They say love has no boundaries, even though they try to put us into classes and hierarchy in the western world, for some strange reason a rich person can full in love with a poor person or a working class man with a boss from a corp firm. Is this social mobility in a form? Does it happen often and does it work? Not that I would go out my way and try and pull business ladies as I prefer my own kind that are similar to me and my class(working class) you heard of interracial dating but what about interclass dating? But to be honest we all the same and Human at end of day.

What you reckon?
 
i think love can transcend almost anything.

but having said that, i have dated rich women and i wouldn't deliberately do so again. my worldview is not really compatible with those who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
it's just a preference/hangup of mine.
 
Fit posh girls are wicked. You say "they" put is into classes but it sounds like you're playing that game yourself.
 
i certainly am class-aware, but it's not always a bad thing (to be aware, not to be divided by "class").
IME it's worse not to acknowledge that you have a different background to a potential suitor.
 
^I was reffering to op, not you. There are differences between classes but ultimately humans are driven by the same systems, just in different ways.
 
Wouldnt bother me in the slightest. It is actually in a sense what I want, I live in the same city as Yale University and often say I'll probably end up dating one of them because surely they are as driven, self centered, and perhaps even as intelligent as myself. I would strongly prefer someone who will challenge me in those areas as it seems a lot of people dont. (dont worry i dont voice my lofty view of myself unless asked like here) I know its because of who I associate with but still would be nice to have someone as capable as myself, which my previous girlfriend have been... they just werent "of a different class" really.

Personally I feel this is more of a "how do you view yourself and your ability to peer bond with people that may have different priorities and personalities then yourself" and you picked a specific group to ask about. So to answer that question I generally bond well with people and have varied interests which make associating with all types easy.

yeah, i know. and i agree. perhaps i'm just not that keen cos i've dated a couple of bratty rich kid girls in the past.

ideally class should be no barrier. absolutely not.
but for me, it's like when i meet couples that have opposing political viewpoints to one another; i don't get how that works for them, i don't really understand it - but i'm happy for them and content in the knowledge that it is possible.
but ideally, for my own sanity, i find it easier to connect with people who don't have a wildly different background to my own (assuming we grew up in the same place, etc. if we're talking people from different national cultures, it's a different story).

but i guess i'm a certain kind of person - from a socioeconomic point of view - and i'm attracted to people of a similar place in life - at least as far as (healthy, committed) relationships go.
 
Being an educated and driven female is not the same as having a wealthy background.

I've often found myself in the company of very wealthy individuals (I went to school with kids whose family were Fortune 500 and then that sort in higher education and work situations, etc. where you earn your place and some rich jerk just waltzes in.)

There is an inherent sense of entitlement and of course a visceral lack of understanding of things like not having enough food.

I honestly find it uncomfortable to be around them and I definitely prefer self-made individuals who know what it is not to belong in either world.

But I do know how to be around them and "fit in", which comes in handy.
 
I used to want upeclass girls thinking that they have an apealing attitude, are often educated, have deep personalities and love their selves, just like we see them in movies.
But my expirience with them has shown otherwise. They tend to be shalow, unintresting, ignorant and the worst: Judgmental af.
I clearly prefer a not spoiled, understanding and life expirienced girl now who knows how it is to live with passion, even though I have to admit, all this goodmaner thing with rich girls is a turn on for me, mostly because it gives me an illusion of grandeur.
 
The ideal choice of caste for a date is someone who is outside of caste. That is someone who rejects the notions of generational entitlement, of a rigid caste system such as is found in the US, recreational spending to "keep up with the joneses," rejects social strivign, and who rejects all of the snobbery that goes with it. Such a person is more likely to value knowledge, cultural, artistic, or religious/spirtual pursuites to material wealth. She is an independent thinker.

Caste is a big deal in the US. Sociologists have shown that the division between the rich and the poor is wider in the US than it is in England and many other developed countries. The American Dream, defined as the ability to become prosperous despite how low ones birth, is a myth. There is more upward mobility in England, a country that still has an aristocracy.

Upper caste American Women tend to be sheltered, ignorant, and self-entitled. For the most part, they only marry among themselves. They don't stand on their own two feet but on their fathers'.

Middle class American Women take this trend further. Sociologists have found that the Middle Class is even more snobbish than the upper caste. They go to extremes pretending to be upper class. They go into credit card debt buying designer clothing and handbags. They buy McMansions they cannot afford. They go out of their way to belittle anyone who does not conform to their expectation of social striving. The vast majority of middle class seek to "marry up." They author books like "Smart Girls Marry Money" and follow guides on "how to marry a millionaire." This is ironic because in many cases, their parents or grand parents grew up in poverty. It's like they are trying to compensate for the fact that a single economic downturn could take it all away and turn them into the underclass. In fact, it's already happening.

I've dated a few working class women. Their habits and behaviours stand out. They watch television all day, shop at walmart, and eat at MacDonalds. They haven't gone to college and do not read. They wouldn't be caught dead on a bicycle because bicycles are for poor people who cannot afford cars.They don't know how to hide their background, and most won't be bothered to go to the effort to learn.

Having said that, I've dated more upper caste women than middle class or blue colar. Most of the upper caste women I have been with were not American. Besides caste-free women, my preference is foreign upper caste women. They tend to be more open minded, knowledgeable about how the world really works, and educated than theri American sisters.

^^ Yeah all that stuff happens a lot here with class/caste, unfortunately. Fortunately, there are a lot of people who don't too, especially in some areas.

Personally I'd be turned off immediately by anyone exhibiting behavior I don't respect. But I'd give anyone an equal try, I wouldn't dismiss someone out of hand because of their socioeconomic class.
 
How much money do you have? A lot- yes. None -yes, but she has to be ok with that, alot of em won't be because why would they date some poor dude when they can get any guy they want. Assuming they are attractive.
 
So would you find 'upper class chicks' in the rooms of AA/NA?
If so then,sure lol.
 
I like it how all of the answers are about the upperclass chick's behavours and personalities and noone said "I would date an upper class chick for her money".
I wish most women were like that too.
 
It hasn't been my experience that most women date people for their money... I think you may be going after the wrong ones.

To be sure though, it happens more often that women go after men for money rather than the opposite. I think it goes down to both the roots of our society (not even that long ago women had no rights and had to have a man take care of them because society wouldn't let them have jobs, property, etc, so of course they tried to marry a guy who could take care of them), which is turn goes all the way back to pre-civilization/nature. Women have the children, men provide, it's a partnership. Some women are straight-up gold diggers, and some women want to be stay at home moms and raise children, but a lot of women today want neither of those things and are looking for someone that they can have fun with and respect and just have a relationship with.
 
Throw in "ugly/not really hot" or "not high out of ten" rating and I'm guessing the question of "how rich?" will arise with some guys (not necessarily most of the ones on this thread) based on comments prevalent at this site.
 
My ex-girlfriend was very much middle class, whereas I am very much not. She came from a nice big cottage down south in the homelands, whereas I grew up in a northern "new town" suburb. I can remember staying at her uncles second house in London with her, and the only access was via a gate with armed guards because it was Tony Blairs street. Stuff like that was pretty weird, especially for somebody who is generally anti-establishment and pro-hedonism/psychedelics/etc.

But I just found it interesting really. Her family were very welcoming and accepted me completely. She is a very laid back and funny person, and whilst I can see that part of her strives for and admires the upper class lifestyle, she was just a normal girl trying to find her place in the world (and herself). I never really saw the relevance of making any distinctions beyond that.
