Asking this because I have witnessed two instances of this in different friend groups only in Miami and South Florida. I’m not from here but lived here half my life and most friends I have made down here are also transplants.
I have noticed that a people will gravitate to the “rich” friend regardless if they even like the person much or they have a decent personality. I have seen this with and without the rich friend owning a nice boat.
I pretty much am losing a friend because one of her other friends built a new house with a pool that looks good on instagram pictures and the only thing she ever wants to do is hang out at this woman’s house who is otherwise rude, abrasive, and not enjoyable to be around. She even told me herself this person has deep personality issues, causes scenes in public, and is very combative which is why she couldn’t get her boyfriend to marry her after 10 years.
She pretty much only likes this girl because she is rich with a nice house is what I’ve gathered. If she gets drunk and high there she has a bed to crash in. We used to go to restaurants together or even spend time in my condo or her apartment which is nice but not as instagramble as the other friends house. Now she behaves as if everything is beneath her and she has no interest in hanging out anywhere (nice restaurant, beach, working out) except this rich girls house! It’s not a mansion it’s an unfinished house that will be worth 2-2.5 mil when it’s done.
I get invited to the house by this friend but I just don’t get losing a whole personality and interests because you have a newly renovated house to drink wine in.
I have also seen this with a guy who has a yacht and his social circle just everything revolved around his house and his yacht even though the guy had zero personality and inherited all his money and no one his friends seemed to actually like him or have anything in common with him.
Is this just how it is in south Florida and was I just friends with the wrong people?
