"Do you care about someone's status, job, car etc? Do you think those things impress people? I've had various messages from guys who think I must care (I will take you to Michelin starred restaurants etc). And so many guys on dating sites write their profiles drawing attention to status. Do you care? " There are a few on here who openly love telling everyone about their processions and all that. Obviously must believe some people care. Each to their own | |||

"Not really. As long as someone is well presented and respectful I couldn’t care less about their job, class or social standing." And do people try and impress you much? | |||

"I couldn't care less, and think it's pretty tacky to use anything like that to impress anyone. Could be because I don't have wealth or status, but that's beside the point!" It's not for me, but clearly it works for some people thus my question. | |||

" I've yet to see anyone bragging about it personally. Sure, I've seen a few profiles ensuring there's a picture of their decadent lifestyles but openly using to try and persuade? To be honest, I think in these days, reverse snobbery is more prevalent, with affluent people being made to feel rather uncomfortable about their success." It’s more in messages to be fair and it does happen quite a lot. I do agree with your last paragraph though. | |||

"Not for sexual encounters. I don't feel I am less of a person if I feel attracted to a man who rents one tiny room in a house, and works as a security guard. If I like them I'll have sex with them. If someone wanted more than sex I'd rather not go to higher end restaurants as I like to chill and have a laugh with men. " Actually the mention of high end restaurants and fancy clubs makes me nervous - it's not a turn on at all. | |||

"For sex and swinging, no, not at all. Offering to take me to nice restaurants and posh hotels on here is pointless. I also don’t tend to get into conversation enough to even find out. For dating and real life- yes. I like certain & finer things and want to be with someone who appreciates the same. I’m a career gal and made sacrifices for it. Someone who understands those and has done the same is probably better on my wavelength. That being said, you can’t help who you fall for huh. X" This for me too! I don’t need a guy to pay for me but he needs a level of income that means he can do things with me, nice holidays, good restaurants etc! | |||

"It makes me uncomfortable and I'm more impresses by the personality and attributes than I am about status....I don't want to know about your lifestyle and what you can offer... who are you? And what makes you tick? People seem genuinely baffled when I say that." I agree it’s boring. When I’ve met couples and MR is trying so hard to impress me taking about finance and property, and who cares? mrs is rolling her eyes thinking here he goes again….. It can a barrier sometimes with single women for going on holidays etc but hopefully by that time you e come to an understanding based on trust | |||

"Do you care about someone's status, job, car etc? Do you think those things impress people? I've had various messages from guys who think I must care (I will take you to Michelin starred restaurants etc). And so many guys on dating sites write their profiles drawing attention to status. Do you care? I think it’s important that someone is at a similar stage to you in life. Would you date someone who was unemployed, couldn’t drive and had no desire to work? There’s a really good Dave Chappell sketch that a showed an extremely rich female friend of mine on this topic. YouTube is your friend. " You're not talking about the same thing though? Being unemployed and having no desire to work isn't comparable to not having a terrific income. I don't. I do drive. If men want to not date me because I'm a single mum who doesn't earn loads - that's fine with me. | |||

" I had a chat with a guy about this - prompted my thread really. He said women on dating sites were often looking for guys with a good income. He was in his 50s. That could be because they want someone to rely upon, or to share the finer things, or they're avoiding cock lodgers! I find it interesting and aware that it challenges me because I find status/class difficult to engage with, I guess. | |||

He percieves this seemingly as a transaction... to be fair what he wants is available due to the saturation provided by 'content creators'... and less nuanced gold diggers theres a evident market. The fact hes looking here suggest to me that on some level hes perhaps seeking something emotional. Just using the wrong tools to find it... Maybe direct him to only fans | |||

Do you care? " No, I don't care. Struggle to see how wealth and 'status' comes up on a site like this to be honest (certainly hasn't with anyone I've chatted to). Rabbit hole discussion on how we're measuring status too! Jobs are a weird one: if I'm getting to know someone well, I'm likely to ask at some point, but only as I'm interested and not as some kind of sift! I'm likely to be "impressed" as they'll have skills I don't, or do something I am interested in/admire/know is tough. But I think there's something 'impressive' in most people's jobs, to be honest. | |||
