I think people subconsciously and ideally want to be with someone of a similar social status as them or higher. The elder generations were kind of hell-bent on it. I see the newer generations ignore it but pick back up on it as they get older. Where do y'all stand?

social status in what way, like similar jobs? similar neighborhoods (which sort of relates to jobs). I'm finding that as I get older it's harder to hang out with people with really different values than I have, whereas in my late teens and early 20s all i cared about was how much fun i'd have

I never really cared for social status ... more so the person and their own goals and standards and if they align with mine. But working in ritzy towns I can see how this is a major factor.
Honestly though , those who want to put in the effort to be great regardless of their status should not be overlooked

In theory yes. But some social status like education, career, finances fluctuate. So choosing or eliminating someone on the basis of their bank account is short sided.
But similarities such as culture, religion, etc may be important to many.

I think in the united states we're still fortunate that for the most part we're all middle class more, or less...so social status isnt that big a deal. Though I've met some who've tried to create their own social status as though they grew up knowing different types of vintage _______ (fill in the blank with wines, foods, etc), these are folks i actively try to avoid, to their chagrin

I don’t care for social status as much as I want someone self-made who is on the same level as me financially and is financially responsible. I don’t want his debts and vice versa.
I don’t care how much schooling they did as that doesn’t make you smart. I do want someone who is aware, informed and knowledgeable and that doesn’t equal to schooling.

Well in theory I don’t care, in practice different social status doesn’t work too great. It doesn’t have to be that way.. I just don’t want to have to take care of them. Can you be a real partner please?
