Patrick Bateman is a yuppie. He works at wall streetMost non-yuppies hate yuppies mainly because of the fact that they could never be the yuppie if they ever wanted to. Face it, every non-yuppie wants to be a yuppie, and every yuppie pretends to be a bohemian to add more dimensions in their materialistic lives.Face it fellas, Yuppies , with their ivy league education, slicked hair ; Armani suits and Versace Loafters...with reservations each night at the best restaurants...driving the best cars, living in the best high rise apartment, live a life that most can only dream of.THIS IS the American dream , anything else is but an illusory alternative. This is REALITY.
