I've noticed how some men are blaming rich men for not being able to get a date. It's not any rich man's fault. Maybe you just don't appeal to a woman ANYWAY. Don't you think being classist just makes you look as ugly as a racist, or a fascist? Ever thought about that? What's any rich man ever done to you anyway? I think a man who works hard, is very admirable and is only trying to get by like anyone else. At least he isn't being lazy. If one of those hard-working men, started slating not-so-well-off people, you'd be just as angry at them right back. When you had children, did you not want them to get good grades or what? It stinks of hypocrite. You want your children to do well at school, or have them all corrupt. It can't be both. Smh.

Understand you're irritated, but please don't draw conclusions that aren't right: Being rich / wealthy doesn't mean you work hard. Being poor doesn't mean your lazy.
There can be a gazillion of reasons why someone isn't that well off.

As for rich ppl getting dates more easily, that could be the case, cos dating, going places where you can possibly meet people, usually costs money. So it's a lot easier if you can afford to go to clubs, pubs, restaurants, sports clubs etc.
So you have to be somewhat more inventive if you want to meet people, thus having the opportunity to meet people, when you haven't got that much to spend.
Dating usually means restaurants, pubs, drinks etc. so when you always got a part of the month left over after your money has gone, this could be a tad difficult.

Furthermore, when you have money to spend, you usually feel happier, more confident etc. which also helps to meet new people.

Telling someone off with little to spend for being lazy is not particularly nice nor respectful.
I got very little to spend myself, and that has nothing whatsoever to do with me being lazy!

Social class imposition means you're more about cosmetics and lifestyle selection than you are about who you care to be associated with in terms of demonstrable moral character.

It's a social statement, not a personal statement. Even when being made by a person, even if they're emotional about it.

An example of a pretentiously dating woman would be where she has a badboy thing until she learns they can rarely accord an idealistic lifestyle, at which point she casts her rod at men in positions of power or relative wealth, typically characterising male personalities by terms relating to behavioural pathology and not moral character (eg. "I like a man who opens doors for me" when a rapist will happily open a door for someone he later intends to rape, etc.).

Basically you need to actually try to force yourself to be an intelligent version of you to be a civilised human and that takes effort, but people are intellectually lazy...

The way I figure it is this:

If a woman goes after a man because of his money, and the man knows it and dates her, then they deserve each other.

A man and a hot babe walk into a jewelry store. Standing over the mans shoulder, the babe points to various diamonds under the counter. The owner of the shop approaches them and asks 'May I help you?'. The man in replies 'Why yes, I'd like to buy my loving girlfriend here your best diamond broach.' Hearing this the babe with a twinkle in her eye smiles.
The owner pulls sets the broach out and the man cuts a check for it promising to pick up the broach after the check has cleared after the weekend.
Completely satisfied, the owner puts the check in the till and the broach in the safe.
Comes Monday and the owner of the shop finds out that the check didn't clear. Around 2:00 the man comes in the shop without the babe on his hip. The owner says 'Hey! You're check didn't clear with the Bank!'
The man replies, 'Yeah I know, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But can you just imagine the weekend I had? ' .

I'll be charitable to you here and read you as saying that it's not about having stacks of cash but what sort of person that you are. Nevertheless, it's still you looking down your nose at people that you don't really care for and don't consider to be on your social level.

Granted, there's such a thing as inverted snobbery and it's always going to be like that because people in general stick to their own little cliques and exclude anyone that doesn't fit in.
