It's a turn off to many RPers who don't want to prove themselves ICly, because Anthony will be cold, he will be distant, and he'll even be rude to those he doesn't know.
This topic has been breached in the past by multiple people having the same issue. Roleplay is a collaborative venture, and while there's nothing inherently wrong with playing someone who's stand-offish or offensive, one also has to consider our own impact on our impromptu partners. If it's completely IC for your character to be rude to someone simply based on perceived social status, you can safely rule out majority of the playerbase from wanting to associate with you.
This attitude's come up before: You sound like you want to be engaged, but it also sounds like you're putting the entire onus of interaction on the hypothetical people you're trying to court here. In so many words, your OP doesn't say "I'm looking for people to RP with me," it says "My character will require hours of effort to be fun around, and I'm looking for investors."
