Who else tried to become a "cool kid" before realizing it was looks?

[Fontaine]

As a teen, between 11 and 16, I desperately tried to be cool. I started to imitate the cool kids (music, clothing, etc) but felt I never really belonged, and was rejected a few times by them. A few years later, I remembered that they all had higher-than-average physical attractiveness, and were actually doing some pretty uncool things (like listening to very old hard rock music) while managing to stay cool doing it

 

[KillingJoke]

Does edgelording count? They kept me around to laugh at how stupid I was in middle school kek. I thought we were all friends and that I made it.

 

[Heightframeface]

This hits home. People just ignore what I do or say because I'm like dust in the wind

They kept me around out of pity at the beginning, but near the end of middle school - - probably because they were horny and I was harming their reputation with girls - - they "whacked" me mafia-style.

 

[Captvic]

Yup I tried to hang out with the popular kids in middle school and high school by sitting with them at lunch. Surprisingly they let me sit with them but they never initiated conversation with me

 

[Voluntary_celibate]

i tried to be cool. i used to tug my shirt all the time while saying "im awesome" thinking i'd create an identity for myself. i overheard roasties making fun of me for it and stopped trying to do anything after that

 

[Deleted member 6501]

no, and i'm glad i didn't, I already knew everything was revolved around looks from a young age

 

[TomathonClancy]

Never even bothered. Curries can never be cool in this country, only mogged.

 

[uglylifematters]

i remember when i tried.

i had my mom spend 200 on jordans and everything.

but that only made it more obvious i was compensating

 

[Deleted member 1039]

That was me in middle school, I stopped when i realized they didnt give a fuck about me and that I'd never get in with them. I hate thinking back to that time, how much shit I would try and do to impress them, just pathetic. And yeah it was about looks, but also it was about status too. There were like 3 ugly popular people and it was because they had high status whether it was because of being a sports star or because they were friends with the cool kids since elementary school or something. Everytime there was a goodlooking new kid to the school he would be INSTANTLY popular within a few days and would literally have a girlfriend within the first 3 days. Middle school is what really blackpilled me.

 

[Weirdcel]

Never even bothered.

Haha, yeah. I remember when i would get the new jordans or nike's that came out and the popular kids would treat me with respect for a day, than the next day they would go back to bullying me.

You were basically a poor peasant allowed at the High King's table out of charity, lmao

 

[Deleted member 6537]

I never did, personally. I always found myself to be different from everyone and never talked much, I just kinda sat in my own world and daydreamed.

This too. I would sit their trying to be a part of the conversation but they would rarely even respond to me, JFL. I cant believe how much of a beta bitch i use to be back then, i cant stop cringing.

yeah thats pretty much how it went for me as well lol

 

[notsexstarved]

Tried it, wasted probably almost a million dollars doing it. Stupid.

One thing I did was buy a wake-board boat and tried to get that 'lake life' type scenario going, getting chicks out on the boat for water activites. People show up to ride, but when it's time to fuck, the usual excuses come out.

 

[starystulejarz]

story of my life

 

[IronMike]

I tried to be cool all the way up to age 22 when I was blackpilled

Wasted nearly $1500 dollars on shoes and clothes, mainly shoes

 

[Deleted member 3291]

nope never once in my life, since elementary school i had been an outcast and still am.

Guilty as charged.

Almost anything you do if you're good looking seems "cool" because the looks halo is so powerful.

Opposite if you're ugly.

Took me a long time to see and accept that.

 

[ordinaryotaku]

That was for me, but only in middle school. I actually used to be really popular in elementary.

 

[UnfortunatelyINCEL98]

i was ostrasized and bullied i was never / couldnt be cool i was mentally ill then and now / however i was a decent guy to talk to never made fun of people because that shit damaged me and acted the same nice with everyone but all that shit got me is hurt / so now i still treat people with respect i am just distanced now knowing shit is the way it is because im ugly

 

[Gremlincel]

 

[Robtical]

The only way to be cool in the west as a sub6 is to be very funny, a thug, a genius, or high status.

 

[Deleted member 5653]

I have always been self aware, I knew I couldnt be cool or popular so I never bothered. Probably saved myself from embarasment.

 

[Deleted member 60]

I'm still a cool kid, haters gonna hate

 

[Darthmat]

Guilty as charged.

In elementary school I tried to play the class clown for attention and just got my ass kicked and bullied. It took two Middle School to realize nobody respected me and by 8th grade I just stop giving a shit which health is I started fighting back against people that bothered me and people learn to stop bullying me but hey you still don't get pussy for it.

 

[Hunter]

i did at the beggining of year 8(grade7), my autism mainly held me back though, dunno where i was on the looks scale as a preteen.

 

[Falling]

Joke's one me, I actually bought a guitar. Haha...

 

[TheLivingFailure]

I tried socializing with the cool kids once. Got labeled as a school shooter which doesn't make any sense considering you can't get guns in my country the idiots.

Lol

 

[FlyFace]

I got bullied into oblivion trying to suck up to the "cool kids".. it ended when I finally went berserk and kicked the shit out of a kids ankle.. funniest thing is that they never messed with me again after that.. they left me alone to really think about things. Every lunch time it was the same, complete isolation in that room, that was filled with sneers and hate previously, now filled with nothing but thin air. Nobody there, but my thoughts flew at an impressive rate, thoughts about everything, now, yesterday, tomorrow, what should be, what shouldn't be, all of it. The understanding I gained was almost worth dying inside for.. almost.

People know what you are all about. You can't fake what you are not. It's like they can sense the weakness and fear from within you. You can observe the same pattern in the animal king dom where weak and unsuitable iindividuals will get killed or driven off the pack. As murder is frowned upon in sapien society normans will ostracize you as punishment for being genetically inferior,

 

[Hardworkingcel]

I tried to be "cool" sometimes in middle school. But social anxiety made it all look unnatural. So I realize I was going to be the uncool weird guy for the rest of my education. I gave up.

 

[TheJoker]

The 'cool guys' are definitely defined by their looks. You will notice if you get into a group discussion with a chad group, they will all turn their banter/demeaning nature towards you. The same happens within the work place. What is interesting I find, is looks do not mean toughness. A lot of girls think a good looking guy who 'thinks hes tough' is actually percieved as more tougher than a incel who is actually tough. I find this myth quite hilarious. Everyone has known him... the good looking guy who pretends to be tough. His only goal is to demean you and show the world he is better than you.

I saw a fight between an incel and a good looking guy with a stacy last week. The good looking guy started on the incel, yet when he got beat up by the incel everyone claimed the incel was the aggressor. I think the world is definitely against incels (including the government) and this explains all of the negative reactions we incels get in everyday life.

 

[Ub2w]

Basically me

 

[Brainlet]

Never attempted to be cool. I lost most of my friends because they were desperate to seem 'cool' and started hanging out with popular kids. I just thought it was pathetic. I wasn't going to lick Chad's arsehole all of a sudden and be a beta bitch boy fighting over scraps just to look 'cool'.

 

[TheOnlyWei]

I never really cared about that. I moved around a lot until we finally settled when I was like 14. I found my niche of friends, other guys who didn't have girlfriends, and we did our own thing.
There were kids who tried to bullied me but that backfired for them.

 

[VST]

All the cool kids liked me when I was a teen, I was just too autistic to get a gf.

 

[Izayacel]

Once cared now dont

 

[InebriatedIrish]

Nope. I was always my own thing, the loud obnoxious “class clown” that the cool kids either watched in amusement or ignored. I didn’t get bullied, so I’m grateful for that. Everyone either thought I’d be a serial killer or a crazy “redneck,” as the Americans call them.

 

[Deleted member 3129]

i gave up all hope and knew it was about something i had no control over when i was 12

 

[DokiDokiKurama]

I always tried to copy the skater kids, they seemed cool enough. and on principal I never shoot for top of the hierarchy.

Everything is against ugly people.
