up with was well thats an odd choice. To which I answered thats your opinion and I dont really care about it.



Back on topic I dont think theres anything wrong with not wanting to date those that are poor. everyone has their own quirks when it comes to dating and at least you are being honest about it.


Personally Im the complete opposite I cant/wont date rich girls. I have seen to many of them and they allways remind me of one of my sisters(most rich girls act in a similar way and my sisters love showing they so they follow that pattern whenever they can) and dating someone that reminds me of a relative is a no go for me.

I don't think it makes you a bad person, but I don't identify. I'm from AZ, and a lot of women who are below the poverty line are colored minorities, a lot of which are gorgeous. A lot of vietnamese and filipina women are lower class here in phoenix, but I'm attracted to that.

I can understand not wanting to deal with the culture of poverty and the mentality, but if it's just a monetary thing, then I think that's crude in a way.

I'm not giving you any pointers how to turn them down. How ugly. Grow up and do that for your lazy ass self.

Obviously men are less concerned with the earning power behind an attractive girl.

It's like the old Seinfeld routine, "Oh really, you work in a slaughterhouse? That's fascinating. Just lop their heads right off, eh? Do you want to get a cup of coffee?"

A big reason I'm like this now was in the past I have dated a few poor people and I felt like I was paying for everything and getting nothing back.

I can't blame a girl for looking for the best deal she can get for herself and her future children.

If a girl met a number of Ranchers she would probably find one to love and she would live a good comfortable life.
If she met a number of cowboys she would probably find one to love but would end up living in a trailer park.

But let me digress. Most "middle class" people are NOT rich.
Say your father was a lawyer or a doctor or an executive making one or two hundred thousand dollars a year.

So you were brought up in a big house with lots of toys and went to a private school and then to college.

After that you are on your own kiddo! Your Dad spent his money as it came in. He isn't one of those super-rich guys who can give you a trust fund or a job in the family banking empire.

Now you have to face the cold cruel world and get a job. And even if you can find a job it certainly isn't going to keep you in the manner to which you have been accustomed.

YOU, my dear are POOR.

Catch yourself a genuinely wealthy young man. (Good luck with that. There aren't many)

Once you have starved for a bit sharing a ratty apartment then Joe the self-employed plumber with his own business might not look like such a bad catch after all. :D

Didn't Disney teach you anything? Go watch Lady and The Tramp or Aladdin.


Also, at 19 you are still probably living off your parents middle class buck. If not, you completed college and got a decent job in record time, well done.
