I was just thinking this, and in my high school at least, the most popular kids are those who play lacrosse and hockey and football.. i play none of these and I dont get all the ladies like they seem to do.. I think its possible to be a DJ without being an athlete but what do you think?

It is....and if you don't play a sport, I'd start working on me. Maybe girls don't find you attractive cause you're ugly? Maybe it's because you're a nerd? A nice guy? You have to have some fish bite.

If you just want popularity, be funny, or become huge (muscular). Get to know the popular people.....but don't become their *****es.


But who cares about popularity?

No dude, in order to be a DJ you absolutely must be an athlete.

/sarcasm off

Being good at a sport really helps. Not only gets the attention of girls, but also gets respect from the guys. And it is great fun :)

Its possible to get a girl with out playing a sport, but they are of great help in a number of ways:

1. it can get you into groups that more girls hang out in.

2. it can get a girl to notice you because of what she saw or heard what you do.

3. some girls will come up and talk to you about the sport your playing, which can get you an opening to talk yourself up and get her to like you

4. there actualy a pretty good confidence booster.
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

1. right, in my old school i became popular after a week of school, although i had just moved to that city and i knew nobody... luckily, some senior approached me and we became friends, then it became easier and easier to get to know new people. anyway, even though it was cool that everybody knew who i was, i was known to be a clown (it's the only way you can become popular as a freshman... if u r funny and make the older people laugh with your jokes and your sarcasm) and nobody took me seriously and many people made fun of me.

2. exactly, now i moved to another high school in the same city, and although some people know my name (they got friends in my old school who talked to them about me), i'm not popular at all

3. right, since you want to do what other popular guys do (that is usually drinkin:))

4. i don't agree with this. i've joined my new school 4 months ago and i've already been approached by like 10 girls, that is more than i was approached in 4 months in my old school... i think popularity doesn't matter with chicks' quality, since the ones that approach you are usually the 5-6... either if you are popular or unknown, don't expect a 8 to approach you (well, it appears rarely in my experience, not more than 5 times in my whole high school career)


anyway, popularity is reeeeeeally good when it comes to friends, since lots of guys want to get to know you, in order to check out why you are so well-known... and you get lots of friends to hang out with...

the conclusion? don't strive to be popular, but if it happens, well, enjoy it and approach some 9s...

Disagree, I became friends with seniors when I was in 9th grade by A.) baseball, B.) getting involved at school, and C.) friends and brothers friends.
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

In high school I played hockey, volleyball, basketball and I really didn't feel that special. I mean, it didn't increase my chances of becoming more popular but, I did fit in with the other "popular" people. Even now in university, I still work out and play basketball and it helps a great deal with my confidence and how I present myself.

Do you have to be an athlete to be a Don Juan?

No. Athletes are often arrogant insecure immature *******s. But many are cool and have met many people through their athletic carriers. Being athletic is only one way to gain fame. The kids who get the most attention are the ones that can hold the attention of others at parties or in class. Theater kids are often good at this but are also crave attention. This seems to me like an insecure weakness. If you can play in a band that'll help a lot too, especially if you are good. But don't be a band wannabe and suck at it. That'll hurt more than help. If sports are not your thing, just play one that you really like and do something else. Try anything that you are passionate in, but above all, I think personality and being interesting are most important. Having famous quotes helps. The "coolest" kids often get to be where they are by being unique at the same time without being "werid." You have to balence these things. The best way to do this, as with most other things is by watching other people who are generally accepted as being "cool." But don't become a poser. That'll make things worse. Be involved in stuff and always have something to say on Monday when the question of "what did you do this weekend?" come up.
