Yeah status is good... you should strive to have something stick out about you. Maybe you're the QB on varsity football, track star, or balla.
HS girls want a guy that is known for something, has status. I'm lucky all the popular guys I was friends with since middle school so we are tight. When you hang with the top, your name gets around to girls w/o you even knowing it. It was weird, cause some of my guy friends were telling me how so and so was commented on me and I was like who the f*ck is that?
If you're in sports, and you're good (besides warming the bench) it's good cause during announcements, they'll announce your name to the whole damn school.
The football players wear their jersey to school, and I know this kid on varsity who used to get no attention but now he gets a lot from girls just coming up to him wishing him good luck and stuff. I'm in basketball, so I don't know what we'll be wearing on game days this year... hopefully something flashy.
If you're not in sports, have a knack for something... like a good artist, musician, wearing nice clothes, being funny, always smiling, something like that... Cause when girls talk to their friends they want something interesting they can describe about you.
Just a thought,
