    I have noticed that more affluent people are significantly more likely to start conversations with me in the form of one of these questions "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Do you have a car/can you drive" "How much money do you make?" "Why aren't you doing X?" and possibly a snide remark or intrusive question. Less affluent people have been less likely to probe me for this stuff or place such high importance on it. I'm not trying to bash affluent people just being honest about my experiences. Although I personally absolutely HATE being asked any of those questions at first and hope no one ever asks me them before getting to know me at all as a person first it is starting to piss me off, It's more understandable to asks once you actually know someone better.

    Also I don't do classifications currently, sorry.

    That is true, there is a correlation with nerdiness and social standing and certainly people in nerdy careers that may also be better paying like accounting, IT or research are less sociable than builders, chefs and maintenance men.
