I can only assume you're going with the internet standard of "This is what I've seen, so it must be the engraved-in-stone truth" model. My observations of people have provided different thoughts. You know that the most shallow social jack asses I've ever met had cars? That's because the car doesn't make a person any less of a jack ass. It makes him a jack ass with a car. Simply put: crap. What you're talikng about isn't social skills. What you're talking about is social status. Different things. Many people with mobility and cars, and dates don't necessarily have social skills, but they've managed social status. I've thrown down with plenty of drunken rednecks who had girlfriends and cars (trucks, technically) and they didn't have good social skills. They had cars, money, and dated and socialized with the exact same type of people.I don't know about you. I have pretty good social skills. But I quit being concerned with social status about the same time I quit trying to one-up my elementary school peers I buying Star Wars action figures.</blockquote>
