Would you have a problem going out with someone who was from a poorer background than you?
So if you was from a rich or middle class background and someone from a lower class or poorer background was interested in you, would their background be an issue for you?
State your gender as well.
Thanks JayJ, I like your answer.
Some good other answers here too :)

No - if she was a good woman and had class - an undefinable thing that you can find anywhere in any one, I would have no problem at all.
Footnote:- Those who discuss class have none.. it is not open to discussion.... (am I a snob?).
Gender:- (escalading orchestral choir of angels and blaring trumpets on a triumphal scale)... MAN!
ADDS:- Oh, sorry! I'm from what should have been a privileged background - but my parents were both the Black Sheep of their respective families and basically drank it all and all of us into poverty and serious neglect. I guess that qualifies as a poor background.
Poor is as poor does, my old ma always said.... and she should know.... she could also pontificate on good motherhood, since she knew by heart all the mistakes to make....

Anyone who had a problem with this would not be worth dating. ♫The ♂Gräpplër♪ Goes Doggy puts it best. Although he didn't really try too hard with the storyline this time.
Incidentally, meeting royalty does not indicate some astronomical high class or anything, although I'm sure we're all really impressed by Sanscorpus meeting Princess Anne. There are frequent garden parties at Buck Pal in the summer where the Queen invites former and serving soldiers/ military personnel, people who've worked in prisons, people who've adopted and fostered children, teachers, so on and so on. and it isn't a comment on their bank balances or their background.

Most certainly not! I'm female (obviously). Yeah it would not bother me one bit. To be honest I think part of it's because I'm not from the richest background either, but if someone were poorer than me or even living on the streets I would definitely still be with them if I cared about them. 100%.

I'm female. No, it would not be an issue. An individuals personality and actions are more important than how they grew up. Some of the best people I've ever met have come from the poorest and roughest neighborhoods. Just because a person is not "middle class" or "high class" does not mean that they don't have a better personality or character!

I grew up basically as low down the social class line as it gets for Britain. I would have no problem dating any social class. I have dated upper class men to men from the same sort of background as me. When I moved away from home I got the chance to date a man closely related to the royal family. Like me he has Aspergers and I met him at a place for people with AS and we went on one date. He was pretty rich but I wasn't feeling it so I ended things. The man I ended up settling down with is from a very working class background.

I wouldn't even consider it, if I was having fun and got on with them. My husband is from a 'working class background' and I grew up in a 'middle class family'. My parents were the same, and so were his.

No. They've had interesting life experiences, and have learned how to overcome difficulties and many things that I'm clueless about. They still managed to do well, or at least maintain their dignity for all that they had, or didn't have.

Nope, you can't help who you fall for. People can always work their way up anyway. Just because their background might be working class, they can always work their way up. Female.
