[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the order of importance to “look wealthy” without any brands or labels?

- be skinny 
- great skin
- great teeth
- hair “done”
- nice clothes
- nice accessories (bag, shoes)
- fine jewelry, watch
 
Like, if I’m skinny and have great skin and teeth do I need the other things to “look wealthy”? [/quote]

Can you explain why you need to look “wealthy,” as opposed to simply put together and attractive?  And if you are not actually wealthy why do you need to fake it?[/quote]

Not OP, but wealthy people get a lot of privileges and perks that make life easier and more pleasant. Sometimes those are handed out purely on the basis of appearing wealthy. [/quote]

Ok, that I definitely get, but is it worth it to try and go beyond regular “pretty privilege” to be something that is clearly not authentic to you?  It’s just very weird and not healthy or worth it.

I frequently travel to my parents’ home country and over the years I realized that people treat me with a certain degree of deference because I present as an attractive and wealthy woman of a certain class.  I could not “fake” this- it comes with my education and mannerisms and health and access to the United States.

It sort of worries me that so many Americans concern themselves with this now.  It suggests that being a regular middle class person no longer affords access to regular decent treatment by other people so you now want to be perceived in a certain way.  More evidence that our society may be deteriorating instead of becoming more egalitarian.[/quote]

Oh, are we maybe in decline? Thank you so much for the observation, wannabe princess.[/quote]

Girl, I’m not a wannabe anything, sorry if that triggers you.[/quote]
