[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is true in my experience.  I think it's cultural and also the types of jobs people have.  UC people who have jobs are usually in roles where their success depends partly on charming lots of people - CEO, lobbyist, law firm partner, etc. - those people tend to have a decent amount of charisma and do well with people.  They get used to glad-handing and that crosses over into their day-to-day interactions.

MC people often have service-type jobs or teaching or nursing or otherwise work in environments with a lot of human interaction.  So again, they are used to interacting with lots of different types of people successfully.

UMC folks often have email jobs where they don't see a lot of people except on Zoom meetings.  Plus they are busy and stressed and striving so they don't have time for new friends.[/quote]

Very true in my experience! Some of my UMC engineering and policy wonk type peers can come across as rude but they are actually socially awkward. But I also know UMC people who are as were described previously in this thread. The previously MC- social status conscious striver types. They have no manners and are simply rude and obvious in their social climbing calculations.

CEOs and executives or rich people with sales jobs are different. A combination of being secure in their status and privilege and the social skills needed to do those public facing jobs, makes them come across as friendly and charming. They usually also don’t have the chip on their shoulder than the striver UMC types do. [/quote]
