Let's be honest; Most people network in order to gain something--period. That something is wealth(an individual who is wealthy can be financially wealthy, good genes--yes I will take that over money, or has something of value(teach me?) the Networker desires.) I have a sister who lived her life networking before it had a title. Yes, she is financially successful, but no one really likes her--that includes ex-husbands, "friends", and I think, her kids are losing respect every year they age? That's the networking I grew up with. This new type of networking--where the objective is finding friends; I think is wonderful. I just don't see it. The networking I see is still ugly, and so obvious. Good luck, I personally couldn't stomach it.
