The party culture in America is just very different to that of Europe..
..Partying there is very glamourised, only well off or beautiful people can go to the parties which Leo mentions. So if you aren’t rich or super hot then forget it. Just another example of a class divide.. it’s more an issue of social status/social class. Which is why there is so much emphasis being put on working on your social status and working hard to gain access to these places so you can climb the hierarchy ladder..
..It’s like the options are either very high class and expensive parties where you need to be VIP to gain access, or the other option is parties for peasants and ugly people. Not really a middle ground..
..So then people will work harder to gain access to the vip parties, which creates a very materialistic outlook.. and your worth as a human becomes dependent upon your place in the social market..
..and I’m not saying these things don’t exist in Europe, snobbery is everywhere.. but the difference is that you don’t have to go to the VIP places or spend a lot of money to meet attractive women..
..because party culture in European countries is more spread out over the the different social and economic classes, and you have all types of people mixing within the same clubs and bars because clubs are affordable for everyone.
