I'm not sure. I look fairly attractive (brutally skinny though, which obviously makes some people think I have an eating disorder), but my manner with people can be a bit weird at times. Suffice it to say my social skills aren't my strong suit.

Pretty much this. I'm not a gorgeous hunk, but I'd say my looks are good (hell, I've caught myself staring at my reflection several times), and I make it a point of always having my beard and hair just so, and dressing well, and it usually shows in the reaction people have towards me, particularly first impressions.
That said, I open my mouth and people find out I'm (GASP!) intelligent, and that I have pretty strong opinions (sometimes unpopular opinions) they tend to be a little more distant. I suppose people my age (17-18) value looks over smarts. That's alright, though. It means I'm a hit with the much prettier and much more agreeable 20-somethings.

Yes because I am awesomely tall and if I wasn't I'd feel weird. Also I am generally friendly to everyone expect ironically my good friends who I regularly assault with sarcasm.

I wasn't really accepted until University; all of my friends were from the same society so we all had a common interest and it was easier to get to know people. They also had some radical ideas about how red heads are actually people too and don't have to be ostracised because they'll give AIDS and gingervitis (ginger is clearly contagious, then you become one of us and everyone hates you too. Stay away!).

I'm no good at striking up a conversation though. I'm rather shy. Also, not interested in drugs, hair, clubbing, swine flu, hair, makeup, or hair and the apparent proliferation of old-wives' tales and general misconceptions among a lot of the people I meet gets on my tits. Never super-popular but I get on well with nerds, geeks and people with half a brain, not so well with the ones who think the Moon glows because it is on fire.

I do care about being accepted though because being friendless is quite lonely and I can't see any reasons why I should be immediately ostracised from social groups (other than the obvious gingerness.)

By socially aceptable you would have to outline the society to be and or not to be accepted in. I'm sure everyone can gravitate towards one group or another that accepts them for who they are. You can be completely detested in one society and completely accepted and even admird in another at the same time.

Personally I consider myself a nice guy willing to lend a helping hand when needed, but to actually care about what other people think of my activities doesnt blip on my radar. I hold myself up to high standards and no one is in charge of how I feel except myself.

... I openly support the separation of church and state (yes, we are still medieval in those terms in Finland). So that would be a big no.
Well thats your society dude, I also completely support the seperation between church and state. The United States is a little behind schedule in my opinion. But you would be more socially accepted here for those beliefs - in certain parts of this country I mean.

ya...

I don't really care. Maybe if I was still in high school I might care a little, maybe. Probably not though. I used to hang out with everyone: the jocks, the nerds, the goths (I guess it's called emo now), the preps, the gangstas, blah blah blah. Everyone else seemed to stay in their own cliques.

Don't know. Don't care. As cheesy as this will sound, society may not accept me, but I accept myself, and I have friends and family who accept me. Society will have to get over it.

Any poll with the option "*Fetal position*" is brilliant.
I used to take that position under my desk sometimes in the past.
Now that I have my own house there is no carpet under my desk, so not anymore.

And yes, I do suffer from several serious mental ilnesses.

I can actually make myself more socially acceptible but to do so would be selling myself out, I have few "true" friends but generally get along with most folks but rarely to a point that I would consider a "friend", .............................. it's the hat .............................. I know it

I am simply ignored by most people. Those who do not ignore me have never tried to jam a fork in my eye or set me on fire, thus I conclude that I am, more or less, tolerated by society.

It's not that hard to do - don't wear a bucket on your head and punch people in the face for no reason and people will generally accept you. It's not rocket science.

I'm incredibly good looking which has made me a completely arrogant ass.

In some cases, it pushes me away, in some cases, it helps. It's a part of who I am though, I don't do anything on purpose, which makes it worse I guess.

i get dirty looks from old ladies wherever i go. am very very introverted and make very few friends... My mum bemoans my dress sense, stating i'm not normal and i'll never find employment with my looks (bright red hair, goth and/or boys clothes, and a collar)

guess that means i'm not socially acceptable.
not like i care.

To tell the truth, I have no fucking idea.

I spend almost 90% of my time locked in my room away from everyone else (and ENJOY it, seeing as how everyone else is either a total moron or too damn different to feel comfortable around), grunt at people when they try to talk to me, look extremely uninviting, generally ignore people entirely as I walk past them, and am just generally very introverted...

...But somehow everyone at school knows who I am (as well as several adults in town that I've never met before in my f'ing life) and seems to enjoy having conversations with me (if I'm bothered enough I'll stop grunting and actually start talking) and are generally nice to me.

Seriously, there are 3 people that I can actually talk to or be around without feeling totally uncomfortable, and I don't even talk to them very much.

I can't tell if they actually enjoy spending time with me or if they just feel sorry for the wierd hawaiian-shirt wearing kid that never talks to anyone.

Hm... If I actually cared I might be bothered enough to find out, too bad I don't though.

I have friends and I can make more easily enough. My interests are so diverse that I don't have much trouble blending in to almost any social group with the right outfit. Average folks find me a bit bookish but pleasant to talk to. All in all I have the potential to rack up dozens of contacts.

Ironically, I prefer a very tight-knit circle and I'd enjoy being a hermit.

Hehehe... I'm not sure. I don't think I was in highschool and now I have enough friends to keep me happy. So I really don't care as long as I have my friends.

edit: I can get along with just about anyone so I guess so. Though, once they get to know my weird, crazy, hyper side, they tend to leave but I don't care. I only want to be with people who can handle it.
