  Oh come on, you were doing really well with your questions being interesting and novel and now you’re back to asking nonsense that you’ve asked and had answered a billion times before.

  Yes. Because they can.

  Yes. And some smart people date stupid people. Some people even date people on the opposite end of the political spectrum. I wouldn’t date someone with opposing political beliefs but some people do it

  They do. I’m currently a “poor person” (I make 65k a year) dating a rich person (who makes 200k+ a year). And yes, he makes it obvious that he makes that much. It’s a struggle sometimes.

    If 65k is poor, I need to reassess my opinion of myself as lower middle class.

  There are attractive qualities besides money like personality, kindness etc. So it happens sometimes.

    It seems obvious to you and me that human qualities other than wealth come into play in a relationship.

    But OP’s question is valid, because he’s asking about a generally psychopathic group of people dating regular human beings, and psychopaths don’t feel anything for anyone, and always do something with an angle. And that angle usually is making more money, which they can’t do if they date poor people. Hence the question.

  It happened to me one time, but she and her family were not really typical wealthy people. She was making 80 K a year, and her mother has something like 35 million, but her mother thought it was a huge victory to find eggs on clearance for $.80 instead of $1.50. So they didn’t really see themselves as rich, except for things like knowing if someone messed with them, they could sue them into oblivion.

  My girlfriend was set to inherit 10 million and had plenty of money. I got tired of her acting like she was totally stressed out about $400 when that sort of money was never going to make any difference to her, especially since her career trajectory was likely to result in her making about 200 K within the next few years. I was making about 30,000 as an artist after coming back from a health problem where I was making zero, and I was less stressed about money than she was. So, we could’ve had a relationship where I enjoyed some sort of unusual luxuries that I could never afford myself, but they were so frugal that we didn’t. And being frugal had absolutely nothing to do with how they got their money. I think it was just a hold over from before her mom struck it lucky, from back when they were poor. But anyway, to her credit, my girlfriend never acted like they were better than me or like I was poor or as if I was with her because she was wealthy.

  I am lower middle class and my girlfriend is disabled and indigent. Our relationship is unbalanced and will probably never be financially fair, but there is just something special about her that keeps me coming back, and she rocks my world in the sack.

  Compared to my able bodied millionaire ex wife, she is a significant upgrade. Poor and irresistible beats rich and malicious every time.
