How to be "cool"

porgieporgie Member Posts: 1,516
Everyone knows that there are some people that are just "cool".  I'm not talking about popular, because there are some people who end up popular who are total assholes.  I'm talking about that cool person that everyone is attracted to for all the right reasons.  They're fun, approachable, sincere, clever and witty, you know what I'm talking about.

I'm just curious, what is it that you think makes a person like that?  Are some people just born that way or is it a trait that anyone can develop? 

What's up with being cool?

    Self Confidence not arrogance. If you are confident in yourself it shows. In the way you hold yourself. The way you walk and the way you interact with people. People see it and are drawn to it.

    I'm not talking about the "I dont give a crap what anyone else thinks" type confidence where you dye your hair purple with pink polka dots and smear eyeliner on and act all cool. I'm talking about the deep down belief and feling of self assurance.

    its not that person as much as we would like to see that in that person, and we make them look better then they really are.

    lol i own a corncob pipe, bought it at partycentral...the thing surprisingly works well... ontopic- people are only cool when they have no care, and are laid back...if you can find a way to do that you'll probably be more approachable...but for me its camel turkish royals all the way

    I hope some day we can all put aside our racisms and prejudices and just laugh at people

       If I knew the secret to being cool, I'd be employing it. If I were employing it, I'd be off playing chicken on dead man's cliff in an attempt to win the heart of some blinding hot girl, who just happens to be a local gang leader's girlfriend - Not posting on mmorpg.com

       Seriously, I've never known anyone like that. When I'm comfortable, I've been described as "cool", but I'm not really comfortable at school, so really only people who come over see that side of me. And frankly, I'm a son of a bitch when I'm "cool". Why? When you're relaxed, witty comments just roll off the tongue. Unfortunately, most of the witty things that roll off my tongue just happen to be a bit, uh... "sharp", is all.

    If you want to be cool, beat the living shit out of the toughest kid in your school/neighborhood/whatever. Yah, you got questions, Theodoryk got answers.

    If you say "rad", "hip", "neato", "awesome" or "sweet" enough times people will think you are very cool.

    Wouldn't that be like.. a paradox?  If you beat the shit out of the toughest kid, then you would be the toughest kid to begin with, so wouldn't you be beatin the shit out of yourself?  That would look kinda funny and wouldn't be so ... cool.

    I've learned that you gotta be outspoken and outgoing.  You need to stand up for yourself, make ground with your own beliefs.

    For example, answering the teacher's questions will show to others in your class that you're socialable (just don't over-do it, else it'll get irritating), and also being talkative with everyone you meet will help alot.
    And you need confidence for all that, that's what I learned from my first-hand experiences.

    I got my twelve-sided die and I’m ready to roll

    With a Wizard and my Goblin crew

    My friends are comin over to my mom’s basement

    bringin funions and Mountain Dew

    I got a big broad sword made outa cardboard

    And the stereo’s a pumpin Zeppelin

    Its that time of the night we turn on the black light

    Let the Dungeons and a Dragons Begin!



    It’s D & D

    Fightin with the Legends of Yore


    It’s D & D

    Never kissed a lady before


    Nope.


    Now the lord of the rings a dark crystal and things

    We use these as a reference tool

    And when we put on our cloaks and tell Warlock jokes

    We're the coolest kids at the school


    No we’re not

    I know...


    Now Tak's a real bastard

    But a fair dungeon master

    He’s got hit points and charisma to lend


    And I rehearse in my room or what I call the dragon’s tumb

    When I’m not I’m with my girlfriend



    Wow wow wow

    You’ve got a girlfriend?


    Yea...

    Yea...

    No.



    It’s D & D

    Warriors who terrify


    It’s D & D


    Viiirgins till the day we die...

       ...But...But...

       Seriously, though, that was hilarious.

       Oh, and Bababooey: I'm relaxed, but I don't convey things well in text. Plus, I try to be respectful when I'm online. Yeah, I consider most of my behavior here respectful. Scary, huh?

    Studied this problem, I have.  

    -Some people look at the world and realize that it's absurd.  There are three reactions to this:
    1)Getting bitter about it and futilely opposing it.
    2)Being amused and self destructive.
    3)Being amused and taking advantage of the system and other people.

    2 makes you cool until you are 25ish.  3 make you cool by your mid 20s, though 1 can get you chicks if you are really really good at it.  Both Lenin and Derrida probably smacked some booties in their time.

    The only downside to #1 is that you can't play it off even if you succeed.  For example, if you are captivating les femmes at the french coffee shop, you always have to be like, "Mais non Monique, not right now, I am le bored."

    I'm confused now. 

    So, I'm supposed to hang out at a french coffee shop and smack booties while I drink my bitter coffee and be amused at destroying myself?
