Don't Date Down

Yeah, you know what I mean... dating down is a no-no.

Simple Scenario:

X dates Y
X is not rich, but smart as hell
Y is rich, but dumb as hell

X is thus the one dating down. Y is dating up (which is completely acceptable).
Anyone can make or loose money, thus Y is actually no better/richer than X.

So, get your priorities straight and look for someone that is on your intelligence level. If a social level is more important... then get someone on your level.
