C&F generally makes people look up to you because they have no way of really knowing if you're being genuine or not. For example, I just make ****y outrageous comments with a hint of truth in them when I'm just hanging out with my buddies and we all have a good laugh after I say it.
But when something big happens, I show them I walk the walk and talk the talk and they're like, "damn he's got his **** together." As I've said before, it's good to throw in once in a while as a "topping" but it can't be the bulk of your behavior because it gets anooying.
