Act when You Are in Company With Upper Class
How do you act around upper class people? Like when you are around your "middle-class" friends right? WRONG! Going from "middle-class" to "upper-class" in the ways of manners can be hard, right? Here's how to act when in the presence of a higher status.
Steps
- Never, Ever, Ever talk about money. You can talk about pricey things, like a trip, but you never mention how much it would cost. You may say the name of the hotel (if it was a good one), but there is no need to point out the price.
- Dress well for the occasion. Do not overdress. Check what others are going to wear, and if possible prepare before with someone who is already "in the club." They will (if they like you) give you good hints about what to wear and not to wear.
- Be nice. Smile, don't insult anyone, and don't pull any rude jokes.
- Be open and charming. Don't be shy. There is no need to attack the first person that you see, but if you spot someone interesting go and talk to them.
- Boys and girls from upper class families are very strict with good manners. Be careful of how you act. If you want to come on to some one, do it very discreet. Find out if they have a boy/girl friend first. If they do, let them go. You will only be called trashy.
- Have good manners. Know in what order to use the forks and knives and so on.
- Have a good vocabulary. Don't use bad or vulgar language.
- If you get upset over something, try to stay calm.
Tips
- Things spreed incredibly fast. Don't do anything you don't want the entire city to know about, especially when the press is involved. Many upper-class events often have press and television coverage.
- Be careful with what you do, with who, and when. Even the smallest talk can quickly be blow out of proportion. Upper-class likes to gossip about things like that.
Warnings
- Don't mess with the "Queen Bee". Even if she is an unbearable bitch. The others will just turn against you.
