Sadistic_Life Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Okay, I must admit that I am extremely perturbed with the generalizations that many of you are making about "classy and sophisticated" women (i.e. having/wanting money, nice expensive cars, clothing, etc.). Honestly, class and sophistication is something inherent in someone; something you can't buy. You can give the most tasteless person money, cars, and nice clothing, and all you will have is a tasteless person with money, cars, and nice clothing. However, a person with class and sophistication can be dressed in a paper bag driving a clunker, and he/she will still be classy. And you will find her; some of us ladies still have some class. I agree with superconductor; try book stores. Also, you might want to try coffee shops and libraries. Of course, you will have to weed through the crowds, but just give it some time. Now how about you tell me where I can meet some classy guys with good character/ethics/morals, because I stay at coffee shops and book stores, and all I have yet to find one (though I have met numerous nice women)!

Pyro Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi, I'd like to ask if anyone knows where to meet classy sophisticated girls. I'm looking for women from the ages from about 24-30(I'm 30). I don't really like the women who go to clubs/pubs(usually) and my friends are mostly married now so I've got no-one to go with anyway. I've heard people suggest church, but how can you just turn up to any church? I thought about tennis clubs but the age range is too great I think(you'll probably end up playing with 55 year olds?)Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Classy people are all around. If you want to meet classy people, introduce yourself to others when out, engage in a conversation and you will see who is classy and who is not. Classy is not defined by how they look or what they own, but by the kind of person that they are. You can have all the money in the world, drive a mercedes, and be a member of a country club, but if you treat people like garbage, then you are not classy. Link to post Share on other sites
Sideburns Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 like they say, if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Stick to the pubs and find a sweet ol' beer swillin' mamma who's not affraid to pop a zit on your back. ...Happy hunting Link to post Share on other sites
Adunaphel Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I really like The Riddler's advice. Wherever you are (be it at a pub, bar, club, seminary, party, on the internet, with people you don't know well, doing sports, attending painting classes, in a store, anywhere), just act classy yourself, and chances are high that classy girls who might be present will notice you.

alphamale Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 just act classy yourself, and chances are high that classy girls who might be present will notice you. And exactly HOW does one ACT classy?? Don't you need props and acoutrements? Expensive clothes help as does a Rolex. Italian shoes at $400/pair never hurt either. What I'm saying is that it would be hard to act classy in a tattered T-Shirt, ripped jeans and 4 year old birkenstocks Link to post Share on other sites

burning 4 revenge Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I guess I'm naive when I think of "Classy or Sophisticated" I think of Audrey Hepburn. Or a independent, good-hearted woman, with a good sense of being tasteful. You don't need money for that. I guess the OP needs to define is definition.Audrey Hepburn was a gutterwh*re compared to Bette Davis Link to post Share on other sites

Italian shoes at $400/pair never hurt either. What I'm saying is that it would be hard to act classy in a tattered T-Shirt, ripped jeans and 4 year old birkenstocks It's a really good question. I guess everyone has his or her own idea of what "classy" means. I think that acting classy in a tattered t-shirt and ripped jeans is very possible, although it is not nearly as easy as acting like a prick in a Brooks brothers suit. Being a bit of an egotist "egotist: a person of low taste-more interested in himself than in me." - Ambrose Bierce), my idea of a classy guy is a guy who displays the same qualities that I I like the most in myself, and/or also some of those qualities and attitudes that I would love to have but matter-of-factly I haven't. To me classy is nice, intelligent, friendly, honest but not brutally honest, with decent-to-very-good communication skills, and versatile (someone who will act in a way that is appropriate to the place/situation). To other people classy will mean something totally different. I am fine with guys who wear expensive clothes - I actually find them sexy, even if i'd be embarassed to date a guy who wears expensive stuff, since I'm a bit of a lousy dresser myself. But I don't think that it is enough to label someone as 'classy', I actually believe that when you wear expensive clothes, being classy is even harder. A guy can be spotted wearing a ripped t-shirt, taking part in a burping competition at a beer festival, and still be a classy person, IMO. A very handsome, educated and wealthy businessman who acts rudely to a waiter, a clerk, a stripper, just because he thinks his job is better than theirs, is someone whom I'll never ever regard as classy.

blind_otter Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 To me classy is merely someone with an acute awareness of socially appropriate methods of behaving, who has incorporated such awareness so intimately with their persona as to make those behaviors seem innate or intrinsically understood.

I agree b_0 but you're most likely talking about individuals who were brought up well, are educated and probably have a pretty good job. I know there are classy individuals of all socio-economic levels but usually these people are not living in trailer parks. good upbringing+education+style+money+manners=classy Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I tend to agree, although there are cases of individuals who have, in adolescence and adulthood, made a serious study of the way that those with good upbringing, education, style, money and manners behave. It can be a learned behavior, but that takes a lot more effort than most are willing to invest in social artifice. Link to post Share on other sites
alphamale Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It can be a learned behavior, but that takes a lot more effort than most are willing to invest in social artifice. "Classy" can be learned but its quite hard to pull off successfully. Its all about your upbringing B_O.... you cannot control your upbringing and you also cannot fake it for any length of time. Once the mindset, thouhts. views and philosopies are established in the brain by age 20 or so it is very hard to change them. Have you ever seen a blue-collar, high school educated person win the Lotto? Well they may be rich and have a Ferrari and $1 million house now but their mindset is still the same as before. You cannot buy "class"....it mostly comes from your upbringing. Link to post Share on other sites

Nice definintion! I was away and went to a few restaurants. One lady noticed the way I ate and the way I placed my napkin and used tableware. Some waiters knew what I was doing while others had to ask to take the plate. The lady approached me to say I had some class because of the way I signaled. Anyway back to where to meet. Well joining a few private clubs, knowing some watering holes, education (universities), or a 5 star hotel. The 5 star hotel is to teach table manners like table placements and napkin placement, those subtle messages. You might meet some classy girls. You would more likely meet their mothers but I'm sure they might hook you up after they are done some intense interrogation of you. The other thing with "classy girls" are their subtle actions. One has to pick up on those subtle actions. Link to post Share on other sites

Outcast Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I worked in a government department where the minister of the department also worked. I saw him leaving one night through the basement corridor to the garage. On his way, he greeted every guard by name. That's classy. One of the diplomats refused to speak to anyone below a certain position. One day, he mistook me for someone higher up. From that day forward, he would greet me when he saw me but still didn't even look at most of my colleagues. That is not classy. It's about politness and manners. About treating people with respect, no matter their 'class' or station in life. And it's definitely not being able to belch the alphabet or crush a beer can on your forehead. Which is why beer-can-crushing belchers consider 'class' to be 'snobby'. There's a mindset that people should do whatever they want to even if it's offensive to others. And that people who don't agree are 'snobs'. Link to post Share on other sites

Kittiecat Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 It seems to me that C&S people never really laugh out loud, ya know, straight from their stomachs. It's kind of sad, really. Are we really supposed to worry about not making the wrong move, or...gasp...using the wrong utensil during a meal? Everyone wants to be part of the aristocracy - hell, me included, I'd look lovely chomping down on a big juicy burger, swilling a beer while wearing a tiara. I just thing real girls are more fun.
