>used bookstore
This is a sign of how much you're taking advantage of the nearest city. Good used bookstores are fantastic resources and basically only exist where there's a large, well educated population. It's an indicator, not a real criterion.

>wasting money on college
You're way too pragmatic to be patrician. The networking at those schools is tremendous, and it's a sign of low class if you can't recognize that.

>harem
Yeah if you're not a total autist and fit these criterion, then it should be easy to sample the local pussy crop.

>$70k
That's the income cutoff because it's roughly the point where money troubles don't appear to significantly detract from one's satisfaction with life, and plenty of people at that level of income are quite wealthy. pic related

Unrecognized richfag here. No, because I'm from a part of Alabama where rich people try to be as anti-intellectual as possible, so even when I went to private school it was often assumed that I was on academic scholarship (no such thing at that school). Besides the anti-intellectual climate, I was from outside the city, so people assumed I was poor because they didn't see a big house in their neighborhood to prove it.

After that, I went to an elite New England University, and suddenly people were asking personal finance questions when they realized how much it cost (nobody from around here sends their kids to real private universities without scholarship).

I was completely unremarkable, financially, at university. People at university were smart enough to recognize that I seemed well read because I read a lot of books, so no stereotyping there.

Out in the real world now, being cultured helps get laid with quality women (probably means they think I'm rich) and impresses older people.
