The Social Climber

The Social Climber. What does it mean? Well let me read it from the dictionary..

According to the dictionary, a social climber is a person who attempts to gain admission into a group with a higher social standing.

So the dictionary says that if you "social climb," you are trying to get this social level with the help of some companions. Hmm... TRUE!

Now let's hear it from the people around the net..

One person said that, a social climber is a person who finds the need to blow you off for a person of higher social status than you.

So like if you are called by your friends, and you are with your "better friends," you will ignore your friends because you're a social climber! Have you done that? I've done that a couple of times!!!

Another person said that, a social climber is a person who tries to seek social acceptance either through:

1.) the expense of someone else - you try to fit into someone's world even if you have to endure figuring out things unfamiliar with you, just because that someone, has a nice car, is a son of a rich businessman, and speaks good english!
2.) the use of obsequious behavior - you try to be the good samaritan and run errands for your target, for him to think that you easy-to-be-with and obedient, so the blessings will all come down to you!
3.) "forced" companionship - you have been introduced to a campus superstar by a common friend, then you get the superstar's contacts and try to be with her all the time!

Another one said that a social climber is a person who will stop at nothing to achieve one thing and one thing alone: Popularity. In others words, high social status. This person will go to any extent to gain "cooler" friends, and they disregard the fact that karma will bight them in the ass later...

He said it very well.



Whatever one's definition is, social climbers don't care. We enjoy being called categorized as a social climber. It's our way of expressing our selves.


People say that in order to be accepted by the society, be true to yourself. But what can I do? THIS IS THE REAL ME! The real me is fake.
