Let’s admit it, a lot of people love
compliments and social media has been one way to get them for some us.
Thus, photos of food, clothes, faces
and even bodies– all things that we can brag about are posted on social
networking sites. Now, people has begun pointing fingers who are social
climbers and who are not. This even brought attention to a meme that I bet
you’ve stumbled upon one time:
Take these few points to spot the
people who take advantage of social media in order to promote themselves and fit
in a social class that they are trying to climb.
1. Taking photos of clothing lines
when malling yet they won’t buy from them.
2. Taking photos while engaged in an expensive hobby, claiming that it is their
hobby though they’ve done it only once.
3. Taking photos while using different amenities in expensive places.
4. Taking pictures of expensive food in fine diners before eating (or not).
5. Posing with clothes tried in dressing rooms, yet they didn’t buy.
6. Using accessories that they deem expensive even though they don’t match
their overall get up.
7. Having penchant for class A imitations of luxury items like bags, shoes, eye
wear and perfumes, then post them as if they’re from somebody abroad to give
the hint of authenticity.
8. Taking pictures of houses or condo units that are not even theirs.
9. Putting on as much expensive make up testers as possible, then takes a
selfie while plugging the brand.
10. Posing beside cars in a parking area without disclaiming that it isn’t
theirs.
The list would go on.
If you will notice, most of these are
done also by people who simply want to capture a rare moment such as spotting a
house that you would like to own someday, or a racing car that had been your
long time dream, or a once in a lifetime chance to gain access in a five-star
hotel, or dining in a place where stars would flock, etc. But what makes social
climbers different from persons who simply want to document special events in
their life?
Social climbers claim it as their
life style even if it’s not. And take note that life style isn’t achieved
overnight. It is filled with routines, regular occurrences, and common
preferences that comprise one’s personal choices on how to live their life. If
somebody has this kind of lifestyle, these would be so common to them that they
won’t bother documenting; because it occurs often anyway. Social climbers try
so hard to fit in a social group they keep on chasing, thinking that they can
fool netizens with their ridiculous display of pretense.
Are you a social climber? Do you know
one?
