The older you get, the pickier you get. You'd rather splurge for a
motel than surf on semen stained couches and you'd rather go gay than
settle for a boyfriend with outstanding bench warrants or buck teeth.
Becoming picky is normal because the older you get, the more you learn
about yourself. Namely, that you're a tight ass.
Appearing classy is much more important than being classy; British
people freely use the word toilet and "see you in Tahiti" in public but
they have charming accents so no one takes back their Nobel Prizes.
Smokescreens are important because being classy is hard, especially
with weak impulse control and a deep seeded hatred of tweed.
If you're not British, try faking an accent, wearing Chanel or not speaking in public.
