I have encountered people that are really a social climber and most of them are ladies. So what do you think about them? As what I've observed they are kind of people who has low self esteem and inferiority that is why as part of defense mechanism they really tend mingle with rich and class people to look great about themselves. More so they are kind of person that would want to feel with others that you have a gap between you and her, aside that she wants to let you feel that you are not accepted to her because you are not in the same level. Case to case basis there are others that are taking advantage of rich people so that they could use the money of their friends and they believe they have other benefits when they are being with rich friend. Most likely they are snobbish who feels they are too beautiful that would want to discriminate other people and put them down. Unfortunately the people we know that are social climber are our relatives. My cousins doesn't want to talk with me or even accept to their group. Of course when I was a kid I am being sad of what they did. But when I became more matured I realized that they are not worth of my life. I don't want to please them and it is not also safe if they are going to accept you in their circle. They are not a good influence more so they are discriminating and insulting to each other as well so what is the sense? They don't appreciate other people unless they are rich that they could take advantage of it. So I could imagine myself that I am a successful woman with plenty of money or a rich then probably I will not surprise if they are already friendly to me. At least now I know how to deal with them and ready to ignore their dirty tactics.

Thanks God I don't meet many social climbers in my life. I know some, but I'm not very close to them and never hope to get close to them. if ever they bothered me in any way, i would just ignore them. i would let them just play around with their rich friends until they got kicked off someday by their own rich friends.
moreover, actually i feel pity to this kind of person. because they seem to need money so much that they can't appreciate any more things other than money itself. they are willing to do anything to be accepted by rich friends. but according to my observation, this kind of people will usually stay poor as they used to be and are taken advantage by their rich friends to do this and that for them. like servants. how pathetic life like that is.

I have a cousin that is not really in poor community. She married the rich guy as she wants. But guess what? They are not always in good terms as her husband tends to do verbal abuse against my cousin. 
But before that she has her long time boyfriend that is also rich and about to married since they have been engaged. He even gave diamond ring when having the proposal in front of her parents. 
Wow what a show? Only to find out he did physical abuse to my cousin and stolen some amount from their joint account in bank. That is what she got for being a social climber that she ever thought her life would be a heaven and fairytale when she is going to marry a rich man. 
That is what she also got from discriminating other people of course including me as a simple and normal person. She didn't even bother to invite all the maids to her wedding that were been the staff of our grandmother in store when we were not yet born. Only to realized that at least it is only one day of feeling frustrated of what she did while to her it will be the big consequences to her life. I know she wouldn't be smart enough to realized her repercussions.

As it says that money couldn't buy all things, not the happiness, love, sincerity, humility, honesty and trust from other people. Even the true friendship money couldn't buy that. She is actually a Cumlaude of Georgetown University as she brags about it but then what happen to her common sense? She tends to fool other people when it comes to money.

oh I'm so sorry to hear that. she should have had known that her climber acts would result in painful situations like this. however, this is a good lesson for us. let's work hard to be rich. money obtained quickly will usually be quickly gone as well:)

Hello
Metatronik,
When 
the times of suffering like war and famine occurs, these people won't have a chance of survival because they won't be treated fairly because they didn't do the same with the others. I agree that it's a waste of time going to their "useless" circle because we know it ain't worthed. I think they are even more dangerous than any other ordinary criminal since they're the kind you could easily be fooled with. . becareful with them. it's so sad they have to act that way and should consider treating and loving you as part of the family, i guess in some cases i feel blessed. have a nice day.

Good for you on being blessed. Maybe you don't have any friends or relatives that are like that so no problem with it. They are my first cousins that is the daughters of my father's siblings. At first it was sad on my part that I can't really feel that they are my cousins. It is like they want the feeling that you can't just easily reach them or a hard to reach people. But then I just accept it that they are really like that of escaping the reality. Good thing I have many relatives that are not like that. I am a bit blessed in the sense that they are in USA and not here on our country.

I know a lot of social climber people. I pity these kind of people because they might not know it but it's pretty much obvious that they are trying to be rich even if they really are not. Or they pretend to be someone they are not. Sad thing here is, the people they are using find them really nice and friendly that is why they would easily say yes to whatever the social climber would want or ask. These kind of people should be ignored. They are not doing any good to others as well as for themselves. They won't learn to stand on their own if we continue to look at them as someone who really has power, class or money when in fact they really don't.

Yes they are pathetic who can't even accept who they and the real world. At least I've learned how to ignore those people even if they are my cousins. I don't want to forced myself to a group that is pathetic since they are not good influence at all. Or else I might learned how to loathe myself as well as what they are doing right now.

I simply ignore these kinds of people. They are a waste of time, for they dont know what they really want, what they are after is an illusion only. Good thing i have a strong radar for these types, so I can ignore them politely at once.

I agree, ILLUSION is what they have. Too bad it seems that all throughout their live they need to dream and won't never want to wake up in reality. My boyfriend's neighbor has a boyfriend that is my neighbor who is actually financially stable and rich. They are both graduate of university here that has good reputation. My bf told me that the girl is actually a social climber and to think that she is living in the community that people are not really rich. So therefore she really tends to be snobbish with her neighbors though in reality that is just equally level to her. They are supposed to be married and having their wedding but guess what? 2 days before it was cancelled To think that their wedding must be really fabulous and one of the most expensive. Well that is the consequence for being a social climber.
