Class Does Exist, Especially In Relationships.
Some people in this country would have you believe that we are all economically equal, or even though they make 40,000 or more than you that they are as more or average as you therefore class does not exist...

Classes may not be outwardly expressed, but on a deeper level are at the base of everyone decisions. Mental classes, monetary classes, physiological classes, and the most useless, social classes. Everyone can be made even, but not until people realized that no one is above anyone else.

Why not, i mean but they still soar at different altitudes, and if that is the case, where they land will be in different places, higher brances and such, should or would an eagle settle in
a mulberry bush because a peacock can't fly.

Socioeconomic status (SES), typically defined by income, education, and occupation, substantially affects many situations in life, even in a country such as America where social status is not destined by birth and classes are primarily labelled in terms of middle class ("lower middle class;" "upper middle class;" "upper, upper middle class").
The three dominant factors in interpersonal attraction are physical attractiveness, proximity, and similarity, with the first two influencing the initiation of a relationship and the last more important in the long run.
Proximity is determined to a large extent by SES, and the various classes share not only similar social ranks and economic backgrounds, but numerous cultural customs. The occasional appearance of a duck among the pigeons does not refute the general tendency for birds of a feather to flock together.
I had hoped that specifically noting that a general tendency does not include all instances would have forestalled the argument that because Sara wears a size 10 shoe, the average woman's shoe size is not a size 8.

 True birds of feather do 'tend' to flock together but there are more variables then just the standard economic backgrounds that society has influenced upon us. You can have someone poor or wealthy, black or white, democrat or republican connect on emotional levels that no one can ever achieve..... SES does not have to ruin an otherwise joyous union. The devil is in the details. Don't get caught up in what society dictates because you may miss out on your soulmate.

Class isn't just a dollar amount....it is a mindset as well. Money is the root of all evil so to get caught up in that warped sense of 'class dictates relationships' is counter productive. Is the man making 40 or more or the woman. I bet if the man does it is ok....a couple can have everything in common and connect deeply even if they come from different backgrounds. How old are you???

 But is money the root to all evil when you sit down and negotiate your salary
on a new job? Or perhaps when you negotiate, all of the sudden you become the "Devils advocate"? Do you say "oh no, don't give me that much, I want to be equal in my relationship?"
