But thanks in large part to the Internet leveling the playing field, people have more opportunity to meet and hook up with those from different walks of life. That said, we often have very ridiculous standards and lists. I am just wondering how many other men think like this?

It would be highly unlikely that a college educated professional could be attracted to a high school drop out who worked at Burger King, unless that person had a killer resistance ethic and the drive to improve themself. I think any sort of combination dating blue collar man possibilities. For most men, physical appearance, intelligence within reasonand personal wealth are going to come second to the feeling of being loved by someone we can respect or love. You won't be met as a physical threat so you're good there. I have dated attys, psychotherapists, business people,but the smell of sawdust. There are enduring, rational reasons why my guy's blue - collar job makes him.

Dating a man who makes less money or hasn't attained as high a level of. I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can make anything work out if both people are willing to try.

White-collar Women With Blue-collar Men - When she first met his parents, for instance, she was a little surprised when she had to sleep on the couch for the stay and his family ordered pizza for dinner.

Divorced him before we were married for four years because of the way he treated me. Nothing I did or said was ever good enough for him, and he couldn't decide whether he wanted a Stepford Wife or a super-high-earner - neither of which I would be. While we were married I earned my master's, with his encouragement and support. He was extremely intelligent and self-educated and he treated me with utmost love and respect. What a guy does is not important to me, as long as he does it well and is proud of his work. This is usually more of a problem for the man than for the woman. That experience lasted 20 years, and it was a constant battle for security. From the mouth of babes, that must have been painful for him to hear. And me, where the hell was my head at…that it took my children to let me know, that I made the wrong choice. She was living in, though, and was used to a more upscale neighborhood north of Atlanta. It was a very white collar, upper-middle to upper class, soccer mom and CEO sort of area, and, for whatever reason, she loved it there. I grew up in a small, rural town in GA. We ended up having more than our share of discussions about our differences and, in the end, we didn't work out. Truth be told, it tore me to pieces. Some days I still feel the effects of it. Still, I know it wouldn't work out. I couldn't understand her way of living and she refused to try to understand mine. I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can make anything work out if both people are willing to try. Also realize that it can go the other way around, too. Let's not assume that only women are golddiggers. My ex was a teacher. We got along well. The biggest difference between us, was that I had sooooo much less stress. When my work day is done, my time is my own. I don't have to devote a single thought to the work day, and what will happen tomorrow. She on the other hand, would be planning, marking, stressing all night. All my friends say I'm easy going, in fact it drives a few of them crazy, as I'll set off for a weekend in the city, and have absoultely no plan. Where I'm going to stay, what I'm going to do. I just take it as it comes and let the day play out in whatever way it chooses to. Us blue collars aren't really a bad thing. I know some of my friends get a bit envious of the fact that I have a three day weekend, EVERY weekend! That being said, I don't know if I'd be able to roll with a millionaire or anything. I just wouldn't have the funds to live the lifestyle, unless they are down with me being a stay at home spouse. I can cook, clean, and look pretty! I don't choose men to be involved with based on their educational background, job, wallet or social status. I choose men based on how well we get along with each other. I like down to earth, thinking men who are more interested in substance than image. This works one way only. It has something to do with money but I'm not sure what. I was thinking of how to talk about this and what came to mind was paper dolls or Barbie and Ken. Typically, generally, for purposes of discussion, using the paper doll analogy, a woman will start with a man who has no value of his own and then add things to him. She dresses him in clothes that make the man, and adds accessories like a car, a house, a job, social status, and the more the better. It is the trappings and not the man that matter. The man sees her differently. He sees her standing there naked and anything else that gets added is extraneous. It's not about nudity as a sexual stimulant, it's about the fact that he wants her, for herself. Then he wants to get along with her, and it's what else that is added that can get in the way of that, and mostly her judging him by the accessories is what gets in the way. The paper doll man is nothing. The man who finds a dolled up woman is interested in her heart, not her outfits, her job, her status but herself as his companion. She could be rich or poor as far as he is concerned. To her, wealth and status determine his appeal. He is valued not as a man but by how well he competes with other men to win, collect wealth, hold power, and so on. Men and women tend to talk about men wanting sex and women wanting money, as made famous by prostitution, but what does that symbolize? The man wants to be with the woman, while the woman wants what she gets that comes from the man, and to get it she has to let her be with him. I have certainly met men who are interested in me for my supposed status, position, and, of course, the cash that goes with it. They are clear in their actions and sometimes in their words regarding what attracts them in addition to my cleavage, lol. And I've had relationships with men technically of a similar or higher socially assigned status. I'm wondering what replaces the typical. What would a woman want a man for if he was just himself? The ease with which women can attract, approach, engage men seems obvious to me, and so I explain why they don't as being a case of not wanting men. The not-settling, the holding out for better, the trading up, the restless dissatisfaction and the predictable disappointments seem to be about the failure of a man to emerge preeminent among men. I'm sure it happens that companionship is most important sometimes, but that it is rarely the case seems to be the rule. A few weeks later I found out that it was the fact that she was such a snobby, dishonest, rude b! Same thing happened when I used to date a doctor. I did however just meet a girl who makes about twice as much as me, and I don't know what to expect but she's one of the most down to earth people I've ever met. My closest friend makes five times more money than I do, and he'll probably be doubling his salary sometime in the next year. In the past month, I've rejected advances from two women who were both wealthy, but quite rude. Some folks are rude, and some folks are cool. All that said, nobody who has money wants to purchase a problem, so your spending habits probably will always come into the conversation. I'm far from rich, very blue collar until this back-to-school thing pays off, but I wouldn't date a poor woman who lives way above her means. I did however just meet a girl who makes about twice as much as me, and I don't know what to expect but she's one of the most down to earth people I've ever met. We want to be treated as equals, we don't want to be patronized, talked down to, marginalized, ridiculed... This doesn't mean we won't wash your socks and cook your favorite dinner... And we hope that works both ways. That's not to say you try to conform to what everyone says at all -- but you learn what's good and what's bad. White collar women will date a blue collar guy -- I've seen it. Other one was the gal wasn't that great looking but great personality, and the guy was better looking than her as some pointed out. But in both scenarios, you could see how the pieces fit, though. I would say though, that all other things being equal, no, you're not really going to see the high-class white collar gal go out with a guy in the local pub wearing his blue-collard work shirt with his name written on it playing pool. Other than that, it's a rare rare thing. The men in my family I really admire, like my dad and grandfathers were working class with a strong intellectual bent. Dinner-time talk after a hard day's work revolved around philosophy, politics and theology. My current bf is a truck driver with a college education, and he's perfect for me. All of the intellect; none of the pretentiousness. Maybe it's because of how I was raised, but I seem to value brains and a work ethic over money to a very great extent! All that stuff made a difference back in the 70s, when plumbers earned less than accountants and solicitors. A lots of the guys who went to community college send their kids to Ivy League schools, and a lot of the Ivy Leaguers can't get a job, or have a really poor-paying one, and their kids would be LUCKY to get to get to community college. If someone is hung up on THAT, they really ought to get with the 00s, 'cause things have CHANGED.
