- Everyone is so nice and gracious. The politest people I have socialized with in the US.

You must be hanging out with the staff, not the members.

Indeed. The staff are even exceptional. It’s part of the overall charm. The sky shines brighter, the flowers smell better, literally everything is a step up when you cross the CCC threshold.

That sounds nice OP. I have found all kinds of people among the DC elite/wealthy. People do tend to look better when they're wealthy..clothes, hair, teeth, posture, etc.

Rich woman in the DC area are not as attractive as women in the South (or CA), but, they are smarter. They look good because they can afford to dress well and take care of themselves.

This is not anthropology. This is a short and superficial anecdote.

I couldn't get past describing a D.C. area population as "good looking."

Chevy Chase Country Club is in Illinois I think. Chevy Chase Club is in the DC area.

I wouldn’t call Chevy Chase Club as representative of DC’s elite per se, but your point is well taken. Unfortunately this post is going to attract the usual posse of haughty, self-important, utter losers that like to look down their nose at anything involving a country club.

Really? Chevy Chasers are a special kind of ugly. They have this pasty white inbred look.

Barf.

Yea I spend a lot of time in Chevy chase circles and this rings true op. Ignore the unkind posters above. A lot of that is generational wealth thus these folks don't need to work their butts off and can live life to the fullest. But they also are very polite and kind to others around them...now I have no idea what they're like behind closed doors but I also don't care. Everyone has skeletons but it's not "fake" to be a bit more gracious and polite in public....that's how our society works.

GOP I think?

Skinny and “pretty” in a weird fake lashes and Fox News host way.

No one would describe the dems that way.

Yes the gop may be prettier, but the trade off is their morals. But hey, whatever floats your boat, if you want to hang out with objectively bad people.

DC is full of ugly, nerdy people, so your meter must be askew.

They are Type-A strivers, so yes probably more fit than the average city.

They are definitely not nice and gracious; maybe fake nice at best.
