[quote=Anonymous]"Class" as in "classiness" not "economic class" can be defined by the contrast of two 30-year-old single straight men that I know with similar early-professional incomes (about $75-80K)

The first, let's call him Joe, has an apartment with real furniture, knows how to cook meals that don't come out of a box, takes a woman on dates that are interesting but not necessarily expensive (free outdoor concerts, museums, etc), organizes his clothes, writes emails in compete sentences, irons his clothes, uses real cologne and sparingly, washes his car and cleans the inside of it, has a good relationship with his mother and calls her regularly.

The second, let's call him Mike. His dwelling is furnished with a mattress on the floor in front of a TV/video game console. He usually orders takeout or eats boxed macaroni. He does his dishes once a week. He still uses "u" and "r" instead of "you" and "are" and his emails lack punctuation. His car is full of empty food containers and other trash. His idea of a date is drinks at a bar and nothing more creative, and he still wears Axe body spray. He never calls his mother, even though he lives in her basement.

Class is Joe, obviously. Unfortunately, I know wayyyy too many perfectly gainfully employed, able-bodied Mikes. [/quote]
