It takes a lot of effort for people to form relationships across social classes, let alone romantic ones
I find this to be somewhat untrue among men. Granted I'm still sampling mostly from college-educated, but from underpaid gov jobs to lucky/unlucky cryptobros, to dynastic wealth all seem to get along with one another just fine. It's not that big of a deal when no one is flashy or a braggart like "influencers." Or maybe I'm off base and "male nerds with BS degrees or dropped out" is a wealth-agnostic social class of its own, especially with gaming having such a low barrier to entry that there's a social activity anyone can afford.
A romantic relationship is an entirely different thing because your finances likely get comingled. If someone can't manage their own money, why on Earth would you ever give them access to yours?

A romantic relationship is an entirely different thing because your finances likely get co-mingled. If someone can't manage their own money, why on Earth would you ever give them access to yours?
