People respect you when you are rich?

I definitely noticed that people really respect more the rich. They watch how you dress how you behave in society and how much money you have. If you have more soon sneak up on you and you become friends and not have to be. Real friends understand them in more ways, if you're in trouble if we help you. thank you for this discussion. nice day

Well, sure being rich is one way of getting people to respect you. But for me, just by the quality of our behavior towards other people, you can gain respect. I don't know if it's the people i met, but most of them are rich and they still respect me because the way i am. But really, hanging out with rich people makes your life better because you can do more stuff than you can because you don't have the money to do it when you doesn't have the cash.

Hi wongchoiyee, it's normal that in this money talks in society world, money and power are always be the priority for most of the people to pick friends. They hope they could get advantages from rich friends. As what I know wealthy people like to entertain friends with food and drinks in clubs or high class restaurant. That'why they always have lots of followers. They also would give discount cards or free vouchers to the followers to get branded products Such phenomena could be seen often in movies. And this happens in real life as well. Happy posting

And the truth is,the rich people will attract more person,this is the reality of our society.But regarding to people will get more respect when they are rich then I do not think so,people crowd around rich people the one season is they can get benefit from the rich people,but the respect is fake in many situation.

Most business minded people that I know tend to only want to get to know rich people. You need to get to where the money is to grow your business, that's their opinion :)

Users are everywhere. And sometimes it's not respect but they're afraid that if they become rude to this person, her life will be miserable because that person is rich. I remember back in high school. The bullies in our school are the richest and teachers are not even doing anything about it even if they see these rich bullies bullying other children. Their parents are donating some of the facilities in our school that when they go to our school, you can see from the teachers that they are respecting them and very careful with their words when the bullies' parents are asking about their children.

Hi wong! Good discussion! (This discussion figures in mylot digest dt. 10.12.12) Yes, your observation seems correct. It is a human tendency to make contact with those who are 'something' either they hold any important position/post or are wealthy. People know that connecting with 'these kinds' of people could help them solve some their problems.

Well definitely wealth inspires everyone because with money you can buy anything in this and when you sit and walk with rich peoples, others think that you have good connection with them so they can be in touch with rich peoples through you. Money money money, I dont like money but its true that money is everything in our materialistic world.

Well, one of the secrets of being 'rich' is to surround yourself with 'rich' people. When you surround yourself with rich people, you become one of them (i.e. basically, you act like you should have more money, and more money rolls in ) That's why the credit-system is good for most people (glory to the employers' Lord )

Well, I think people are nicer to rich people, but I don't necessarily think they are respected more. I think they might be nice to them, because they want a piece of the pie. I read a quote once, "a rich man is just a poor man with money." Money doesn't make a person, their character makes them who they are.

I think yes, because you have something than the common people. I think it is one privilege of the rich, to be respected.

I noticed that most people have more respect, or fear rather, to rich people. But for me, I have some criteria in deciding who are the people I'm gonna respect the most. But generally when I don't know a person really well then I respect him or her. Respect is earned as they say so I really do look on people who already proved themselves, I respect people not because of money but because of who they are.

For me people earn my respect for what they do, how they deal with other people. Being rich doesn't automatically earn my respect. I know lot of rich people with such bad attitude that they don't deserve any respect at all. So for me it's defenitely not about being rich at all.

some people who is rich likes to be with someone who is rich too.. they tend to like each other because they think they live in the same circle in which are they belong too..that is a reality here in our environment we live in.. and for that matter they will respect the people they think that belong to them.. in your case the friends who is rich maybe really genuine to see you that`s why you feel that they are nice to you.. not all rich are mean.. some really have a good heart..

I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people in my life...the rich, the not so rich,the middle class and the poor and the poorest and I can tell you one thing the poor and the poorest have a high sense of honesty and community the rich paid you for your work and they think they did what is expected by society...the middle class are the worth ones they think every one owes them something yes just go and figure! at the end of the day I never got to be a wealthy person but I Am rich in other aspects of my life and I Am loved and respected from those people that matter.

I think that more resepect and courtesy is given to the wealthy and the rich. we are in a society where it seems that wwalth is earning power to be given respect easily.

LOL, I really wish I could answer that from expeience but I really can not...I have never had much experience being around rich people...and if I have I would have to disagree with you because the people I've been associating with certainly know that I am not rich...and theynhave treated me the same...

Hi friend, some people are in this sort, not every one like this. Smart people always gives importance to the characters and kindness of a person, they don't give importance to the money and social status.

How did you know that they thought you were rich? Did they ask you your bank account savings? Were you wearing flashing diamonds, with sapphire and emerald? Were you wearing Gucci and carrying Hermes or Chanel bag? I just wonder what made you conclude that they thought that you are a rich girl? just really wondering....

Actually, it really happens and I think many young people nowadays wants to befriended those who are rich and influential and that idea really is not good at all! When I was in college or shall I say when I was a student, my classmates and schoolmates and my teachers respects me well not because I am rich but because I am smart and I know some other student knows me and seeking for my help because they think of me as a source of help. I gained many friends and even I didn't finished my college, they are still my friends. My point is that anyone can gain respect because he/she is respected and of course everyone needs to respect anyone whether he/she is rich or not.
