No dear it's inherit. It will show in your showcase if you have pics, your location, culture, mannerisms and so on.......Your IQ, EQ, background, so many factors. I have known some people that have been able to get into the social scene at the Hamptons and were self taught. Even the staff at The Hamptons have class! That impresses me. Someone who is willing to learn cultures, languages, and so on....To do it alone....I'm impressed..I met a gent who grew up in a small Texas town, about my age. He was a total hick. Ate with his mouth open, no manners, just wondered WTF was he doing in Houston......I ran like hell...
Few years later in London on Canary Wharf I meet THE SAME MAN. Well polished, impeccable manners, cultured! He transformed himself in order to be successful...You can't buy it. It's inherent, or very well taught.....He NEVER eluded to his past persona, this I who he is now. We have a drink ever so often and I enjoy asking him about his transformation...I thought about giving Carkiddo his phone number....Nah, lost cause...

We all understand your point though: You're better than us and belong in the Hamptons sneeringly judging people from behind your $500 dollar sunglasses. Fine. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Forget all about the people here who have subsidized your lifestyle and ignore the fact that, despite what you may believe, you are nothing more than a pimp in expensive, high-heeled shoes. Trust me, we will forget all about you except in amusing anecdotes to each other.
For me, I'd would rather spend my time and money with sincere, confident people who understand that the fact I prefer jeans and t-shirts to Armani suits has no bearing on the amount of money in my bank account and doesn't say anything whatsoever about me as an individual. Can I afford Armani? Yes. Do status symbols like suits and cars mean anything to me? No, so I spend my money on things that do mean something to me, like whores and whiskey.
You and VN are entitled to your opinions, just like I'm entitled to mine. So here's mine and you're welcome to do with it what you will: you are both snobbish bitches and I wouldn't piss on either of you if your hair was on fire; I'd be enjoying the show too much to care.
Sorry for the personal attack, Mods, but I've had it with these two cunts and I feel better now. I'm a big boy and will take my lumps as they come, but I couldn't in good conscience silently abide their not-so-subtly veiled attacks on everyone
they feel is beneath them.
