Is dating a cheerleader a status symbol in high school for boys?

[Anonymous]

Does it make them feel cool and feed their ego that they got with a cheerleader?

No Only if she’s popular

this is true for most cheerleaders

Yes for all cheerleaders

"feed their ego"

From this I can tell you don't have a very good personal experience with such, or are just biased towards the idea.

Is it the same for a girl to date a football player? does it feed their egos?, their egos being, that they got with a football player.

Such thinking is so very neurotic, you should work your problems out with real people instead of coming here.

It certainly was in my high school but that was a long time ago and I never dated a cheerleader. In my high school only jocks dated cheerleaders.

Coming from the UK, sort of interested in this,

As I imagine reality is different to how it’s portrayed in movies etc.

Haha this is certainly a thing in American movies, where the cheerleaders are hot actresses in disguise :P

But cheerleaders didn't exist in my school life sadly :(

I don’t know. I always thought cheerleading was kind of stupid. Go play a real, sport.

Hell no. Cheerleader are like public toilets.
And I don't date public toilets.

Cheerleaders are usually the most popular girls in the whole school. Do being acquainted with one or having one as a girlfriend puts in high gear. Even if you broke up, your status has been solidified

Who the hell cares? As long as I like her I am good cheerleader or not.

[BareNecessary]
