Though you claim otherwise—for me, the People you describe are indistinguishable from my friends.

Maybe if you go to a lot of conferences, or work in a lot of places, or live in a country like the US with lots of city hubs, you get to meet a larger group of People who fit this description but aren't your friends. Living and working in London, that's not been my experience.

Maybe I am too young and just haven't met them yet. Maybe I am just not Your People.
