Class distinctions, in terms of "breeding" aside, I think you are assuming a lot of facts not yet in evidence.
For example, we don't yet know whether e/o's friends are old or new money. Furthermore, we don't know whether the women in question are attracted to the qualities that go with "good breeding" as you say, or merely more interested in the guys bank, regardless of where it comes from. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but in a bar or club setting, it's less likely to make a difference. I will agree with one thing you say and that is that you are more likely to see vulgar displays of wealth from the newly wealthy as opposed to people who come from wealth. However, since we don't yet know who we are dealing with, I think your answer assumes too much.

Assume for a moment that you and I are in a bar. You are with your friends and I am with mine. I have a friend with me who is not just beautiful, but utterly hot, as EO alluded to earlier this morning.
At some point, our 2 groups of friends wind up sitting sort of together, in the sense that our tables are very close, and we are now talking back and forth. It has become a grand party. I will be able to tell you, with absolute certainty, which of your friends makes the most money and which makes the least. My knowledge will be based, in part, in having learned what each of you does for a living, recognizing that one of you is wearing a Chopard watch and one of you a Timex, paying attention to the stories that you tell ("remember that one winter break, when we went to my parents place in Aspen and didn't make it back to Exeter until after midterms?" as opposed to "In college, I worked the graveyard shift at UPS, so I know pretty much every zip code in the USA"), and honing into your "pack" dynamics. In groups, guys tend to give alot away. The guy with the most cash will likely not be the most noticable in the pack, the guy with the least will be taken care of in subtle ways by his buddies, etc. etc.
BTW, at some point, my amazingly hot friend will gravitate to one of two guys in your pack...the one with the most jack, or the one with the least (if he's a hot musician or poet or something).
Now, at the end of the night, you guys will have all decided which of my group gives good head, likes anal sex, and who fakes her orgasms.
This is the beauty of gender differences.
