Should I not date working class guys?

I think perhaps a better idea when you start dating is to hide anything that suggests that you have considerable wealth.

You just dated guys whose friends and family are jerks, jerks come from all classes as can be clearly seen from a cursory perusal of TSR.

You need better taste in men, of all classes.

I'm a girl, and don't have really rich parents but am "middle class" I would say. I do have some working class friends of both genders but not many because I haven't met many.

I'm not classist and have dated guys of all backgrounds, however for the working class guys I've dated (maybe just the ones I've met?) I have really not gotten on with them. They have often resented me for having a good, well paid job (I'm in my 20s) even though I don't like to bring up my career or nag them to take me on fancy dates or anything, I'm pretty feminine in a relationship.

I also have found it hard to socialise with their families and friends. I often get rude remarks about my background from a guy's family, people have been very gossipy. Like I said I do have working class friends but I guess they're all from uni - a lot of the time when I've dated a guy from a certain background, he's shared details of what we've done with his guy friends who literally seem to have nothing better to do than talk about it all day? Fortunately I haven't slept with any of them but there's no respect whatsoever for women.

I know lots of other guys do this too but it seems pretty pathetic TBH. I can roll with the punches too but they seem to like jokingly calling their female friends "bitches," "hoes" etc. which I find off putting, not the sort of guy I want to bring home to Mum. I have been labelled "stuck up" by the best friend of one of the working class guys I've dated because I had been working overtime and was tired and was going to go home and sleep, and politely told all of them I couldn't join them at the pub which is something they do every day anyway. The guy doesn't even have a proper job (he's a "model" so maybe he just didn't understand? I was coming down to the kitchen and heard him whining about how "she can't be tired!"

Like I said I'm not classist but I always find it really hard to make things work with guys from a certain background. Am I better off not dating them?

By working class do you mean someone who works menial jobs or someone born to a family who works menial jobs?

Your problem is assh*les, not "working class guys." There are all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds, I wouldn't discriminate against a group of people because of the actions of a few. Of course, you can date whomever you want - if you don't seem to get along with those people, then spend time with just middle-class guys. This would, however, make you a classist. Plus, you might miss out on some wonderful, wonderful people if you limit who you date and socialize with.

What about troll threads?

Honestly, I don't have considerable wealth

I have got what would be considered a "middle class job," though, I guess, and a Southern accent which people point out immediately (I'm living up North for about 6 months). But I don't act snobbishly, if I did I wouldn't be dating those guys to begin with

I was raised working class and I think most other working class people are knobheads, but some aren't so you shouldn't completely dismiss them if they're sound

This isnt meant to sound offensive but how about instead of worrying about the class, worry about the person?

Not every working class person is like that. Judge the person, not where they come from

Why do you think that?

TBF I do have working class friends (of both genders..). It's just whenever I have dated a working class guy, he seems OK at first but then turns out to be a knob.

I would imagine the real issue here is that, contrary to what you're saying, you are stuck up and do look down on people for being working class and less well off than you.

The very fact you're considering not dating working class people highlights that you do view yourself as above them, and other things you've written such as 'he's not even got a proper job' I would guess comes across when you're with your 'working class boyfriend' and friends.

Working class people that grew up poor and stay poor as an adult are knobs because they feel like they've been hard done by compared to the middle class and working class people that go on to have a middle class career feel they've had to work harder than the middle class generally so in both cases they tend to grow up with resentment towards the middle class

Yes, I wouldn't say this is true all of the time (my working class friends) but it's definitely true for the guys I've dated unfortunately. It's not that I am looking down on them for their class, but their background seems to have made them dislike people who seem "middle class" which makes it tough for me to date them

No, it doesn't. See my response to silverbolt above.

I don't look down on people for "not having proper jobs," half the toffs I know from uni are now off "volunteering in Africa" lol. But it explains why he seemed to resent me for being tired from working long hours.
