Why do most people automatically respect someone who makes a lot of money?
 

Lets take GFY for example. Most posters here automatically side and agree with people who make a lot of money. No matter what the person says or how he acts, most people here still think he is somehow superior to them, so they automatically suck up to him and agree with anything he does.

Why is that?

because you have to. you are an idiot to even make this post. you broke bitch. i make too much to even be replying to you. get lost loser

because they dont have a mind of their own, they are puppets

Becasue they want some money too.

PS: They can't get money from people who don't have any money so fuck them.

because they dont have MONEY of their own :2 cents:

yet, here you are

:1orglaugh

yeah, but mindlessly respecting and agreeing with rich people wont make them any money

why they still do it?

Because it's human nature. Our instincs are to pick fights with some on our level, fights we can win.

I'm siding with pimpdog on this one.. :1orglaugh

you mean, you subconsciously want to fight with every person you interact with?

i'm not buying it.


Here's an example:

You meet two new people. You don't know anything about them, except that one is rich and the other is broke.

You are automatically going hold the rich one in hight regard, and pay close attention to everything he says.

This is very simple to answer! When we are younger something happened (an event, or someone said something,...) and we got programmed by that event. Typically it is a self-worth conversation and or attaching ones self-worth to money/material possessions.

That is why we tend to give people with money a better listening/respect..

cause they're fat, and scared of being hungry

Money talks. This place is entertaining to watch the rectum suckers who agree and kiss up up to the big "players'

Examples:Sleazydream and his faggot J-Man.

Listening to what someone successful has to say doesn't necessarily mean you hold them in high regard. :2 cents:

Because the guy with money did something right in life. you can learn from him. if I'm in a group of people and someone there has more success then me i want to pick his/her brain a bit and see what they've learned on the way up that may apply to what I'm doing and taking to the next level. some broke ass hick isn't going to teach me a thing and that doesn't mean i can't hang with him it just means i hold the wealthy man in higher regard .

It's a learned process usually stemming from ignorance. It also comes from societies who measure success in terms of wealth (GFY is a classic microcosm of this).

In your example, the "broke" person (or who appears to be "broke") can have 100 fold more to offer as a individual and already achieved more in their life than the "rich" person ever will achieve. It's surprising how many people are modest and not necessarily wealthy - but have done more and gained high cred internationally beyond a level most of us would ever reach.

well said

im rich as fuck but i used to be broke as fuck. im a self made man with a nudge froma friend to get started, the rest ive done all on my own

property purchases, investments etc.

im a smart mother fucker and everyone loves me :helpme

There are cases were a wealthy guy just got lucky and is an asshole that can teach ya a thing but I know I'm not talking about that guy. you also have guys with not much money that have learned big lessons in life and are very smart. I hold them just as high as a guy that has had success . I think it depends on more then just a black and white "If they have money"

pure nonsense. what is this language you speakith?

Money talks, bullshit walks.

See, this is exactly what i'm talking about here. You automatically assume the rich guy did something right / is successful because he is smart or talented.


What if he is a criminal? What if he stole all the money from other people?

Good post. I fully agree.

below that i did say there are exceptions and it more then just black and white ... Money

you are a follower and not a leader.

its people like you that make our society such shit.

why are you here? go shave some more affiliates scumbag and make your money the way you usually do.

Sure, earning money can be positive and indicate some business accumen, depending how he earned it.

One noticeable element is that people running what could be described as successful businesses keep their mouths shut. They do not discuss corp activity or their personal wealth - it's nobody else's business and the last hope in hell is introducing yourself expecting them to open up and allow a "brain picking" session.

Sure, there are others not in that league and they can either talk sense or spew utter rubbish. Everyone is different.

id ignore this guy, he is a scammer from way back with a new nick. pm me and ill tell ya who he is, its quite suprising how people can change names and come back starting their same old tricks again.

scarry world we live in.

LOL, look who is talking!

you know much more about shaving affiliates and being a scumbag


fuck off Trey

Cuz it aint easy being cheezzzy.

Agree Mike - the basic measure is more of the individual than what money he may have.

It may be just chance, but most of the people I know who are either very wealthy or live a modest livestyle are generally modest in their achievements. One appears not to be wealthy person - had to ask for his CV and got a 50+ page edition in response (wish I never ever asked for that - embarassing!!). He had achieved more in his life - more than I ever will - and recieved high recognition for his work globally. He is a very modest man and totally honorable tho personal wealth is not on the top of his agenda/ambitions, but he is *very* rich in other ways on many different levels.

Sure.. there are plenty others who are "broke" - they can be anything, from total idiots to similar to the guy above.

People are stupid.

They think that people whit money will give them money if they are nice to them. Most people that are rich don't spend a lot of money on things that don't make them even richer. So also not on people that are nice to them.

If u are rich u will now that people will be more friendly to u. Thats when u know to fuck them off because if they where not friendly when u started why are they now friendly?

Same whit salespersons if i walk in a car dealership they would normally ignore me because I look like a bum. When they see the car that i drived to the dealership they are jumping for me.

easy ...

money = power

such an easy reply rather than addressing the issue eh. heh

typical

i have always welcomed test sales to epiccash. as long as we are told after wards so you dont get paid on the sale.

can you back your crap up? didnt think so scammer.

Q: " Why do most people automatically respect someone who makes a lot of money?"
A: Because they're fucking sheep.

It's that simple.

One should respect and learn from someone who has something valuable to offer. Would anyone here take advice from Paris Hilton? Granted, someone who "earns" their money, is a different story. But, I'd venture to guess, as this board has shown over the years, "most" people here who say and try to prove they've "earned" their money, either 1. Really have no money and are lying via a proxy, or 2. Scammed the fuck out of a lot of people.

So, in regard to this board and most posters, you're left with a very small percent of people you should ever listen to.... or Paris Hilton.

That's my opinion, at least.

can you back yours?

no? fuck off then.

Well said; but mannnnnnn, this is just not the reality on the ground.

When people think you have no money then they treat you like shit no matter what else you have going for you. I've had too many experiences where I was wearing work-out clothes etc... and decided to do some quick biz or look at something to buy or rent. I got the mega shit treatment almost everytime. I even got charged $2.00 more per drink in a bar once because they thought I was not going to tip. I ended up having a lady I met their go buy my drinks to get a better price.

I put on some old clothes to do laundry one day then decided to run to the store to get some shampoo and handed the cashier my visa card and she was like "you can't buy that with this".
I was like "what? I use this card all the time". Then she said "you can't but non-food items with a food stamp card". She didn't even look at the card to see it was a visa!! I had to argue with her to get her to read the card.
That would not have happened if I had on a $600 suit.

yes actually i can.

any more questions scammer?

thats what I thought.

stay away from this guy, he will rob you blind

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Yes, it's automatic.

Since the caverns days we have been in interaction with each other, and classifying each other in rank...

They have made lots of scientifical tests about this, and you enter competition with somebody you know you can beat or that's near your level. When somebody is above you, you know not to pick fights you are going to loose.

Actually it's followers who make this society great. You can use them to your advantage and get rich off their work. If everybody was a leader this would be hell, literally.

everyone measures success by their bank accounts.

Exactly... there are types that tend to be given respect before it's earned... that's the elderly and the rich.

However, that doesn't meant that they can't lose that respect.

Perception is reality.

only in AMERICA does such a thing happen....it's TURE AMERICANS love Money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sad but true me too
