>>7261084>Getting shitfaced in a club isn't a status symbol and never was. However, being in the VIP area, wearing glimmering watches and doing lines of coke off the tables, being able to invite any of the hottest girls off the dance floor there at your choosing, is a status symbol. Of course that's an exaggeration, but you see where I'm going.I completely agree and I can't deny what you're saying is true, but at the same time, context matters. What you're talking about here is more akin to something you see in a big city and not really in even slightly less populated areas. Also, I know some finance guys who do this kind of shit and I've gone to their weddings, and they're mostly, to confirm the stereotype I guess, at least partly Jewish, and their wives tend to be old-school-style bimbos—not good catches by any means. This reminds me of the guys who go to auto enthusiast meetups with their $200,000 custom Ford F-250 Super Duty painted bright, solid blue, with some kind of custom trailer and shit like that, on roids, with a giant ass coke can watch on their wrist... Yeah, it's a status thing for sure, the guy is built as fuck, clearly has a lot of money and all that, but at the end of the day, the sum of the parts is just shit. I don't deny the reality of it and the way it fits into a theoretical hierarchy, but when I complain as I do in the OP, my implied alternative is something patrician, or aristocratic, and an aristocrat would not be caught dead doing this shit. I'm not just whining because I can't afford blow jobs in the VIP section if you get my drift.
I just long for something better
