I don't mean it in a bad way. I am just curious because I went out of town a few weeks ago and I could tell the difference. Girls where I work are always talking about what they are wearing, designer handbags, their hair, and how white their teeth are lol! So why do you think in Miami we are like this?

1) Climate that owes itself to being able to show off one's physical attributes on a regular basis
2) Miami is considered to be a flashy/sexy place by the rest of the world, therefore it becomes internalized within local culture. As in, "I'm from Miami and therefore I'm something special, even though I otherwise live a mundane lifestyle in the suburbs."

this might open a can of worms lol. miami is known across the world, not only the USA, of its douche bag and gold digger culture. it really does your head in as when you meet people it feels like they are selling you something not talking to you.

I agree I think its just part of the culture and that stereotype of beauty that Miami has to live up to. I hope not to open a can of worms lol But I just want to know! I really don't see anything wrong with Miami being superficial. Every city has its "stereotype" and Miami just happens to be superficiality for some reason.

Miami people are a molotov cocktail mix of people which makes for a bad combination of people like Vegas and some parts of LA... extreme culture clash. I still love love Miami Beach and the Miami metro but its not for everyone, its a really flashy superficial money obsessed place... but so is Vegas and LA as well you have to expect that when you visit these cities.

A lot of it is just low class/hoi polloi people who think it makes them look rich or important if they wear designer label stuff, drive expensive cars, etc.
