Bay area: A never ending dick measuring contest?

Every time I socialize, it just feels like a very subtle way to judge you on every aspect. For example, Them : What car do you drive? Me: VW jetta. Them: Why don't you buy a Tesla? ******* Them: What do you do in your free time? Me: I like to go for a run once in a while. Them: Oh really? I ran a 5k in 20 mins last week. Let me follow you on strava. Has this been your experience as well? If yes, what dick measuring contests have you seen? #tech #hobbies Obligatory TC : 310k

Added TC. Is blind points a new dick measuring contest now? πŸ˜‚

Always. I can choose any scale to measure my πŸ†

Agree that there are some idiots like this. For example, look at the weekly prestigious company list in blind etc... just stay away from them. There are some genuine nice people too. After all, things are not that bad.

What sort of a social circle do you have ? Any specific ethnic group? I have friends who are managers as well as blue collar workers and no one asks these questions. Of course we all talk about trucks , but just in terms of which one has more HP and stuff ,

I don't want to direct it to an ethnic group. But may be you're right. I can understand you folks talking about trucks' HP. That is geek talk and not prestige driven. Those conversations are genuinely fun.

You are hanging out with the wrong set of people.

Sounds more like a lot of America in general rather than just bay area.

Spit on them

Yes . Everyone is mentally sick here. They think material pleasure is everything. None is happy even with $1M salary. Just keep comparing. Worst part is they are raising kids same way. Zero happiness. If possible stay in other places LCOL.
