Does income/economic class influence who you date?

There will no doubt be comments from people telling you what a shallow douche you are but the fact is it's very normal to date those with similar status. It's not common for people to marry outside of their socioeconomic class. What I find a little odd is your deliberate avoidance of dating someone in a lower class. I think it's not typical to date outside your class simply due to a cultural separation. Someone who hangs out at the country club pool sipping Daiquiris isn't going to associate, intentionally or not, with someone chugging malt liquor out of a paper bag by the dollar store. Likewise, financial advisors don't find love behind the register at Wendy's. The vast majority of people don't make a decision, consciously anyway, not to date someone making less money than they do. So, while not dating outside your class is normal your intentional avoidance is not.
