This is a tactic for popularity, im not sure if it has already been posted, and it may seem obvious to many of you. I just happened to remember how i pulled it off in the 3rd grade.... so this is a rather simple strategy.
Let's say there is a group of guys who are "popular" and you would like to join their group. Much of the time, groups like this seem to not be accepting others to hang with them. Easy problem, with a simple answer. Now if one of the group members seems to be more accepting of people, what you do is go up in meet him... This is assuming that you dont already have a geeky nerd loser reputation with the whole grade (if you do have that then you will need to scratch that before you attempt this because he might blow you off no matter how accepting).
Day by day talk to the guy more and get to know him, if he really is accepting, he will start responding positively. Once this occurs, you go over and sit by him at lunch once. Make up an excuse to sit down and your new aquiantence should have no problem. This is your chance to meet the rest of the group.
Whip out your self confidence and make these guys laugh, get them intrested in you because you can entertain them... Dont do it too much though because you will want to drop this act soon or you will become a lonely following "jester".
They should start to accept you little by little and soon enough they will not mind your company. This can easily turn into frienships.
Thats a simple verson as this can get much more complicated. You might have to jump from an aquintence of the "group" to a member of a group... Or there could be even more steps involved.
It's just a simple idea and i thought it might be intresting as this was how i got popular going into 4th and im doing fine where i am now.
Once you start to befriend though, start to drop the attention grabbing jokes, because over time they will get annoying and you will be thought of as a zeta male (yes worse than alpha and beta.. if there is a such thing). Might be intresting to some of you. I understand if you dont like to use people but you wont be if you dont ditch the people you hop from.
