Your social climbing would be recognized immediately Android or something you would be rejected.


So you are not allowed to WANT to be a part of a group. They only want people who don’t like them.

You need to join the right church. You need to join the right country club. Junior League and DAR and the right sorority used to be helpful, but I have no idea about now.

Also, wealthy families like these can smell social climbers like OP from a mile away.

Exactly. Also, money and class are not the same. If you have to ask, OP, you aren't going to have much luck.

Not around here! All new tech money. I was shocked when I went to a St. A's fundraiser. Not what I was expecting.

manners and class are not limited to Southern families. Mitch McConnell is from an affluent southern family whose wealth was built on the backs of slaves.

I'd rather be connected to Americans who pulled themselves up by the bootstraps than those who came from old famly money that comes from the backs of slaves.

Also, wealthy families like these can smell social climbers like OP from a mile away.
