He was the kind of guy you could look up to. “A real stand up guy,” was how they described him. Gave money to charity, helped out in the community, you could always go to him with a problem. But I knew what he was really like. I knew the dark side of his face he kept hidden.
He’s a well-respected man. I’ve heard that saying. Makes me think of executives. Bosses. Alpha-males. So yes, it makes me think of psychopaths. People who “take charge” of silly things like barbeques and reality shows. First person to vote off the island.

When someone is distinguished enough, and has gained respect from everyone around them. A goal of mine. To be looked up to, and trusted.

What is respectable? Who decides what is respectable? Maybe I’m respectable to some people, but to others, I’m not. It all depends on the person.
Jessica
respectable is a lie. someone is always in a state of being un-respectable. maybe they lied, maybe they cheated, maybe they stole. everything that this world embodies is the task of making oneself appear respectable in the face of the real truth. It’s never true.

I had this word yesterday!! Why are you bothering me with it again?! Oh, wait, maybe that was because it was after 12:00 am… probably. I don’t know. I was not respectable just then because I was shouting at a computer.

one strives to be one.one hopes to become one.a life lead in such manner can lead to such great power?
So, he dresses in a suit. He holds doors open for ladies. And always smiles at strangers. You know, the kind of thing you think is respectable Easy, then, to be the devil in disguise. I’d hide my horns if I were him too.
Respectable smacks of “doing what’s expected” and – to me – carries an implicit message that people are judging my actions. If I am respectable within a given circle, then certainly I am behaving as they would have me behave rather than being authentic.
Respectabable is a word most people often use to describe me. I am a very respectabable man, well-groomed and gentlemanly. I don’t much care for those un-respectabable types. You know the types. Hair all uncut and pants all raggedy and looking like they aren’t any type of respectabable types. Ship them off, I say, and the better for all of us.
Respectability was never a strong suit of mine. I always hit old people. One day this old dude hit me back and I was all like “Woah, this guy is tough”. We went out for a bagel and he got light cream cheese. Fucking Pussy. Waterloo.

a respecble woman. what my mommy always raised me to be. several resort to calling it snobbery I’m not trying to be arrogant or anything. I’m just practicing what I’ve always been taught to do.
I want to grow up to be someone who is considered respectable. I want to be trustworthy and dependable and just be someone who is known as a person you can lean on and who is always there for you. That, to me, is a respectable person.
I believe myself to be a respectable person. I think people respect me. I do nice things for people and always try to treat other with respect, hoping they will respect me back. Others don’t respect me and don’t have a proper reason for it. I know a lot of people who believe themselves to be respectable, but really aren’t.
Anon
To me, a respectable person is someone who has earned that adjective with class, kindness and compassion for others..
Linda
As in how do I look……respectable. Was that a good dish? It was respectable. Adequate is another work that comes to mind. It a respectable word. I guess I don’t have a lot of faith in respectable. I want to be fabulous….not respectable.
Trish
respectable is something that is earned. you earn it by being a role model. you have to appeal to a younger (or older) generation and make them want to be like you. That is respect.
james
able to be respected, having qualities demanding respect, a person to be respected, agreeable, good.
Connor
A respectable amount of time has passed and you still haven’t made it quite yet. How much more do I have to wait around and show patience? I hope not for another 8 months.
How do I want to look? I questioned myself as I looked in the mirror. Respectable. Clean nails. Neat clothes. Respectable. Don’t walk over me. Respectable for a new start.
person, one that you look to as deserving of your time and attention
thing, not offensive in anyway or something that is quite great
place, an alright location but could be better though there is no reason to doubt the merits
anyone or anything that deserves something, don’t take from this just give and learn

It must have been the authority. The dominance in him that made my knees go weak and my mouth get dry. He was the boss and even more. I was sure. But still, he was the respectable department manager and I was just a foolish cleaner, it could’ve never worked out. Such a shame.
one strives to be one.one hopes to become one.a life lead in such manner can lead to such great power?

honest, reliable and real. worthy and valuable. rare and deeply necessary. not enough men and women possess this quality. the world would be a much better place if we practiced respect. desirable.

How I tried – to be respectable! I had the nice house and nice marriage and nice children and I was oh so bored! Managed to extricate myself without anyone being completely destroyed by it, but it was still not idea -now i live how i need to.

I find women more respectable than men…the most influential people in my life have been women. Why do they seem to be more respectable? There is a purity of purpose I suppose…or is that naive?
In the end of the day a respectable woman passed the trash heap. She was disgusted and dismayed at the lack of cleanliness. She called to the man to clean it up but he looked away and thought nothing of her yelling. So odd, she thought that no one be as respectable as she. She knew better then to heap trash out for all to see. She packed hers in boxes and cans leaving it tidy at the end of her property. No one to know just what her cast offs looked like.

Respectable is what people want to be. I feel it is respectable to try one’s best.
My grandfather died of Altzheimer’s disease. When he was in the hospital in his last illness, the strongest word he would say was “golly!” He was polite to a fault. Even when he was dying, he remained a respectable man.

a person is respectable not because he/she imposes that he/she has to be respected. it’s the other way around.

Arettha franklin. I want to be respectable, there are some people that aren’t but think they are I thnik haviing respect for myself, i want to be proud of myself and with others like my fmaily proud of me not to be a dissapointment, I mean I wanna be a good person with morals.

What’s the point in being respectable when you could be extraordinary? Who wants old men in tuxedos shaking their hand and saying, “I respect you,” when you could have those same old men shitting their pants because you’re incredible?
Respectable? What is it to be resepctable? Many try to achieve it, few succeed, though few may give the illusion of being respected. Is it to be admired, adored? Or feared.
Molly
“Well . . . well, that’s just not respectable, wandering around with mismatched socks and frazzled hair sticking up all over. You look homeless and you darn well know it. It-it’s just not respectable!” he protested.
The respectable young woman strolled casually down the board walk, glancing over her shoulder as she went. For having the admiration of the whole town and surrounding communities, she was acting slightly suspicious. However, no one said a word. Her causal strut become faster and faster as she sensed someone following close behind.

a term that has social connatation, but rey how respectable you take yourself to be is all matters. our cultures ways of assigning resptability denotes a sacre of integrity. but ading to Therou there is much more life and s-respectabito be had.

A Respectable spectacle… would never touch you with a pair of tongs… put you on a pedestal… point, stare, laugh in shock- wide-eyed, call my friends, jump up and down, it’s, it’s news, I’ve finally met the respectable foreigner on the pedestal… now I can go tell everyone about him.
