Is it normal that i don't wanna date this guy because...

There's this guy who's so cute and I kind of like him but I don't cause he's poor and he's from downtown and i'm from uptow. Plus my parents would never approve of me dating a guy like him! But its not this what makes me dislike him its just he's not like my normal friends and he even has to work to earn money and it makes me ew... but it sucks cuz maybe we could have a nice relationship. help please?

    There are only two possibilities here:

    1. You're a troll.
    2. You're a spoiled bitch (whose parents also suck BTW).

    Which is it?

          To make a more serious note you are a complete bitch. You are a snob and probably never had to lift a finger in your life. I hope one day you lose all your money and when you are spit on begging for cash in the street you will wonder "Maybe I was kind of a bitch to this guy". You are a snob. Maybe he was not born into a rich family like you.

          No it is code for she only knows rich people. Who hood as in the rich nationhood. So he is just a low worthless peasant in other words. She wants a guy with money and cash. She does not want a poor little janitor fellow who actually works for what he has. She wants someone who has been raised with money who whole life. She is a bitchy snob and only cares what things look like. Barbie girl Syndrome. They have certien community or housing areas in which they only have big rich houses. I kind of assuming this is what she means.

    It could work, you may still be able to have a nice relationship. If you don't want him cause he has to work for a living then tell him to quit his job and come live off you. If you live off your parents (who worked for their money..ew) then keep him a secret and you can both live off them from what they give to you. That is of course only if you really do want to try and have a nice relationship.

    I can't know the details of where she is coming from but there are young people who must work to help put bread on the family table which is different than say for savings and spending money. There is nothing wrong with work of course you are right. But the reason he has to work is what I think she finds difficult not that he is working.

        "Ew" sounds very childish.

        You're the one who is engaging in class warfare.

        Nobody respects someone who has not worked for what they have and has an attitude about folks that have less.

        Maybe you're a good person but you've come off as a spoiled princess here in my opinion.

        You are being real snobby but I will not hold it against you. Have you tried to get a couple of dates with some kings and princes of some countries? Sounds like marrying into royalty is your last hope. I am not confident that you will be eligible to marry into royalty since they will look upon you the same as you do to that guy.

  • Rock_in_Aus

    Okay we'll speaking from personal experience I'm 18 and I started working at the age of 15, my dad works and earns a fair bit of money but i wanted to work for my own money to know i earned it and I was recently seeing a girl whose parents both worked and she could have easily lived off them as well as the money she made from the modelling that she was doing but she actually went out and got a job so she didn't have to live off her parents and knew she was earning her money. What I really liked about her apart from her awesome personality was the fact that she was hardworking and actually wanted to know that she what she had was well deserved due to hardwork.
    I believe you can make it work but you just have to realise that this guy is doing what every adult does and working for a living and become comfortable with that fact.

        Yes since making fun of a person who works and saying "Something must be wrong with them" is not bothering people who are less fortunate. You are being a snobby bitch. You are apparently not ever going to understand this unless you lose all your cash and end up poor. I really do hope you end up poor and when you are down here with the rest of us we can laugh and point. We could say "Look at the little poor girl Ew! She has to work to eat"!

              If you are living under a bridge why are you acting like such a snob? That is a lie. It is apparent from what you saying that you must be well off. Since you think it is normal to look down upon people willing to work for what they have. So why would you look down on him if you do live under a bridge? I mean what are you doing in that case? Are you begging from the rich families? If that is the case it makes it that much worse. It means you are poor and lazy and still a snob. Wow you really are a piece of work.

            Not everyone gets to live an easy life. Personally I think it's admirable he's working to support his family like that.

            I guess I just see things pretty differently now that I'm getting older... I'm in college now and I *wish* I could find a decent job, I still partially rely on my parents support and I'd much rather them not have to do so much for me, most people I know have their own jobs and make their own money and I feel like I'm falling behind.

            Kinda derped on that, I read your age up there and read through the comments and guess I forgot you guys are still minors.

            I dunno, I wouldn't reject someone based on how wealthy they were unless they just weren't pulling their weight in society at all and became more of a burden than anything else.

    its really normal that you think this way.. i know that because i dated one guy like that from my college... i was all "so wat he works and is not like my fren circle" n yea he was a very nice guy. we two were really hitting it..but the money matter does come out as a difference
    i was more than happy to pay for our movie dates and everything.. he was also really nice.. would never let me pay alone.. :)
    but things are different when one of you grow up with most things, and the other does not. what you take for granted are things he may have to work hard to get. if that turns you off.. well, who can blame you. only you know what you want. dont listen to these ppl..they're jealous coz you got the $$$$ :P

    You are aware and thinking of class issues and disparities like being poor because they are there even if they are not pretty. Other posters may not like that but too bad. Nor did you create them. You are just being honest. The question is what you will do.

    The answer is maybe nothing other than use this as an opportunity to deepen your awareness. You are not a bad person because you are advantaged whereas he is not. And you are not unwise to sense that the relationship could be difficult and make you the target of disapproval (as you mention) and resentment (from his side &amp; him).

    PS you got a low IIN score - I also said it isn't normal but that is for social reasons outside your control, not because of you.

    • And yeah that score is kinda low :/ I actually think people are not saying all the truth. I mean, it's not that easy to date somebody who's that different to you.

        Oh relax. You're being honest. You just happen to be well off. That's no crime.

      Wise words. Accept the lady did say she feels ew because he works. Other than the lady has valid concerns.

      To the lady, this is not dissimilar inter-racial and relationships of different religions. There will always be disapproving self righteous judgements.

      The answer is simple, if you love him, date him. If you like him but not seriously, you can always be fuck buddies without commitment.

      • It's just, I do like him but IT's really hard for me to be able to like him enough without.. doubts... It's just... this means i will suggest going to the cinema and he'll be like "no i cant, gotta work" or we won't be travelling or he won't gift me something super cute for my xmas :| god i know it's so fake from me and this shows i'm a cunt but idk i still think of this. it confuses me. and it sucks

    What's sad is that the poll creator will likely just chalk up all these posts pointing out what a horribly stuck-up, snobby, spoiled, bratty bitch she is as just "haters hating because they're jealous" rather than a sign that there is something seriously wrong with her way of thinking. The reason people think you were trolling is because your post is pretty much the embodiment of every spoiled rich girl stereotype condensed into one paragraph. The fact that people honestly thought you were trolling is indicative of just how over-the-top your pretentiousness is.

  • Wow....yeah no sweetie don't worry. In fact, don't even think on this one because here's the answer: he doesn't deserve a stuck up, snobby, rich, to good for other people bitch like you. I mean really? I work for a living as does most people of the freaking world. Sorry we aren't all "rich and mighty' like you and your parents. My mother grew up with rich parents too. Wanna know what she did? Dated a "low class" citizen, flipped her parents off, and left with him. To this day, they are happily married and making a good living. If you can't see past his living and how he lives or not care what your parents will think of him, then move on and find a rich dude that will gladly serve you, because this guy obviously deserves better.

    What is your gage for normal? Normal people do work for their money. Interesting that your friends don't have to...

    • Well, my normality is that at 17/18/19 people do not work. I'm sorry if you all had to get a job at 18, but I'm not used to it.

    It would be fine to date him. Social status cannot be your defining guide for people around you - he might be great, he might be scum. From what you say about him, he seems nice enough. It's okay to be defensive to a point, but be open and try it out.
