My theory on popular teens.

Definition of “popular teen” - Prepy
The cool kids.

My theory is that every popular teen is 3% homosexual. Now that may sound wrong but hear me out..

Have you ever seen a popular guy be friends with an acne faced guy? No. They hang out with other good looking guys. They are automatically attracted to one another because of the way they look. Now im not saying sexually but still.. And it cant be because they are in common activities, ie* Football, there’s acne faced boys in that sport and they aren’t friends with the cool kids who play. Same goes with the gals. Take cheerleading, the cool girls don’t hang out with the other members who are well.. Fat.. They’re attracted to the good looking members and are more likely to hang out with them.

So in closing, my theory is that all popular teens are at least 3% gay. Heh.. Or 3% bi.. Either way..

Did that make sense? Im a lil stoned..

What do you think of what I had to say?

It is quite possibly true, I was already under the impression that they were generally complete and utter tits who congregtate together by some ironic and malevolent compelling force, to ruin the lives of others for as long a period as possible. :mad:

Or they could be stacking their social statuses with others by looking even cooler when hanging out with 'cool kids'.

Thankfully my high school doesn't care about looks. It's all in the fact whether you're a nice person or not.

What I got out of that was this:

"I'm a spotty dude/fat girl, who's bitter because no-one likes me. So I'm going to say all the popular kids are gay, because this would put me one step closer to being one of them."

Your stoned, I'm an asshole. Ain't life fun? :p

How the hell is anyone "3% gay"? Are their toes gay or something?

Thats not a theory, it's a random splicing together of words which sound good to you stoned.

Sorry bud, the "cool kids" associate with either kids they think would bolster their own image by being seen with or kids who have charisma.

It's okay, though, not everyone can be cool.

3% gay would mean "basically hetero with slight homosexual leanings"

And for the original poster: You can tell if someone is good looking without being attracted to them. Plus, better looking guys are more likely to be popular, which might be what they're looking for.

'Preps' at my school were extroverted, permanently happy (at least on the outside), artificial, and ignorant. I just disregard anyone with one or more of those qualities, as those people are normally very annoying and/or uninteresting.

Well, leaving aside the idea that i don't believe you can quantify your sexuality in percentage points...

So, all of humanity then?

How you doin'? ;)

This may make sense in some schools. Not mine. Most the popular men are ugly. Most of the popular girls are ugly.

Or am I just biased?

How you doin'? ;)

(If you're male)

Umm, yeah, good. Yeah, umm

LOOK BEHIND YOU!!


(If you're female)

Umm, yeah, good. Yeah, umm

Wanna fuck?

Well, not the lesbians.

Yeah, sorry, lets rephrase that: "all of straight humanity"

God, it's the most puerile "theory" i have ever read. And i've read the theory behind "Intelligent Design"

preps are plastic people who would have no opinion if someone shut off there mtv

There just stupid.

Hanging out with ugly people makes you look far more attractive.

If they're plastic, does that mean that they have karate chop action? What about flexible limbs? Can you bring their feet up to the backs of their heads?
Aside, I'd have to say the idea of 3% gay is pretty, odd. Really, do people have precise percentages? Is there a test for this? If so, how will it affect admittance to various groups? What about drama societies:
"I'm sorry sir, but you only scored a 12% gay score, that is just 3% (OMG! 3% again!) to short. Why don't you try wearing this boa for a bit?"

Total bollocks. All it is, is that nobody ever gained street cred being 'the guy who hangs around with the fat kid' and guys hang around other good looking guys so they can pull good looking girls.

they actually do have an (internet) test to see if you're gay

Okay, just a thought, but might that not work better ifthey hung around good looking girls (or even mediocre girls, who will be easier and more eager ;) )

There just stupid.


Me like irony!

you need to go smoke some more, bro :)

Luckily I went to a high school where, by 11th grade, there really weren't enough kids there to have a clique.

But I still think preppy gays are 3% (or possibly more) gay. Then again, I think that any guy that where's a pink A&F polo and flip flops in public is gay, so I may be jaded.

Have you ever seen a popular guy be friends with an acne faced guy? No.

what? of course i have. where do you live? an early 90's american sitcom? the popular guys i knew didn't all look attractive aesthetically. and i thought the whole gay thing was 10% :p

There are studies that show that no-one is a 100% gay or straight, everyone is somewhere in between (to be clear, I would define myself as straight) It makes sense though, wouldn't it?
I mean, some people are usually stright but then fall in love with someone of the smae sexe, just one time, so, 3% would be quite few

How the hell is anyone "3% gay"? Are their toes gay or something?


That is perhaps one of the funniest replies ever.

In addition, "popular kids" are the most sad people imaginable, clinging to money, fine clothes and so-called friends, always having to thin k of their image, urggg, I wouldn't want to live like that.
My plan is: always act stupid and weird, that way everything else you do seems positive :p . I love being a social reject

All this thread shows is that there are a lot of angry, bitter and jealous un-popular kids :p :D

"My plan is: always act stupid and weird, that way everything else you do seems positive . I love being a social reject "

well i am a popular teenager and i say that's dumb.

i feel so much better about my school after reading this thread.we dont have socail groupings like that,sure there are groups of people that hang out together more than with others,but its not exclusive in any way,(one can easily sit and talk with others that dont usually socialise in your group).nor is it based on looks.nor on sporting ability.nor intelligence.in fact its basically people hanging out with their friends.


preps.pfft.how american.

what? of course i have. where do you live? an early 90's american sitcom?

ROTFLMAO

wow there seems to be allot of rejects on NS :p

and no people don't hang with kids with acne because spots are disgusting (as are fat cheerleaders!) it's simple really be "safe", funny and (in most NSer's case) go outside you will make friends easy :) (question: who else has a school infested with skaters and emo’s at the moment?)

"My plan is: always act stupid and weird, that way everything else you do seems positive . I love being a social reject "

Woah, we have someone amongst us who is not a social reject! I'm a teenager who is somewhat of a social reject myself, but I usually just ignore the popular people, unless I'm making fun of them with my friends.

I would have thought more than 3% homosexual, maybe 10%.

How can you be 3% gay? If you are a guy and like just guys, you are gay. If you like guys and girls, you are bi. If you like just girls, you are straight. There is no such thing as '3%'.

Just a side note. Being a "skater" now seems to mean that you shop at West 49 or Pac West and look like a skater. Most of these "skaters" don't actually skate. It's something I noticed that bothers me after having "retired" from skating (a degenerative disk will do that).

As far as emo's. That isn't a word. Being in a band labeled emo (I'm not sure why), and having been an emo kid, I know the reference is emo kid, not emos. Just a point of data for you to mull.

It's the internet. Duh!! ;)

It's like being slightly gay, you know? Kind of "mostly does girls but would do a guy for enough cash" style of thing. :p

I would call that bi.

I would call that bi.

But it's not the same as bi, really. Bi is not having a preference either way, or at least not much of one.

But it's not the same as bi, really. Bi is not having a preference either way, or at least not much of one.While this isn't the exact wording I would use, and I don't know about the percentages you gave, you're more or less on the right track.

Ok am I the only one who doesn't care? Honestly, if you haven't made it to your senior year in highschool yet then please don't speak cause this hasn't come full term yet. By senior year you should not care, you stop speaking of their social lives (at times instead of going out and making your own), and you should come to this conclusion: They are only as popular as you make them. They have their circle of friends, you have yours. Be friendly and yours will grow. No one really likes the kids on the 'top'. Only reason to speak of them if something insanely funny happens, for example; a guy does his prom date in the ass after the dance and she shats everywhere on the bed, so they get up and leave and then one of the guy's friends comes in and makes out with and then passes out with his date on the same bed (true story). Just be friendly, outgoing and get to know everyone Being right under the top dogs is the most fun. Oh yeah, get to know hockey players, they will throw down when ever is needed and are fun as hell to party with. Also, Frosh year in college everything changes anyhow.

Original poster...

im stoned too and i think youre crazy.

3% Gay wtf?
Being a 'cool kid' as far as i remember was not based on how attractive you were to the opposite sex you were but how... how COOL YOU WERE!

idiot.

Oh and this is just general advice for cool people haters. Dont hate people just because they have more friends than you. Its just they have more social skills. Im sure you've got your own special abilities and strengths that make you a very special person too.

One thing i noticed about the uncool kids. They dismissed the way of life of the cooler kids, as uncool (though they didnt call it 'uncool') much in the same way the cool kids dismissed the way of life of the uncool kids. The difference is more people agree with the cool kids.

Welcome to democracy.

Would sir care for a photograph of myself, or for that matter, the fact that I myself would be considered "popular", simply intelligent enough to discern the characteristics of the general individuals.

Considered popular, talking like that? :D

I've be thrilled 'for a photograph' of yourself :)

It is quite possibly true, I was already under the impression that they were generally complete and utter tits who congregtate together by some ironic and malevolent compelling force, to ruin the lives of others for as long a period as possible. :mad:


I used to think this too, but now I really like the popular kids. They make sure my fries are served piping hot and my groceries are neatly bagged.

'Preps' at my school were extroverted, permanently happy (at least on the outside), artificial, and ignorant. I just disregard anyone with one or more of those qualities, as those people are normally very annoying and/or uninteresting.

sounds like my school but change preps to people

another theory is the brother theory...that if your bro is popular then you are considered popular aswell.but can vary when this prosess stops.


and in my opinion 60-70% of the time it is girls that decide who is popular or not.

US high school survival rule #1:

The best bulletproof vest in the world is to stay out of range.

Seconded.

A little bump, as Chris seems to be around right now.

Nah, when I was back in high school, there were plenty of fucking ugly popular people.

When I have toke-ups/drinking sessions with old friends from back then, it's fun to reminisce...and laugh at the animal resemblances in our old yearbooks.

:p

Disagree. I was part of the "uncool" group, but I had heaps of friends, from a few different groups. Being "uncool" isn't a lack of social skills. It's usually due to alienation on the part of some of the cool people- at my school, to be cool by default meant being good at sports (to a lesser degree, music...and being attractive and female was an immediate winner), while booksmarts kept you out...and the same was true in all the other schools I went to, starting at primary school. The jocks in particular used to hate us (or so their apple-throwing antics, fight picking and random pushing and shoving would suggest), but the emo's were shitheads too. I don't think any of them actually had more friends than me, though....oh, and if their social skills were so great, why have most of their friendships now fallen apart since we finished high school? :p

Well, jocks and emo's are uncool - can anyone dispute that? ;) Some of the popular people I got along with though.

*points to self*

I happened to be one of the popular kids when I went to school... Heh, it still didn't stop the teachers from picking on me :p.

I am 14, and according to a test to determine how gay you are that a friend asked (well... forced) me to take:

I am 8% gay. Which is apparently dangerously low. 3% doesn't suprise me at all.

It's not just in teens, everyone has some bias, whether they like it or not, to the way someone looks.

Yeah, better looking people have a head start - in more than just their social life. If you're good looking you have an advantage when it comes to business and the workplace, amongst others.

Considered popular, talking like that? :D

I've be thrilled 'for a photograph' of yourself :)

I go to private school, and I'm sorry, I was a little drunk....

I used to think this too, but now I really like the popular kids. They make sure my fries are served piping hot and my groceries are neatly bagged.

Does anyone else find that they are alright in a one on one context, only objectionable when in groups?

that's all just based on stereotypes.


but hey, stereotypes are just generalizations based on fact. LOL.
