Are single people considered lower class?

Question

dynamicyandere · Accepted Answer

Lower-class for being single?

No. It’s called having standards.

Now, if they are having an incredibly difficult time finding someone who wants to be with them, even AFTER lowering their standards.

Then… They likely need to work on themselves a bit. (e. g. better personal hygiene)

Would I call them lower class?

For socioeconomic classes, I’m quite matter of fact. Whatever income bracket you’re in will determine your socioeconomic class.

Now, “lower class” as a derogatory slur?

That would depend on their behavior. Do they behave trashy and incredibly rude? AND they are also technically lower class from a socioeconomic standpoint? Sure, they’d be lower class. But, that’s regardless of whether they are single or taken.

If they are socioeconomically lower class, single, but incredibly polite, respectful, well-mannered, and grounded? No, I would not call them lower class. That would be an insult that I don’t believe they’d deserve.

Honor, dignity, and courtesy, transcends all sense of class and division. It’s universally respectable.

TLDR: No.

Yes, you are, and you should learn to accept it.

I think it's easier to make friends if you are single because people don't feel like they are cheating on your husband by befriending you and socializing with you. I have married friends but they are female most of the time or I hang out with their wives alongside them.

I won’t even entertain whoever came up with such a bullshit statement

DermalPunch · Answer

It depends how you are single? Where I am, I am defiantly viewed as lower class because I am divorced with kids.

Often by people who have a lower economic and educational status, ironically.

I am an expat where I am, and I have the privilege of living in a very chic area and all of my neighbours are "upper class" people.

An added reason they look down on me is because I am more outwardly religious than they are so they view me as lower intelligence. Even though I speak more languages than they do.

Some of them tried to intimidate me or make silly digs and from the start I shamelessly put them in their place. Now, they treat me with respect.

Whether they actually respect me inwardly or not I could care less.

If I was living with a man, I would absolutely would not have had to take them down a peg or two initially.

jeffend888 · Answer

100% yes. And I’m not referring to the single college student. I’m talking about once you get to your 30s. If you’re single in your 30s, people will treat you differently. Friends go away because they’ve created their own nuclear families - plus people will ask you when you are getting married. And it’s coming from a place of disrespect. The notion becomes, well there must be something wrong with him/her. Everyone else is getting married, so what’s the issue there?

Believe me, it happens. You’re not taken seriously, you’re treating like a child and you are certainly not treated with any kind of respect.

WiccanLady2023 · Answer

Why?

I'd rather be considered "lower class" than settle for just any douchebag that says hi.

Now where I live, doing work for a European company, in the USA welfare, drug addiction & alcholism is as commonplace as finding sand on a beach. And this conduct is very common in the USA. I mean children born out of wedlock & other statistics in the USA are many times that as would be found in Europe (excluding the UK).

Here there's plenty of people "involved" with each other and... well in Europe they'd be considered lowclass if not gutter class.

Whereas people that stay out of the ceasepool are respected.

It's so head shakingly sick the total contradictions the opposite gender has on is in the U. S., the fact that they don't even see them-AS they're saying them to us. Ones I've heard repeatedly espoused? That they hate fuckboys and their inflated senses of self-but if a guy is single and not actively trying to get with females... there MUST be something wrong with him. I've actually heard these espoused within 10 SECONDS of each other-by the exact same person, more than once. What's worse is that those assumptions... I've both watched, and experience, be played out by females in their interactions publicly with various guys. Then they MIND NUMBINGLY... can't figure out... why the screw boys are the only ones with the time to waste to pursue that gibberish.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Sharkstealth · Answer

I know I now hate being single or have so for a while. I don't like going to eat by myself and I love restaurants. I feel gay if with a guy friend going anywhere. I hate being at the gym by myself because I feel uneasy about other guys having female company in the gym.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I think for women it does demote a person. For us dudes a single chick is like an opportunity to advance.

purplepoppy · Answer

No the lower classes breed like rabbits on viagra. They have no trouble finding partners.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

I am going to say it simply, I don’t consider anyone lower or an upper class.

There’s one class for humans, as long as you sh*t and pee, you are all in the same class for me.

Show me a living person who doesn’t do any and I might change my mind.

Other than that, all are same for me.

Rtylerturek · Answer

Are they inherently lower class? No.

Being in a relationship is considered desirable though, so many people—intentionally or otherwise—can feel a sense of superiority when they have a relationship.

Single people are still just as much valuable and loveable human beings as are those in relationships, and I know. I’ve recently gone steady with my first real girlfriend. I’m happier for it, but my personal worth remains the same before and after.

jshm2 · Answer

Well... if they are so insufferable they cannot get into a relationship, then they are hardly a social animal, are they?

Yeah yeah, I heard every excuse in the book. But it's why politicians don't bother with single people too much, they don't matter too much.

DextroShade · Answer

Yes, marriage is increasingly becoming an elite institution as most men cannot get a date and most women are ran-through hoes who aren't fit for marriage.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I don't think so. I know lots of single people that are classy people and do well financially.

Anonymous · Answer

While there is no such thing as "class", if you are in fact alone. Then in every respect you are in fact not as successful in life. This is generally analogous to the concept of meritorious social hierarchy.

Anpu23 · Answer

No, as many power players concentrate on their jobs not their love life. Unless they pick up a trophy wife, they really are content with paying for their needs and moving on.

nastyb · Answer

I can tell you that one of the biggest reasons why some people are married or taken is only because they have low standards.

OfDeath · Answer

Yes and it has always been that way. Jot always lower class but outsiders. Bachelors and spinsters past a certain are considered failures in society.

And in many ways they are. Life is a struggle to not just survive but to spread ones genes. That is the game of life. One might accrue abundant wealth but if there is nobody to leave it to upon death, it is given up to natural competition. The ultimate insult.

Sparkie460 · Answer

Absolutely not. Everyone is equal. It doesn't matter if your married, single or divorced

clampfan101 · Answer

Hasn’t there always been idiots beating up on single people for being single? Kings were once judged by the number of their wives. I’m curious which gender is getting hit harder nowadays.

sheenagwapa · Answer

ouch... if being single is being lower class being with an asshole is being a moron

Yannishka · Answer

The society sure loves to paint it like that sometimes.

msc545 · Answer

I think men who are single such as myself get treated quite poorly by women who are single for the most part. Women's standards are completely and utterly divorced from reality.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes... by low lives who have love, relationship and sex as top priority and ultimate aim in life

Sasha0426 · Answer

ThatRandomOne · Answer

who cares? if you're happy being single. It's fine and don't listen to anyone. Better single than married to a psychopath or being surrounded by assholes and idiots, any day.

CoolCatMar1 · Answer

Hmm let me think that's a tough one... What does class have anything to do with relationship status?
