No, you're right, it's true.
Depending on who you associate yourself with, you will have a certain status as viewed by others.
If you associate yourself with high-status individuals, you share in that, and vice versa.
The thing here is, we don't seek to form an alliance with anyone for the sake of possibly having a higher status.
If we're going to form an alliance with someone, it's because we like them, nothing else.
