I am of the impression that single sites are the domain of the lower to middle classes. Somehow I just can't picture a wealthy CS'er, although the rich have as many relationship failures as everyone else. If I'm right, then why would that be ?

Middle class in my reference is up to $98,000 a year. Any thoughts ?

Oh yes, I agree. Having money allows more time for expensive diversions, while us working class people are stuck with the internet all the time!rolling on the floor laughing

I think most people here seem to be solidly middle class, which is a good thing, in my opinion. grin thumbs up

Not so in my experience of knowing some wealthy but lonely people.

Actually having a life doesn't necessarily guarantee having someone be a part of that life.

Interesting question, and I would venture to guess that you are quite right. Why is this, you ask?
I honestly don't know (probably too tired to think at the moment)...let me ask my butler or my chauffeur for their thoughts and have one of them reply to you soon.
Really, I guess it just has to do with lifestyle. Wealthy people have more avenues for social interaction and don't have to be as concerned with the cost of those avenues. It's probably fairly easy to find companionship when your yacht pulls into port in Cannes; not quite as easy when your feet carry you into the grocery store. Dunno.

I think you're right.

The very wealthy have easier access to everything, money talks and can buy 'love'.

They also have their own 'means tested' sites don't they?

Have your publicist cal my publicist. It's all relative, the wealthy hang out with their class, and there's just as many rich idiots as poor idiots.

Talking about the rich; there's a TV show about the wealthiest people in Europe and the US. Oddly, they all seem to do the same things, buy 4 or 5 expensive cars, houses, boats, and then boast that they never have the time to enjoy them.

Because they are too busy surviving to go schmoosing. (To quote someone else's word)

So what limited time one has after dealing with work and family we throw into the net. We discover a whole wide world at our fingertips and cost for most is minimal. The voices we read can be complex or simple but they fill the void we would love to have filled more personally.

The voices here sometimes make more sense than the voices in my head. Only sometimes though.
