Pride Being A City Girl

I had a Consumer Behaviour on Tuesday that touches on consumers' psychology when they buy things. The lecturer then talked about the pride that city people that they are proud to tell people of their place of origin and those from small town were never really proud of their hometown.

He gave the example by saying that you will tell people proudly "I'm from KL" but you will never heard people say proudly "I'm a Dengkil guy". Everyone burst into laughter after hearing the statement. Haha... The statement might be true in some ways.

Why? Why is this happening? He associated it with something. Something that consumer will have in their mind. And he said these:

They want P.R.I.D.E.

They wanted to appear G.L.A.M.O.R.O.U.S.

I might just sing along to Fergie's "Glamorous". Seems like I went out of topic. Back to the topic. People like to be look up to. Imagine that... Being in a place where most of the rich and famous be.

To tell the truth, I like being in the city. Everything is here in the city. The biggest mall, the highest tower is here. We have the best of everything here. Higher pay for employees perhaps? And people from other town come flocking KL thinking that their will change for better.

Anyway, there has been sayings that KL people is arrogant, rude, unfriendly and the way of living is more stressful and competitive than that of rural area and the pace of living is faster. Sometimes I do envy that the life in rural area is calming, less stress but I still love KL the best.

I personally heard from my friend that KL people is rude and unfriendly. Just wanna clear the facts. I think KL people might appear arrogant, rude and unfriendly is because they want to defend themselves from all the harm here and not looking down on people. There are conman around, waiting for every chance to deceive victims. Am I right? KL people, you guys might say something about this statement.

The life here in KL is sure more stressful and competitive and pace is faster as we don't want to lose out to people. You will lose out if you are not competitive in KL.

I love the life here. Being a competitive person, defensive person, and enjoy the best of everything!! This is the pride of being a City Girl!!
