Your family's financial status to dating a certain girl

[stanlovesJ]

Ok so let's say theres a girl at school that i like , but she is richer (parents have more money) than my family and she is sort of a preppy , fashion girl. Well let's say i bring her over to my house and she sees our cars. If her parents have more than mine , is that like a turn off to her? Were not poor we have a house that is about 10 years old , live in a decent area, but i have always been bothered by this.

You're dating the wrong kind of girl if she could be turned off by something like that...

I agree with the above poster, if she is turned off by that then she isn't a good girl anyway. So go ahead and invite her over, you can pretend it's her rite of passage.

If things like these bother you, then you should date someone from your own "class".... frankly, I don't think she is even going to take a moment processing how "different" you guys are unless you make a point to make it obvious that you are so painfully aware of it.

 

Anyway, am I correct to assume that it would bother you if you meet a girl whose family has less than yours? It seems that these things matter greatly to you.

This would be an issue for only the most superficial of girls. If you meet a girl and bring her to your family home, and she's put off by your family's financial status, she is definitely not worth any more of your time.

To some extent I'm 'upper-middle' class right now, and moving even more up as time goes on. And I'm not turned off when I date women who have less than my family at all. BUT I do get turned off by the girl herself if she has a 'victim' mentality and believes that she has less than others because 'the man' is keeping her down (or some other excuse as to why it's not her fault). But that is a personality thing, and not innately a status thing.
