The poll, which was conducted by dating website AshleyMadison.com, discovered 67% of working class women described an upper class man as their 'dream date' if they were to embark on an affair.
Only 40.7% of middle class women on the site would like an affair with an upper class man, with 53.6% specifically preferring to stick to the middle class.
When it comes to male members of the site, 83.1% of the middle classes say they want to cheat with a working class woman, 51.8% of upper class men are looking for a middle class woman and 42.4% of upper class men want a working class woman for an affair.
AshleyMadison.com founder, Noel Biderman, said: "This is a reflection of economic hard times as much as confirmation of traditional class stereotypes.
"The working class has been hit harder by the recession than any other sector of society. For women who are struggling financially – such as healthcare workers like many of our members – a fling with an upper class man represents glamour and escape, a holiday from daily life, perhaps an element of security.
"Middle class women are more likely to be financially independent and better educated, their needs are different. They want intimacy and shared experience with an equal rather than to be swept off their feet, Jane Austen style.
"Despite the changing socio-economic landscape men across the board still want to be the Alpha partner in a relationship. Men want someone to admire and look up to them, someone they can impress because fundamentally most men lack confidence."
