Dating Via suburbs - does lower class suburbs turn you away? (38)
Hey Lok , Every town has its Ghetto areas it depends on how you keep your place I would date a man from a ghetto but not if his enviroment was a ghretto ie three foot high lawn , rubbish everywher e etc I say this because as I drive thru east Nowra I cringe , keep all the windows up & the door locked If I eva have to park there I always arm my vehicle. so If you live where my car might get knocked off or i might get stabbed comin ova for a dvd & a bottle of red I may hesitate.

Hey Lok.... interesting meeting you on here...
I think its the person that counts, not really interested in where people live. Unless my car is about to get stolen, then I like to know the address, handy when ringing the cops.
I live in an industrial area too, and I suppose where I am is bogan central or so other people tell me.
I've never really noticed and its not something I've really thought about. Although I always think people who have little or no furniture are a bit of a worry, rather than where they choose to reside.

I would have to give them the benefit of the doubt first but i would be extremely cautious if it was scumsville!
Hey Lok i have to agree with the rest of the girlz on this, its not the suburb you live in its the person you are that counts...but like Kiz and a couple of others have stated if you have to man the car and get out of it holding a Tazer well then i would think twice about a visit, but it still has nothing to do with you as a person, have a look at the other suburbs...they all have some negative points, and if a woman judges you by where you live well thats pretty shallow and you can do better 
Lok_Simpson: Was listening to the radio the other day at work , there was a poll showing that the suburb i live in has a population of which 65% is single males , compared to other suburbs ( I live Western suburbs of brisbane - Industrial suburbs ).
Its considered a lower class area , due to the cheapness of it , and the fact its fairly close to a prison.
Does someones suburbial position turn you away? like, if its a slummy area it would deter you from dating people from that area?
Im curious to know peoples positions on this , as even though i live in a slummy area , i was bought up in a country town , and live here as its an excellent area to get work in ( in saying that , i AM working , have a company car and earn quite an exceptional salary compared to other workers in the same area ).Cheers

if there is gunshot at night or you did have to use a tazer to get into your car, or it had a backyard dunny,it may not be the place she wants to live but you could just spend more time at her place, no need to bar you.and if she does then she isnt really worth keepin mate, there are plenty of girls out there that can accept you for you, providing you keep your place respectable, if she aint in it cause of the area she aint the one. dont be discouraged, there are some good ones.pauljb72: hey lok. if a girl bars you cause of your suburb, you would consider that materialistic yes, i agree with phae hi phae if there is gunshot at night or you did have to use a tazer to get into your car, or it had a backyard dunny,it may not be the place she wants to live but you could just spend more time at her place, no need to bar you.and if she does then she isnt really worth keepin mate, there are plenty of girls out there that can accept you for you, providing you keep your place respectable, if she aint in it cause of the area she aint the one. dont be discouraged, there are some good ones.

i live in adelaide so there's no hope for me lol
and the suburb i live in is not the wealthiest, by a long stretch , borders an up and coming area, (adelaide is like that a lot, older poorer suburbs adjacent to newer flasher areas)
i have minimal furniture, enough beds, enough lounge suites and enough tables and chairs for myself and my son, the only two people that live here. but we both work and both enjoy being out riding whenever possible so i dont see the point in having every nook and cranny of the house choked up with furniture etc. we live our lives out in the world and come home for a bit of tv a bit of internet and a bit of sleep
Only someone shallow as a pool of rat piss would make geography the deciding factor before getting to know the person.
Hey Lok Got nothing new to add to what the others have said, although perhaps I am one of the shallow ones here ??? I was looking at buying a rural place down here but the only access was a road directly past the local indigenous community, who have a habit of 'rocking' the vehicles as you drive past.
Decided that having four kids growing up and getting a license, having to drive past the camp regularly might be pushing the rural dream a little too far.
Industrial area........I could live with
Indigenous area............mmmmmmmmmmmm

Hmm let's just check the criteria list - mmm nope decent, affluent area is not on mine although decent, affectionate human is.. There are a lot of silly little things that we think others will be judgemental of or will put them off but the reality is if it turns them off then that's their problem and you're better off not having them in your life.. Although having come from a 'hood' area myself can't really cast the first stone.. I really don't think where you live is an issue as long as you're happy there (both you and your partner and family), you feel safe and comfortable and having great friends in the area and being close to great amenities and work is also a bonus!!
Lok.... I lived in your suburb years ago and was harrassed and called names by my some of the people who lived around me and I HATED living there. BUT there were some descent people as well and a couple of my friends lived there. I have dated a guy many years ago who lived there. So, no, it doesn't matter where someone lives, it's who the person is
Having recently met someone from this site.... the only factor that comes into it about where he lives......
is.....
distance.....
It is so difficult to try and see someone who is a five hour drive away......
So we clock up the phone calls.....
And text and message......
Does it matter where he lives..... yes..... but not because of the suburb...... just the distance...

)as long as they are what i am looking for and is a good person i dont care. but as long as they arent a product of their environment. ie someone who is really derro and bogan doesnt do it for me unfortunately. lol

ohhh now don't be shy, come out and say how you really feel 
I agree, it is not where they live with me, but how they live.
meaning if they are a lazy slob, not a chance in hell.
Finally, an interesting thread :-)
For me - if you look like you come from a down and out area, that puts me off. Internet dating has taught me that class is a factor in who I find attractive and who I will get on with - both above and below where I am in the pecking order.

I know it sounds snobby, but I think most people would find the same thing, if not be able to recognise it in themselves.
It just happens that dating sites bring these things out in the open, along with 'how tall is too tall' and that kind of stuff - on sites where you have to pick a cut off point.

blondeaozichick: ..... but IF your talking about.. not even giving anyone a chance if they dont live in an upper class area for example then I think you are narrowing down your options .. (unless of course you looked like Johhny Depp.. then you could afford to be choosey.. hope I'm making my point )
No, not what I was saying at all. I do sometimes make those judgements based on photo's, or what they sound like on the phone, or a meeting. So it's more their behaviour and appearance, than where they live.
and I did say someone could be too posh for me as well as to rough. I'm not into ballet or opera - or drag races and the footy :-)
