You know what? I have to say that out of all the men I have dated over the last 8 years that the ones that have stood out have been not been "educated" as society would see it.They have treated me with so much more respect driving around in their beat up cars compared to the "educated" well off males with their mercedes convertibles I have dated.
For the record I am tertiary educated and do not rule a man out just because of what he has or does not have in material terms.
I once dated a guy who was so hung up on his status in life He said he was scared that women would use him because of what he had in life. What a joke!He was so shallow..loved throwing his money around,treating waiters with disrespect and watching people ogle his merc yet was scared of women liking him for the wrong reasons.

This topic raising discrimination on race, lifestyle, appearance, age, career, education and etc.

I am Asian but successful in my career and very independent, I socialise every level of profession and lifestyle have no problem any issue to arise concerning myself and others.

This is going to come right out of left field because I think it's a stupid subject. However, I have a mission to complete tonight, and that's to add a blog to each topic (ok, I know I should get out more) so here goes.
I don't think I know any bogans, but then I don't actually pigeonhole people according to their clothing, or their hairstyle or any other triviality. However, I do know of people who don't wear black clothes, or sport a mullet, but who are bigoted, narrowminded and judgemental. What label should be put on them do you think?

Posted by: TishB at June 23, 2007 8:05 PM

Oh Gwion, I'm holding my sides from laughing, you've just covered 3/4ths of Australia!!!!

I'm not sure about this whole "bogan" thing - and take offence at the kiwi and sheep thing further up the list here.....I met a guy from RSVP who was a yuppie bogan I'm sure, just swap the 3/4 acre for a "weekender in Rose Bay" (I'm from Brisbane..not even sure if that was meant to impress me), a red Merc sports that at 5'10 in flat shoes, I'd never have gotten my legs into, and the yacht that sailed up the Sunshine Coast. He had it "all", and my only question was "well how come if you are such a good catch - you're still single?". I'm thinking a mullet and some ug boots might have been preferable at that stage - at least they'd not have been so up themselves!!!

I'm not sure that we need to slot people into categories...some might like the mullet (not me though), and "abrisman" that is some seriously good artwork you have on your arm (and a nice smile I might add too), but tattoos are not to everyone's liking (I don't mind them myself), Asian people, Italians, Pacific Islanders and yes, us Kiwis, are all slotted into groups/catgories at some stage, but we need the intestinal fortitude to overlook that garbage and just be proud of who we are - there is someone out there for us all (now where the heck is that one I'm looking for???)

HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ... ha .. ha..

This is the funniest thing i have seen in quite some time! I can't figure out if people are trying to seem tolerant and accepting of lesser classes or if they are offended because they are desperately attempting to hide the bogan with in!??!

Tigalili, if you are so appreciative of the diversity that the bogan offers our culture, why did you spend 7 years trying to spend it out of your ex-husband!?!

Personally, bogan is niether a socio-economic class or a lifestyle choice regarding clothing, prefered beverage and freeness of bodily functions. Boganism is, and shall ever remain, a sub-culture difined by either it's ability to ignor changes in concepts of social justice, environmental responsibility or advances in cultural diversity, or by it's inability to accept those changes. Those of you who say you "were" a bogan are fooling yourself. Either you once dressed like a bogan, or you are still a bogan. Chances are, there is a bogan lurking just below the surface of your being. Once infected by the bogan, very few fully recover. Bogans may or may not wear flanni shirts, they may or may not wear cheap flat soled running shoes of some description. They may or may not be able to spell but they definitely have a very rudimentary grasp on the english language. However, here are a few tips to know if you have the bogan gene...

Do you:
a/ say "should of"
b/ think the only choice in drink is beer or bourbon
c/ own a V8, wish you owned a V8, once owned a V8 or owned a V6 that was a Torana S-pak
d/ had said V8 or Torana S-pac lowered, blown, head shaved, crank shaved, removed or altered sections of exhaust or performed any other noise & or 'power' enhancing alteration to said vehicle
e/ think mullets are ok
f/ shorten your friends' names to Dazza, Shazza, Wazza, Blackers or PigDog
g/ think that Pauline Hanson had some reasonable ideas
h/ think Australia should be at war
i/ think Australia is predominantly an Anglo/Judeo/Christian country despite the fact that those groups are probably the least representative of the current population demographic
j/ think Four'n'Twenty make good pies
k/ think sport comprises of Footy, Cricket, V8Supercars and Netball for girls
l/ think all other sports are for poofs or latte sippers (by the way, you are allowed to know what a latte is only in so far as it contains coffee... if you know how to make one you are on the road to recovery?
m/ use terms like 'poof' or 'latte sipper'
n/ think the only conclusion to Saturday night is bedding a girl called Shaz/Kaz or getting into a fight with a guy called Waz/PigDog
o/ think that Wazza/Davo is a 'good bloke' even though he has just got out of prison for racially motivated assault and has just punched a 'jungle bunny' in the face
p/ own mockies
q/ go water skiing every summer

If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, chances are you are a bogan! There is no hiding from it. You may as well face the fact, move into a 3 bedroom brick vaneer house on a 1/4 acre block in Frankston with Shaza and be done with it!!!!

Posted by: Gwion at June 19, 2007 7:07 PM

I agree Abrisman - it's great to open our eyes to diverse views. No need for insults. Let's respect and celebrate our differences and keep on smiling!

Posted by: Riversong1 at June 17, 2007 4:38 PM

I have a mate who will only date a girl if she answers to "Shaz" or "Shazza."

Saves having to remember her name when he's had too many VBs.

And he won't take her out unless she changes into dakkies, (fluoro or lime or yellow), and check flannie top, with mandatory ugg or imitation Korean ugg (now available at all major supa market stores) boots.

Must be able to hang out of his Commie when dragging the main street of Ippie and yell at other Commies "Up youse wankers" and sing verbatim Khe Sanh, Working Class Man or AC/DC

And best of all.

He boasts about never, ever, having to go on to an internet dating site looking for sheilas.

He reckons he has an endless supply of them.

Lord save me.

I had a mullet 18 years ago. Does that make me a bogan?

Anyway, people are people are people and classifying any person is just so stupid!

Posted by: Kevin1963 at June 14, 2007 12:15 PM

cookbrekkyfor2, my description of a Bogan was not me having a go at the "Bogan" I grew up in the 80's when Boganism was rife...hell I was a bogan myself even had a "mullett" (about 25 years ago), some of my closest friends now are bogans, and I love em to bits and hang out with them frequently, and we have a heap of fun. Whilst I hung up my flannelette shirt skin tight Faberge's and black Dunlops (no moccasins here in WA) quite a few years back, I have no issues with those who haven't, each to their own, my point was that after reading these entries, alot of people were referring the the Bogan as a Race, its not, its a preference of lifestyle, clothing etc...and as for the Bogans being a lower class of people....I don't think so at all.

Posted by: Tigalili at June 13, 2007 10:28 PM

a better topic. Maybe. But i personally think this topic gp not too bad for one reason. Look at all the different social classes writing in. I like to find out what other people think( FOR THE MOST PART) and if this discussion leads to people maybe seeing things just a little bit different. Then i'd say its worth it. Though i think anyone with hurtful comments should maybe think about keeping it to themselves. Well. Thats my 2 cents. No problem with the so called bogan. Keep smiling people.

Posted by: abrisman at June 13, 2007 12:11 PM

Is this the best rsvp can do...? Arn't there any other topics to discuss?

Posted by: jack thompson at June 12, 2007 9:44 PM

I'm ashamed to say that I think us Australians have lost that sense of humour we've been famous for.

Does every single topic have to illicit moans about racism, snobbery and discrimination?

And for all those people going on about snobbery ... what about reverse snobbery?

I live in Mosman. Haven't always lived there, but everytime someone asks me where I live, they always have to say (in their very best poshest voice, of course), "Oh, Mozzzman."

And then they assume I only want to meet rich men with harbour views and expensive cars.

Posted by: Me (not my RSVP name) at June 12, 2007 4:41 PM

Bogans=a beer drinking, farting, mullet wearing, loud, fast car driving, head banging, type of guy/girl..(theres about as much truth in that as..........

Kiwi= all of the above plus that added bonus of doing nasty things to sheep......)

none of which is true. Each to their own.

Having been involved with all sorts of people in all walks of live, this i know to be true, I have met some really educated people, with really nice suits and high paid jobs who are just as BOGAN in their outlook as the beer drinking, farting, mullet wearing, loud, fast car driving, head banging, type of guy/girl,...(and i know a couple) that are members of mensa....

Who cares i dont i would like a partner that fits..(not has fits), and let the suit wearing farting beer drinking bogans do as they chose...............

Posted by: cookbrekkyfor2 at June 12, 2007 1:53 PM

Oh the bogans! One worse could be the CUBS oh how I have experienced the Cashed Up Bogans.
Really cant we think of something a little better?

Posted by: amaronered at June 12, 2007 1:07 PM

i'm not a bogan. I've got more me a bikie look. And i get judge alot. But thats life. No matter what i say. People will think what they want. Though it is hard to find a descent date. Well. Enjoy your discussion. Go the bogan

Posted by: abrisman at June 11, 2007 9:36 PM

Indeed Riversong1 indeed.

Posted by: The Lipstick princess at June 11, 2007 8:22 PM

Boganvillias? Yes, I have some in the front garden - just between the roses everyone comes to smell!

Why I taught my Kimmy from a young age not to wear her mockkies when she goes out (she wears those trendy ugs now) and she always uses spell cheque whenever she rights anything :)

My advice to you all (from one foxy lady who has found her true love):

- Dust off your sense of humour - you know the one you all talk about on your profiles?

- Be kind to your neighbours - what pings out PONGS back, you know (law of korma).

- And be patient - it wouldn't be Sunday roast if you could have it evey day, would it now?

Now some people like apples, some like kiwi fruit or lychees. It would be a boring world with just canned fruit salad!

There IS someone out there for everyone, so smile and enjoy ;)

The wonderful thing about Aussie (bogan?) humour, is that we can lighten up and laugh at ourselves!

Posted by: Riversong1 at June 11, 2007 4:07 PM

'Bogan' (to me) isnt defined by how a person dresses, what he drinks, hairstyle, type of car, wind-breaking (hahaha, thanks for that tigelili it made me laugh) ...

Bogan is how a person talks. I had a rsvp date not that long ago with a highly educated very well off professional who had the right (tho somewhat boring) clothes, drove the flash car, owned the super nice house, and even stated very condescendingly he didnt spend as much time or energy on clients who were from "insert name of typical bogan suburb here".

HUGE turnoff, hugely hypocritical (sp?) as he could not string a sentence together without using what I would call Boganisms. I wont list them here as Im sure it would offend people.

As tigalilli says, you cannot take bogansville out of the boy, and nor should you try...and those people who are label concious, brand driven snobs should take a pretty good look at themselves. Or not, my date wth my 'bogan in snobs clothing' was highly amusing..for me.

Posted by: BeachMouse at June 11, 2007 3:54 PM

Come now, prejudice is never cool. Why pick on the lower socio economic classes when postcode snobs are so much more fun to goad? Just because your postcode is desirable and expensive doesn't mean you are :-D

Posted by: lolitaesque at June 11, 2007 12:05 PM

Rubens43, I totally agree with all you have said. It was exactly what I was thinking as I read through this topic. Well said!
I ,personally, know many posh bogans and many very poor ladies and gentlemen.
What also came to mind in my reading was that great Four n Twenty ad with the guys in the car eating pies and looking into the restaurant and saying, "They don't know what they're missing."
Unfortunately they don't.
I loved that ad.

I think this is a great blog subject. It is making us think about our attitudes, concepts, stereotypes and preconceived ideas of people. It is very uncomfortable and confronting, but necessary at times.

Don't shy away, think and write!

Posted by: WishingandHoping at June 11, 2007 9:28 AM

Just so we're all clear, Bogan is not a Race, its a beer drinking, farting, mullet wearing, loud, fast car driving, head banging, type of guy/girl, and no, I have no problem with dating a guy who doesn't wear a suit, in fact give me a guy wearing work boots/shorts any time rowrrr! (just leave the mullet at home, please)

Posted by: Tigalili at June 10, 2007 7:30 PM

OMG I married a bogan!!!! We were married for 7 years. I cut off the Mullett, changed the black DBs for a pair of Rivers, bought him new jeans a size bigger (fitted the boy bits better) and a nicer shade of blue (no stonewash for me), nice wines instead of cans of Emu Export, added some Simply Red and a bit of mood music to the AC/DC & Black Sabbath CD collection. After we split all the nice new stuff I bought for him went, and the bogan was back in full swing at the age of 39....how sad! As the saying goes, you can take the boy out of bogansville.....but you can't take bogansville out of the boy.

Posted by: Tigalili at June 10, 2007 7:22 PM

Did you know almost every country has its own term?

In Australia, it's "bogans".
In England, "chavs".
In Scotland, "neds".
In Ireland, "knackers".

nb the welsh don't have a term since they don't need one.

I'm sure we can add other examples ;)

Is there a serious point? Sure - the notion of a working-class segment in society, with its own idioms, standards of dress and recreational preferences, of which the middle classes feel ashamed to associate with? It's universal.

Posted by: kk at June 10, 2007 5:09 PM

Bogans, schmogans. Undesirables will almost always remain undesirable to those that don't desire them in the first place.

Being a male that has been involved in sports for the most part of his life, I have come across all manner of men, and women, for that matter.

Regardless what they do for a living or how Mosmanite, Vauclusey or Blacktonite, they are, (if they don�t exist, those words should), it's their behaviour that denotes the type of person they are.

It matters not weather they pronounce 'important' as it should be or they say "imporant", (one of MY bugbears), it remains the fact that it is what they consider fun and acceptable that determines weather or not I think they�re worth dating.

The idea that a woman would date someone that thinks it fun to go out and get "pissed" is beyond me. How can someone whose aim for the weekend is to write himself off and them attempt to slobber all over a woman be considered attractive?

On the other hand, those that judge a prospective date by the apparent size of their bank balance fall into the same category as far as I am concerned. As do those that think it imperative that the opera must take precedent over a gathering of friends. Notwithstanding the fact that you only get �seen� at the opera

If bogans are those that work hard all week, get dirty doing it and relax with a beer at the weekend BBQ, have a few laughs with their mates and remain acceptably sober doing it, then I would proudly call myself a bogan.

I am not. I don�t do the BBQ thing these days, being single at my age means that I don't often fit at the social occasions my married friends hold.

However, what can be more relaxing that having a few friends around, listening to either ACDC or El Divo, partaking of either sushi and sake or a snag and a VB and discussing all that is important and/or fun to you all as a group of friends?

I think a lot of people these days live for the status symbols. That has evolved into ditching good people from their lives because they have the wrong job or bank balance and acquiring 'friends' that will help them appear upwardly mobile.

In the end, whilst whiling away the hours in the rocking chairs of their retirement homes, people that hold such shallow values will realise that not even their children, if they set aside time in their diaries to have them, will want them around because, hanging around old people is almost as bad for our social status as dating bogans.

This is really a bad blog subject huh? Well maybe I�ve made a bit better by putting a cat amongst the peacocks as they preen their pretty feathers. (By the way, I recommend a grain of salt if you�re going to attempt digesting any of this)

Posted by: rubens47 at June 10, 2007 4:00 PM

While this may not have anything to do with the topic, I feel compelled to comment on the amount of spelling mistakes when people write their comments. Hmmm...maybe it has something to do with the topic after all.

hey sydney realist...don't feel dat way dude..im half asian... :)

Heavenly and riversong..i like ur post ! :)

I agree 100% :)

Posted by: felicia88 at June 9, 2007 11:30 PM

So, if I said that I agreed with the blog and have written 'no bogans or ferals' in my profile, simply because I am not attracted to or interested in the average beer-swilling yobbo, does that make me a bad person or someone just getting things out of the way up front?

Posted by: notmyrsvpname at June 9, 2007 7:44 PM

I also find the term "bogan" insulting, but not for the usual reason.My mothers maiden name is Bogan, so anyone using the word in the context described in this blog gets absolutely no time from me.In fact, RSVP, I am requesting you remove this blog NOW.

Posted by: at June 9, 2007 5:58 PM

The topic is very Blunt!

however itis done way too much on here wether it is the "bogans" or many other things. As an RSVIP member I can see who has looked at my profile, it is amasing how many rejections come from members who haven't viewed your profile. It is sad that everyone is so busy thay can't even do that, let alone get out from behind the computer and say hello!

Posted by: JaguarCreative at June 9, 2007 5:31 PM

Re: Stereotypes: I used to feel really frustrated by the 'stereotype' out there, when it comes to people like myself, with a disability, and trying to 'fit in' to be just like other people my age, and date/form relationships etc...I used to think 'Im at such a disadvantage here, below other women, on this site, and women generally', when it came to men being attracted to me, or even looking at/talking to me, because of my wheelchair - but now I realise, basically everybody has something about them, that some others arent going to want to take a second look at, because of this...it may be their looks/size/shape, it may be their race, it may be their attitude to life/lifestyle, it may be their age, that it doesnt equate to what age group the other person is looking for...etc...

But, you know what...despite our looks, our shape, our attitude, our race, our age etc...there is someone out there, for each and every one of us...none of us are at a disadvantage, when it comes to this....its just a matter of when 'they' who are attracted to every part of you (even the parts you deem to be 'unattractive' about yourself), turn up, in your life.

So yeah, I agree with you, Riversong1..no-one is everyone elses 'ideal...but we are the 'ideal' for SOMEONE out there.

And as for what you said, Christopher_86..'I acknowledge that a lot of genuine, honest people out there are unfortunately getting over looked for who they truly are.' Yep, I 'feel' this, and experience this, myself, some just cant look past my chair...but you know what..thats OK, coz I want someone in my life who doesnt see the chair...not someone who backs away, because of it.

Good luck, all, with your searching for your special someone! :)

Posted by: MistyGurl at June 9, 2007 4:20 PM

Why is it necessary to bag out the working class and refer them/us as bogans? Excuse me cafe latte set, whoever decided on this topic doesn't have much of life outside of their own city. Typical sterotyped media nonsense. NEXT SUBJECT PLEASE.

Posted by: saltoftheearthgal at June 9, 2007 3:52 PM

Sydney Realist - You come across so Critical. Perhaps that is the subconcious message you are conveying.
I am a short arsed white chic, I am not offended the tall guys dont respond to my profile.
This site should be fun. If you no longer find it fun or it is making you doubt yourself or others, perhaps it is not for you.
I have dated an asian man for some time. distance broke us. and just for the record he was an amazing kisser and the best cook! i miss U!!!

Posted by: The Lipstick princess at June 9, 2007 2:14 PM

I also have to agree .. no racism here and also not fond of Stereotypes. Perhaps I should introduce 'Sydney Realist' to my sister .. she loves Asian Gents .. but I wouldnt wish my sister on anyone LOL especially not as I think she is racialist and fond of stereotyping LOL We all get a little jaded on here Realist .. That's life for the mature (or imature) singles !

Posted by: Naiad18 at June 9, 2007 12:50 PM

Hmmm maybe he has a Point here, the way I see it, by boycotting this debate shows to me you are not willing to have an open discussion about the topic, Yes get real real coarse we pick and choose or you wouldnt be here you would of been happy with the first person that sent you a wink. Think about it ??

Posted by: Stilllooking68 at June 9, 2007 10:25 AM

By the way Sydney Realist, I agree with Gypsy - no "race" specified on my profile; he would stand on his merit, same as everyone else.

If you read some of the other bloggs, maybe you'll see we're all in the same boat. For you it's because you're Asian, for the 5'5" guy it's because he's too short, for some it's because they can't spell ;), for me (blonde, blue-eyed) it's because I'm too old, for others, not wasted (oops.. I mean "slim") enough - the bottom line? None of us are the "ideal" everyone is looking for.

I bet no matter who was on here they would find it hard - Tom Cruise would not show up in women's searches (too short), we'd give Bruce Willis the flick (too old), and even Angie wouldn't get a look in (with 3 or is that 4? little kids!)

So bogans, asians, shorties, oldies, mummies... what the hell... what a wonderful world!

Posted by: Riversong1 at June 8, 2007 11:01 PM

This topic is icky and insulting on so many levels. I am boycotting it.

Posted by: Ninaschen at June 8, 2007 9:14 PM

There are a lot of things I loathe and the term 'bogans' is one of them. I believe you'd find 'bogans' are happy being 'bogans', but I don't think they'd like the title. On the broader topic of stereotypes and dating.

You are scanning through the pages of profiles to speed things up you make generalizations, call on your preconceived notations of what a person is like, you form these views based on your past experiences. More often than not though the person is similar to what you expected (that is the stereotype that you cast them as). The person is often similar to what you expected because; they themselves adhere to that stereotype to find a place in society, you label them that way because it is quicker and the person is made to fit the label or stereotype because your interpretations place them in that box. I know a lot of people probably read my profile or see my picture and run in the opposite direction (and probably rightly so, I probably wouldn't get on with them). Nevertheless, its life, the way the world works. Getting a job for instance, if you are an attractive, young women, you are more likely to get the job than a middle aged man going for the same position with the same qualifications. I don't have any advice, just observations.

In short, I think that stereotypes broadly can't be escaped, it's a fact of everyday life and people should try to harness it and or manage it. I acknowledge that a lot of genuine, honest people out there are unfortunately getting over looked for who they truly are. In some instances it is an advantage, at least those who are not considered more closely can find some comfort in the fact that the person that viewed their profile is quite shallow and is not worth their time anyway. While I've put my own thoughts on this issue on the blog, I don't claim to be an expert on the issue, far from it. I'm sure there is some much more experienced and informed individuals out there ready to give their opinions.

Nonetheless, I maintain that RSVP is an efficient way of meeting someone.

Posted by: Christopher_86 at June 8, 2007 8:57 PM

Why not make the blog topic "metrosexual dating ....would you go out with a guy who spends more on skincare products then you do?" or how about " blondes vs brunettes"..what about "silicone or real flesh"..or maybe "is your postcode damaging your dating?" Perhaps we could discuss "do you have a crap RSVP name"?.

Or maybe we could have a blog topic "stupid, inconsiderate and just plain offensive blog topics".

Posted by: Beachmouse at June 8, 2007 8:55 PM

To Sydney Realist

I think you are being overly sensitive. Surely you have heard and understood the term 'bogan'.

Although, yes, it is a criticism, it is certainly not a racist comment - if anything it is racist to Australian's (caucasion ones) not people born in Australia with another heritage.

Bogan, I think, is another along the lines of Ocker - which is Aussies having a go at other Aussies, and most regular Aussies can handle a bit of a joke.

There is nothing more appealing than someone with quiet self confidence, that doesn't feel that every derogatory remark is made against them.

I'm sure you're a spunk! Move on!

Posted by: heavenly at June 8, 2007 8:49 PM

I'm outta here - thumbs down for this one!

Posted by: Riversong1 at June 8, 2007 7:55 PM

Sydney Realist not everyone is like that, I have no criteria as to race on my profile. In fact my ex husband is asian and I have dated many different men from different cultures, races and religious backgrounds and I am a WASP!!! So keep the faith that eventually you will find the right woman.

By the way I don't think this is a very nice blog either but thought I would put in my two cents worth just to assure Sydney Realist that it is not all bad.

Posted by: gypsy (not my rsvp name) at June 8, 2007 7:44 PM

Think this topic shouldn't be on here, am by far no rascist, but can just picture some of the blogs that will be posted.

Be you blue, green, red or purple with indigo spots it's still a person in there.

@Sydney Realist if it's not working for you mate move on everyone has there princess / prince just a matter of finding them and seems your not going to find it on RSVP. good luck mate and remember theres only one you!

You wanted some honest truths about stereotypes and dating?? Forget bogans, this is part 'n parcel of wider entrenched dating prejudices and narrowmindedness.
(and if you think it's worth its own blog topic, go ahead and start one)
I'm referring to the hurtful and offensive race-based cultural dating preferences listed by many people on RSVP.
I've got my own axe to grind of course; I'm an attractive Asian male---which pretty much means I'm ranked just above misogynist Taliban blokes in terms of romantic appeal and dating desirability.
