Middle class men: do you prefer a long term relationship middle class or working class women & why?

[Anonymous]

I’m just curious. I’d love to hear from those with experience too ☺️.

What has been your experience with both?

Or

What drives your preference?

[molonski2]

Certainly in these times never get involved " down " you just can't risk it , they come with attitude , keep things at least on the same level or preferential upper class , you can't go around thinking you can " save " people , as they always return to their low socio economic attitude.

[Asker]

Isn’t that a bit harsh? I know there is a lot of bad attitudes in the working class but I think there’s equally the same amount in middle class. It just depends on the person/people on my experience. Some working class are far kinder and salt of the earth types, while some middle class show more care in their children than working class etc. I’m not sure it’s that clear cut. I find more pretence and poseurs in middle class on the flip side of the coin.

[Asker]

Foo ok r me it’s more about drive and ambition. Class doesn’t matter to me, it’s more about how you’ll work as a team to build the best life together possible.

*For me

[Asker]

So you’d marry more for resources than love…

[molonski2]

Yes 100% , its about attitude , the poor will return to their core - ALWAYS.

Here lately it seems like working class women are more in tune with what they bring to the table and less entitled. A lot more agreeable most of the time and just easier to get along with. Maybe it's just been the string I've had. Very interested in what others say.

[Asker]

Are you classed as middle class or working class?

[BoopBoopBeep]

I googled it. According to a report by USA Today, the income needed to be considered middle class in my state ranges from $21,672 to $124,668 for a household.

That range is so wide I would consider it a useless statistic. Good job USAToday.

That said, I make more than that.

[Asker]

We’re you raised in a middle class background or did you come from working class?

[BoopBoopBeep]

My mom's pay as she rose up the ranks did too, so both, probably? What makes an upbringing middle class vs working class? Are still just taking about household income? In which case yeah, both definitely. Never made it to upper middle class until adulthood, which I'd really be surprised if I'm not in now, but there were plenty of "wish sandwiches" growing up.

[Asker]

I just have a theory that if you’ve grown up one and moved into another you find it easier to relate to both, whereas someone who’s only known one may prefer the familiarity of what they know.

[BoopBoopBeep]

That may apply then. I certainly make more than my mom ever did.

As a member of the Thinking Class I refuse to accept a ''class society'' and its outdated ''values''.

Therefore, I'm middle class and am not at the same time.

Which qualifies me to give an answer:

As long as my girl has similar goals in life to those that I have myself, I give a fuck to what non-class she belongs.

[Asker]

So what goals align you with someone?

[andreasderjuengere]

Me personally:
Non-consumerism
Non-conformity
An interest and critical opinion about things around
Environment conscious, but not in a fanatic way
An interest in being creative
Can live longer than 30 minutes without a handphone
(just a selection of more)

honestly career women are a turn off because you guessed it their entire life is aimed at their career, so you need a woman who doesn't have a life to make a life, she'd would have the time to give

[Asker]

I don’t think that’s true, plenty of women in professional managerial roles have families too…

[OddBeMe]

Their present or future jobs don’t matter. Their ambition and education matters. That’s why I don’t get dating 20 years younger…

[Asker]

That’s how I feel with men too, only because their mindset would match mine and I feel like we’d work better together in a team. I could be wrong, but they are my current thoughts on it. Saying that, a career driven woman could also benefit from a stay at home dad if they’re both happy to have the roles reversed.

[Asker]

By stay at home dad I mean he could also have a job once they’re nursery age, but maybe more of a working class job that allows him more hours with the kids, eg carpenter etc.

[OddBeMe]

Sure, habitats of many families are arranged for what suits them best. We need to stop thinking in “tradwife” bs. But traditions are hard to kill.

[Snakeyes7]

Men don't care what staus a woman is or at least it doesn't affect the attraction.

[Asker]

Even for marriage…not just dating.

[Snakeyes7]

Correct
