There was a member here who had trouble with being out of work and didn't know where he would get money for his groceries from. Trust me he wasn't picky, and it's an insult to even utter the words poor and picky for those who truly are in need.

sadly we judge the poor more then the rich.

I hope this member is ok now.

I'm just talking about food. My experiences tell me poor people are not only picky at what they eat, they are proud of the fact that they are picky at what they eat.

And contrary to popular belief, affluent people will eat just about anything that's edible.

It's actually quite annoying. I'm not picky myself. If it's edible, I will eat it. My friends who are affluent will eat just about anything like me. But the guys/girls who work dead end jobs are the pickiest eaters I've ever seen in my life.

Why is that? If they are poor, shouldn't it be the case that they should accept anything that comes their way? Why are they so picky if I'm usually the one who picks up the bill?

What are you on about?! Did you have a nightmare you cannot explain?

I think your friends were just scared they'd be obligated to return the favor and take you out somewhere.

 

[zoltanspawn]

Rich people's pickiness is often regarded merely as 'good taste'.

There's little fault attributed to the wealthy being discerning.

But along with their other deprivations, the poor must give up the pleasure of being choosy or face rebuke.

 

[figjam]

Then you deserve a break today...

That looks disgusting... Look at those "chips" and those unnaturally coloured sesame seeds...

 

[bankside]

Yes, poverty can be a culture as well as an amount of money. Not fond of it either way.

nah I think they are thinking that he's a twat and a someone who use used to be a friend and he invited me out to a nice dinner but he kept looking at what I was ordering.

hopefully his "poor" friends know that he is not a friend.

You guys should answer his questions rather than attack the Poster.

If a question contains a logical fallacy then it doesn't deserve to be answered. especially when it has offensive implications

I apologize to those I've offended in this thread. I meant no disrespect to the less fortunate.

Perhaps my observations are flawed by confirmation bias. I'm not discounting that.

That's very good of you to admit. I'm guessing you meant why are broke people so picky. That can still get you in trouble, but you don't have to be poor to be broke.

[bankside]

To be fair, I've been broke before and I've been dirt poor as well. And at no time have I said ALL poor people are picky. What I said was from my observations over the years (that's probably tainted by confirmation bias), poor people tend to be pickier than the more affluent.

Of course there are exceptions. My "girlfriend" grew up in a very well off house hold. She won't even touch indian food with a 10 foot pole. Only recently after started dating an indian guy did she start forcing herself to eat indian food.

In other words, I do realize that if my observations were true, it would still not apply to everyone.

Some people here have offered great insights. For example, my ex. Probably the pickiest person I know. Always broke all the time. He would get upset when I take us out for anything other than McDonalds. No, I'm not exaggerating. It took me a long time to figure this out. He would always get upset after we dined out. Never told me why. Turned out McDonalds was the only thing he liked.

I can see how what I'm saying would get myself in trouble because of the politically incorrect nature of it. But I've never been a politically correct kind of guy anyway.

In my experience, wealthy people are on average more open to new experiences than poor people. If you're wealthy and you go out for dinner, you can have something out of the ordinary because if you don't like it, there's always dinner tomorrow at a different restaurant. If you're poor, you don't have the same margin for error. One dinner out and that blows through your restaurant budget for the next six months. The next year?

That is true of things other than food as well. When you can get what you want, and when you can afford to change your mind as often as you like, it is a powerful lesson in the value of variety and change. Look up "satisficing" to explain the behaviour of poorer people.

 

[gvillager]

We've occasionally taken these friends to places that we wouldn't think are too "out there" - like a Middle Eastern restaurant - and found them out of their depth. They not only don't know the food or "how to order", they seem very uncomfortable having to ask or being forced to try something they've never tried before.

Did they end up liking the food?

I only ask because I've been in this very same situation a few times. I admit that I'm not an adventurous eater but I'll still occasionally try new things. I can understand how it could be perceived that I was uncomfortable, but the reality was I just hated the experience and couldn't wait to leave. I just didn't want to hurt their feelings after they spent so much time trying to talk the place up.
