I'm very popular where I live because of who my son is.
My son didn't aim for popularity he aimed for success and succeeded tenfold because he's mum didn't bother with dating or forums she focused on supporting her fabulous son instead of herself.

Bearwoman: I'm pretty sure that my oldest son does respect.
I think as we get older, we all want to be respected, for at least:- wisdom, but life and times, r changing, and so r value structures, as the kids of today, r way different to us oldies...….

Bearwoman: In some ways my son and I are the same in regards to most things and different in others but that is fine with me. Wouldn't want it to be any other way. He's always made me proud of him even when he'd mess up didn't love him any less.
He's now getting back on his feet after a long battle with some personal stuff and found a career in the medical field working with children.
Yes, I know the feeling, I have 2, that keep me on my feet 24/7.....I cannot imagine life without them tho…., and want no replacements either....I love them just the way they r, and will never prescribe to them either....as we r all different, and have the right to be ourselves....

Let_Us: Yes. You're right, Snookie! We're ALL individuals, with different likes and dislikes. But, in speaking on "popularity", I'm not speaking theoretically!
I have had a long hard week, I'm not looking for any more "Advice" today, Thanx.....

ChesneyChrist: What we aim for is to a great extent vain, accoridng to the father of capitalism the point of working is basically to impress other people and aspire to have what they have. God knows where this leaves this people not motivated by envy, but I digress.
Anyway the aim is often to be popular or to degrade most of the human race because you're not popular - you're not popular but for some reason this makes you the cut above. If being popular isn't open to you then elitism rears its head. Vanity will always find an outlet in either the populism or elitism or a combination of the two.
