Would you say that affluent people are less sociable and outgoing than poorer people?

[Oliver109]

I have noticed that richer people/richer areas are less friendly and outgoing than poorer people and areas, in the UK it is quite evident with London and the south being less sociable than the poorer north and Wales.

[Tooting Carmen]

Up to a point.

I’d say they are definitely more selective when it comes to socializing which is not necessarily a bad thing.

[Voskos]

I don't socialize with affluent people. I avoid them like the plague.

You can be rich and humble, you have a chance talking to me.

[Rogan]

No, I haven't noticed that. There are only differences between people from larger cities when compared to rural areas.

Absolutely, it's why in affluent areas people are usually more guarded if you speak to them or try and make conversation with them.

[Creoda]

Yes, although the wealthy and middle class in Australia are friendlier than the wealthy and middle class in England.

[Oghuz]

More selective in social interaction so yes.

[Oliver109]

Yes, although the wealthy and middle class in Australia are friendlier than the wealthy and middle class in England.

That wouldn't surprise me at all, plenty of Aussie professionals here in London, generally seem good natured and cheerful, class distinctions are probably looser there than here in the UK or even America.

At the end of the day, Wales and Scotland are substantially less densely populated than the crowded SE, and that goes for many, many parts of the north of England as well. Although money is generally 'tighter' in said areas, there is simultaneously less of a 'rush'/hustle and bustle. In poorer areas, people are maybe more inclined to 'band together'. On a similar note, population sparsity does not always = gregariousness in a population; the Nordic countries (excluding Denmark) are extremely sparsely populated and yet Swedes and Finns are considered the most 'introverted' of all Europeans. It is interesting why there is a more 'Mediterranean' disposition generally amongst the Irish, Welsh, and Scottish, compared to the Norwegians/Swedes/Finns.
