  I did "take one for the team" once, but that involved copious amounts of substances and I was doing my friends a favour, not really trying to be popular (I mean, they love me anyway). I've never done things to be popular, and I've never been one of the "cool kids". :)

  Popularity is just another extention of looking to gratify your own sense of self worth and validated by others around you...whether it be socially, emotionally or sexually. Some people will go to great lengths to achieve that,and the light at the end of the tunnel never seems to get any closer...or may burn brighter for a while before snuffing itself out when you find out what you thought you wanted or what made you feel popular was actual in conflict with who you are. | If I can be popular being who and what I am...it's a great feeling and one I am sure we all enjoy. I struggled for a year or so getting on the rosters to speak at venues around Australia about one of my businesses. Struggle? No, I pathetically begged my way there and paid all of my own expenses. A few years later...they pay me to rock up and all expenses are covered. Maybe that makes me popular...or maybe my hot air and steaming bullshit is just a little more credible or entertaining. Either way...I like it and I love that part of my business. I walk away with a bit of euphoria...and yes, a little more of a bulge in the pocket where I keep my wallet doesn't hurt if I am looking for validation. | We all do it one way or another whether consciously or subconsciuosly...who doesn't want to feel good about who they are...I guess the dividing line is to what lengths we go to get there. This site is a classic example...how many people here might run multiple profiles for whatever reason, layer out the bullshit so thick that you need waders up to your neck or roll around in the mud with a new playmate just because they either can or it make them feel "popular". For a good laugh...have a look at the commercial research done by Lifestyle condoms and you will understand just how popular some of the guys here want to be....against nearly all the odds and in spite of the global statistics. Either that or only guys in the 2% demographic of the world just happen to live here in Australia and nearly all of them have signed on here. Sure...there are exceptions or anomalies, but that is exactly what the Ringling Bros. had in mind too. A bit like an 86 year old still out chasing up the studs on Planet Oz. Just teasing, you really aren't a day over 70...are you? | Personally...the older I get the less I care about being popular. If I like me the rest of the world can look after itself. I loved the line by the retired tennis great "Some people love John McEnroe and some people hate John McEnroe" ...and he really didn't much care. Me...I just look for the ones with their toe tapping before I ask them to dance. | Beyond that...who cares?

  I never considered life as a popularity contest.

  Popular? I'm never the popular guy... I mean.. I'm obsequious most of the time so I get along come what may.... I get into my groove thing and go with the flow of blood to my penis.... if I don't like what's going on I hop on the next happy train... Next. There's no point in trooping on... sex is meant to be funner... so why spoil a good thing?HugsStalky

  "What other people think of me is none of my business." - Peter Brock.And when speaking of my idiosyncrasies:"Those that know me don't care. Those that don't know me don't matter."I'm me. Take it or leave it - at the end of the day, if I can look in the mirror and say "You're a good bloke", that's all that matters.

  I cannot remember ever worrying about being popular. I have always just gone about my own life doing as I want. These days being popular means nothing anyway. I am my own best friend and am usually content in my own company. I still have friends from childhood so I cant be too bad. I am happy with the person I am and if others do not like me the way I am...that is cool. I can live with that.

  Infact, I kinda like being unpopular. It suits me better. If I wanted to be popular, I'd need to find a population of people just like me ... Hah! Not bloody likely!
