I live on the main line and im not a spoiled little bitch that only hangs out with other spoiled little bitches. A majority of the people here might go to a private school, but that is because its by choice, most of them, if they wanted to they would be able to go to a public school. Not everyone has a house in avalon, and most people go with there friends who do. And no one looks down at people who dont have as much as they do, honestly most people dont give a shit how much money there friends parents make. Also no one wears polo shirts around, most of the kids wear it to school because its part of their uniform
The main line is awesome and people know it, they just dont want to admit it.

It's lame that you can't main line that shit and you have to use your hand instead. Maybe you should take a break for a while.

The main line is a place where there are tons of rich ass kids riding around in whatever car they want. whether it is the new BMW or Mercedes or maybe it's the mustang or STI. Merion Golf Club and Philly Country Club are the two most prestigious clubs and consist of nearly 100% WASPS. radnor valley is the country club that the jews like to hold onto because they wouldn't get accepted at either of the previous two. Malvern Prep, The Haverford School, Baldwin, Agnes Irwin, Shipley, Radnor, and Lower Merion are the preppiest schools around and are filled with very many rich kids. "nantucket" or "bermuda" red shorts are all over during the summers and no one would think about going out without a collared shirt on. if you don't wear J Crew, Abercrombie, American Eagle, or whatever else you aren't likely to fit in with the stereotypical mainliner.
Just like in all places there are exceptions and not EVERYONE is rich and snobbish like that; however, it is fairly prominent and behind every stereotype there is truth.
Let's go to the mall, get some starbucks, get fucked up, then tomorrow morning we'll go to my shore house in avalon or nantucket for the weekend. god i love the main line.

The rich suburbs out side of Philly. Characterized by the R5 SEPTA line and Rt30. Became popular during the turn of the century as a summer retreat for rich "old money" philadelphians. Still home to some of the richest people in the country but increasingly over run with "new money". Lots of catholics in the area, especially in Berwyn or Paoli, because the catholics were brought out from the city as servants for the old money. Now everyone knows who you are if you were born here, and if you weren't they may not trust you.
Main Line also refers to a dying way of life. Main Liners (old money) would marry one another and used connections to keep their money and prestige. Now most old money names have no money left. But they still consider them selves above new money.
Also home to some of the finest public and private school in the country and numerous colleges.
Look at all the main liners here.

The tanline that men have; tan calves and knees, but extremely pale thighs to the point of hilarity.
Jon's tighty whiteys really showed of his manline.

The main line is the suburbs of philly. It has a ton of stereotypes. People think that everyone is rich spoiled bitches, when in reality that’s false. Now I’m not going to lie, they’re are some people in the main line who live in 1 million dollar houses and go to private schools full of white kids. But I live in Berwyn and I go to a public school. My school has a lot of different races, including white, black, Asian, middle eastern, Indian, etc. Some of my friends live in apartments, 1 story houses, and eat at Wawa every night. Most of my friends aren’t white. Some of my friends have designer clothes, live in a 1 million dollar house, and they’re parents where also born and raised here. But my family is from Philly, and we aren’t spoiled rich brats. So here’s in inside look from someone who lives in the main line so stop all the stereotypes.
The main line is an area outside of Philly, full of white privileged kids.”
“Actually that’s not true, not everyone their can afford many things.”

The main line is a place where people can all pretend like they aren't rich. They hire college students to raise their children, and live mainly off of seltzer water and cottage cheese. They hire people to vaccuum and plant pretty trees but they are all either too strung out on pills/too busy commuting into the city to make the "big bucks"/in nantucket to notice. The women all have large breasts and tiny waists because they get plastic surgery, and they glare at other women who are threatening their "territory" (the husbands that are cheating on them with the babysitter). They think that their children are better because they saturate them in the "good life"-vacation, swimming and horseback riding lessons, fine art, and organic food, but really they are just creating their children to be people who truly believe that they are better than the rest of the world.

The sickest thing about the mainline is that there is old money, and the second generation truly does not know any different than what they have been raised in. They will live and die believing that they are "middle class" and that the way that they are living is fine. They will go on growing their little gardens thinking that it is environmentally friendly, yet continue to exploit people for their own profit, whether it be in their business or at their job. They will donate money to charities to feel better about it, and make their kids go on short term mission trips so that they realize how "lucky" they are. This pocket of suburbia is the epitome of everything that is wrong with America, and it truly is sad. There are documentaries about the pits of poverty in Africa, but there should be documentaries about the pits of wealth in Berwyn or Wayne.

Those who read this and think that they are different, they are not. If your kid goes to Radnor township, you are a sell out. If you think that just because your kids go to Good Sam Youth they aren't being exploited by your wealth, then go read the Bible and think about Jesus' words on what it means to be a person of humility and of little possessions. You are NOT middle class, and I don't care how many good causes you support. The mainline is a disgrace to humanity and I hope the recession burns a hole through it.
He who goes to the main line with hope comes out cynical.
