I mean, I have heard of people who have different type of education, background. I don't mean the money as most people here think. I know money means nothing, but I have two degrees and he did not even go to highschool......how to deal with it? I know that love is not only one bed and four walls, but more than that.

If the person is strong in the things that make a good person (honest, faithful, true, good person, gentle, kind, loving, intelligent, friendly) then social class might not matter so much to you. You know you'll have a hard time defending your choice to the other snobs, though. Are you ready to face that? Are you ready to hear the cuts and snubs they'll deliver about him to you? It'll test your character. Finally, if you two really love each other, that's the key issue, and class doesn't make any difference. Make the relationship work and you'll teach a lesson to everybody involved. But it'll be tough, don't kid yourself. Make sure you're ready and your partner is too. If you are, go ahead and shake up your snobby friends, ha ha. Good luck!

I know that if I was a real princess that I wouldn't be able to do that, but I don't really care if they're "lower class" than me. Just as long as they can pay for some stuff I'm happy, cuz I gotz no money But I totally don't care... He could be poor and I would still love him the same Watch "Moulin Rouge!" and you'll see what I mean

my answer most likely would be unpopular because of the "love will transcend all boundaries" thinking.
this is not my personal opinion however according to my family life teacher. if one is thinking of a long term relationship one should consider education, family background and culture, even the social concept of "standing" in order to facilitate better understanding between the couple and the couples family.
however this is a general rule, and there are lots of exceptions of people in different "standings in life" that end up happy together i commend them for this.
personally i would date someone to see if it would work. if i am the one in the "lower" social standing then i would strive to match hers or at least try to do so thru hard work and perseverance. if she is the one in the "lower" social standing then as long as i can see that she is trying to give effort to improve and not be dependent then its ok.
according to my teacher they said that the problem with different educational backgrounds, etc. is that at times that there are problems it will create further tension because of difference in experience and understanding.
e.g. a person who is "street smart" would apply the lessons he /she learned in real life. a purely academic person would apply theories that he/she has learned, that would almost always be logical. however the street smart person doesn't always think logically since life's problem cannot always be solved logically.

If you are talking about social class structure, that's something I wouldn't even notice or pay attention to. If you are talking class in terms of money, yes, it does play a part for me to a degree. I don't care if a man makes less money than me. If he can support himself on his own without being a mooch or living off someone else's generocity, I would date them. I wouldn't date someone who expects to get a free ride and be taken care of.

If you have even thought of a "social class" difference, then I think already that he is too good for you. People are people, what has social class got to do with it? If he makes you happy, then go for it, regardless of race, religion, "social class" whatever. He will probably be the best thing that will ever happen to you but you will be too worried about class to see what you have. Wake up.

YEs I would because to me all socila classes are just that words. If you are so low as to think about people been in a lower class, well maybe that's why some guys/ girls won't go out with them. But I would as long as they would enjoy the days tot eh fullest and enjoy my company.

It's not a matter of class that is important, but if you both have similar values and if you have respect for each other. No one has any control over what family or class they were born in. My advise, though, is to be realistic and don't sell yourself short.

Yea. If I truly had feelings for this person and if I felt that this person and I could really function in a relationship. Also if I thought it was worth it and this person had most if not all the qualities I was looking for.

Money doesn’t matter, but it does depends how low. I mean I wouldn’t go out with a guy who lives out on the streets.
