If the guy is cultured, has travelled significantly, dresses well is ambitious and generally fun to be with, I don't care if he isn't from the same social class as me. Guys that are tacky, unhygenic and really cheap (i.e. couldn't fork out for a few drinks) are a turn-off. It's more how one presents themselves. Even if a guy wasn't that rich but was well dressed, well groomed and intelligent, I would date him. Ambition matters. But it would make things easier if he wasn't poor i.e. he could afford holidays, nice places to go out to/eat etc. I would understand if he couldn't do it all the time, but sometimes would be nice.

I think some competitively posh people think that at the very least you must go to private school to be 'middle class'. To me though, private school, virtually any one=posh.

This is a huge misconception. The majority of the parents sending their kids to private schools can only just afford to do so, and often will not take any holidays or buy new things to compensate.

Of course you do get private schools with fees so high that you would have to be posh/loaded to go, but most aren't like that.

Lol in my relationship, its actually my boyfriend who's the privately-educated, has-a-large-inheritance posh one.

I come from a single- parent benefits family and we were homeless at one point, so the divide is pretty obvious.

I go out with a posh girl atm, been with her for 2 years as well. I live on a council estate and she lives in a big detached house in the countryside...

I've had a boyfriend who was working class. The gap between us wasn't really about our accents or our families.
I wouldn't go out with a chav, I think.

It's not posh, it's just what someone is like if they aren't a chav...

The insecurity of the psedo posh is annoying. Anyone so desperate to cement a social status is missing out on life.

This. Same goes for race/religion etc.

Then they are a bit silly aren't they? They probably just can't be happy wt what they are.

Some may have that attitude but others may feel it's the only way for their children to have a chance in this competitive world.

Heh, I think it's because they want the best for their kids. Which would make them happier than spending the money on other things.

Im farily posh...and honestly no I wouldn't...it's not an arrogant thing it's just you want someone similar to you in background, values, education, culture etc

can i just ask why though? whats wrong with mixing with a different class i dont really get it.

Im middle class but when i meet a girl what would matter would be whether I found her physically attractive and whether we got on well with each other. I'd never rule someone out because of their class or background.

Posh girls, would you go for a guy who wasn't posh?
