How popular do you think you are and what "group" do you hang out with

Nowadays I only have a few friends. Because meeting new people and going through the whole "getting to know 'em" thing is alot of bother. I assume this thread is aimed at the school experience...I'll comply. I wasn't popular, as much as notorious. For good or bad, everyone knew who I was.
I didn't think that people like that really existed outside of the world of "Clueless". Sounds horrid.T-Bone24 said:
As for me, popular doesn't really come into it because generally I'm pretty disocial, I've had the same handful of chums since high school pretty much and I'm not really interested in going out and making new pals.
I'm not really down on all this clique lingo, can someone answer me a question? What do you call those kids who walk around with tight trousers with their arse hanging out, big ugly high top basketball shoes and (I say this with as much contempt as humanly possible) hair STYLED to make it look like they just got out of bed? I've been calling them 80's Kids but I know that can't be right because they were clearly born in the early 90's and they've never even heard of Miami Vice...
They make me angry.
I'm popular as in people know who I am and like me. I'm not one of those guys who are good at sports, is rich or anything that makes people popular. I'm usually either pushed into the "cute-emo-boy" group despite the fact that I am not emo, or the "gamer" group.
I don't really hang out with a 'group', though the two people I see most often are A) a female new-age hippie meets cute bunny and B) a sporty-type girl that's really about as 'average' as you can get; not ugly nor beautiful, not thin nor fat, not wild nor calm and not a chamer nor a shy one.
Back in highshool I was dreadfully unpopular for a long while, which was made worse by my closest friends all changing to a better school in year 9.
At some point towards the end that changed, not really sure why but I think it's directly related to the "girls love assholes" rule (I was accepted by the girls [ie about 50% of the girls in the year decided I wasn't an asshole anymore] a lot faster than I was the guys, and I really didn't/don't have anything in common with them, but without them inviting me out to everything I suspect I wouldn't have become anymore popular), as I was/am a very cynical, judgemental and often harsh person. By the end of year 12 it was amazing how many people were hanging off of my every word, I didn't really have a specific group of people I hung around with, rather I seemed to be friends with about half the year and just changed who I was hanging around depending on how I felt.
Since I got to uni I've been surprisingly popular, guess most engineers like the same kind of humor, and are drawn to my loud, heavy drinking ways (I really doubt it was that I had girls talking to me as we only have one girl in my course and I ignored her for the first six months or so, by the time I became friends with her everyone already knew me, hell she probably liked me on reputation alone). It's harder to sift through groups at uni because people tend to instinctively sit with people they know, the major downside to this is not all my friends get along so I'm often left having to snob several groups of friends.

Man, my hair usually looks like I just got out of bed (even when I haven't), why is that a bad thing? *sad face*. When I went out last week, I went all out and put gel in it (honestly can't remember the last time that happened), and it still looked like I just got out of bedNifty said:
The group i hang out with is the largest collection of misfits in the area, not to toot my own horn. The crowd I mostly hang out with is a mixture of videogame geeks/ music geeks & musicians/ movie buffs (geeks) and basically the only reason we all are drawn to each other is our collective twisted sense of humor. Aside from that, I mostly chill with my friend who's also my neighbor and her best friend.
And I'd say my popularity is fairly high up there.

Except mine (after some mind fucking has been accomplished) will be chaotic enough to ensure that scientology is looked upon as an immediate threat.(due to "possible uprising") After mine is disposed of by the goverment, they will be destroyed. And then i'll begin work on bringing down PETA.GodsOneMistake said:
I'm pretty popular. Where I live everyone kind of mingles from each scene, so it's really dependant on the personalities on who is in what group. My group has one of the best soccer players in the country and some of us are into the hardcore scene. Most of us smoke weed a lot. A couple of my friends are almost MLG-level in Call of Duty. It all varies. We all go to parties.
I fit in with the popular people at my school, and I hate all of them. It seems like they are all stupid, even the smart ones don't know what illiterate means. I mostly hangout with the kids who are to smart for popular kids, not enough of a nerd to hangout with the nerds and Im to straight edged to go along with the druggies.
Popularity? I can't recall ever having that. When I was in elementary and middle school, I was one of the weird kids...well, one of the quiet, unassuming weird kids, who'd rather sit in a corner and read than stare at you and ask if you'd be their friend. High school was marginally better, since I started hanging out with the tabletop RPG and anime geeks, and the band.
University? Every day, I laugh a little to myself that I no longer have to care.

I'm way too old for popularity contests and "groups". Threads like this make me thank the gods I'm not in high school anymore. For what it's worth, I'm generally well-liked where I go and as far as groups go, I rarely if ever hang out with more than one person at a time, usually my wife.
I'm more infamous than popular, this is mainly due to extreme ats of acting out. And I belong to the fringe group.
I go to a school for geeks. Our slogan is Geeked at birth. That being said I get yelled at when I go to bed at 3 AM. If I'm sitting in my room it means I'm hiding.
I'm not what you would call "popular" but a lot of people know and like me. And I hang out with a combination of drama kids, bandies, and football players.
