[quote=Anonymous]Strivers are, by and large, social climbers. Strivers usually display middle class sensibilities and insecurities, yet are trying to climb their way into America's upper classes by aping their betters. Strivers are the ones posting on DCUM to understand what to wear to a certain type of event or what are the "top 3" private schools or how can my "DD" get in to the "best" colleges. Strivers are snobs, have first generation wealth and are desperate to maintain or at least to not slip down the social ladder or allow their DDs to do so. Strivers live in tasteless McMansions that they paid $1.5-$2.0 million for, in neighborhoods full of split level 60-70s style houses in Bethesda and Arlington.  Strivers are not class settled because are trying to "buy it" or "learn it". Strivers are the types that would "buy their own heirlooms." Strivers are the types that read books like "Class" or "The Official Preppy Handbook" as "how to get ahead in life for dummies" rather than ironic takes on the American class system. Strivers are most likely good students, probably neurotic and definitely insecure - and make up a huge portion of the non-native population of the DC metro area! [/quote]
