Why do you care so much about seen as upper class?

[Anonymous]

What's the big deal? If you love your family, enjoy your job, get to take vacations now and then?

Why are people so obsessed with whether their body type seems upper class or if they have the right engagement ring etc?

Explain it to me please.

It's not everyone. I don't care about that stuff. I think the people who DO care are just loud about their caring, while the people like me don't feel the need to talk about not caring.

Oh, I'm just basing in on what I've been reading here on DCUM, haha

It's a nouveau riche thing

Actually, most DCUMers want you to think they're barely scraping by on $400K a year. They certainly feel they are classy, but call them "upper class" and they instantly screech
"Not in DC! It's expensive here! CHILD CARE! STUDENT LOANS! I can barely afford my bi-weekly butt waxes!"

Because Washington is now a poser town like Los Angeles and Dallas.

Everyone wants to look like a player.

Please. Washington could never hold a candle to either of those places.

Washington is more like nerd/social outcast central.

Insecurity. Washingtonians are the most insecure people on the planet.

People always want what they can't have. They think the grass is greener.

LA and Dallas?? No way does DC want to be like with of them, nor do they hold a candle to us, in the eyes of natives.

We are wonks here (not nerds), and we like money and power. But we are ultimately intellectual snobs, and look down at LA and Dallas. Full of pretty but vapid people.

And they look down on DC, that's for sure.

Take your average Washingtonian and put them next to your average Dallasite or Angeleno and we'll see who measures up

DC is unusual in that it has a great deal of affluence and education, but relatively little culture (aside from the awesome, federally-funded museums) compared to other major cities.

I think this is largely a result of the nature of most of the residents. Very career-oriented and competitive.
