I posted this topic b/c someone told me that a certain person wasn't good enough for me, that I deserved better and that he didn't want to see this person drag me down.

Not good enough how? What it comes down to is morals.....you have to have the same morals. You dont have to like the same things exactly.

Is this the garbage man vs. the lawyer debate?

Well motivation is another factor. Do you want to be with someone who has no or little motivation compared to you?

I don't believe in judging one on how much money they make or where they live...etc I judge on personality and if we click well then we click!! I was raised different and I have very high morals and family values and I was raised to see the inner beauty of a person v/s thier outer or thier wallet...As long as they have something going for them and they have goals then I am very good with that...I struggle like the best of them but I stand on my own two feet and I support a son I do what it takes to be independant and handle my own and if someone doesn't like it then well they can just f*@k off cus I could care less what someone thinks of me...I don't want a man to take care of me nor do I want to take care of a man, but we can take care of eachother...

I too have high morals and family values but Ive changed a few things.......for the best!!! I.e. Love should be shown to your children and verbalized.

I can't be with someone that has very little motivation to move forward in life. But a better question is .....hhhmmmmm.....

I will be seeking the highest degree a PhD and the other person only wants job skills such as a trade school education... would that constitute someone not being good enough?

I slept at the paris hilton. But I still think she's got a flat ass. After she said the phrase "That's Hot" for the hundredth time I shoved her thong in her mouth, wiped off on her gucci dress and made my way to the hotel bar for a refreshing cordial. A bombay blue martini removes the taste of paris hilton from my mouth.

Are you planning on marrying this guy??? Its a hard call but Ive seen it in couples before...

At the same time are you being a social snob by not going out with this person because of his financial status?

If I eat pineapple and beans I can fart hawaiian music.

no, i have plans to meet this person. however a guy friend stated that he thinks that he isn't good enough for me, that i deserve better.

I am far from being a social snob, I come from a low socioeconomic background and have worked very hard to get where I am. I will be the only person from my immediate family to graduate from college and will probably be the only person is my extended family from achieving a PhD.

So, I guess the next question is, the person that made the comment to me.... jealous or concerned?
