Living on the "wrong side of the tracks" can cost you your relationship, according to a new survey, which found 66 percent of women and 56 percent of men would break it off if they found out their date lived in a "rough" neighborhood.

And BTW: "too far away" can sometimes mean in the same damn town. More than 30 minutes of dating commute time just wasn't worth it for many "kings and queens of convenience," survey co-author and the site's brand editor Emily McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza tells The Post.
顺便说一句,有时候即便住在同一个小镇上也会被认为“距离太远了”。调查报告的合著者、该网站的品牌编辑艾米丽·麦克雷-瑞兹-埃斯帕扎向《华盛顿邮报》透露,对于许多“超怕麻烦的人”来说,为了约会要在来回路上花30多分钟是不值得的。
