Well, if he's cool, it won't matter. I will say that guys/girls do think about that though. If you're not popular/popular, many people wonder what their status is going to be when seen with you. At 13, I will say that guys/girls care about looks a lot more than anything else, especially guys looking at girls. If you like him only for his looks, then I think you should reevaluate any plans to get close to him. If you feel like there's actually something special about him, then I'd say, life is way too short to not be taking chances. Just be the coolest you can be by being honest and fun, don't try too hard, and don't expect anything because honestly, you're still so young. Enjoy your teenage years, but please don't slack off. :)
Many people are trying to increase their rank in the "pack" or "herd" (especially very young people). I remember some of the unpopular girls were attractive but got little attention because of their popularity.
Why does popularity matter? Well I think because humans are naturally trying to increase their scope of influence and resources. I mean he wants to have the perception of power basically. He wants to be thought of in a good way to others. People are at their maximum levels of this at your age, but the good news is that desire will slowly fade for many as you get older.
It can't hurt much to try and ask him out though.
Popularity matters because its a measure of social standing among your peers. Being popular is a sign that you're good at socialising, which helps a person climb the ladder of the social hierarchy.
If he's popular he can generally pick and choose between many girls including those with more upward social mobility than you have.
Now he might not be into popular girls, so you do have a chance, you just have more competition.
If you had a crush on an unpopular guy, you'd have a much easier time gaining his affection, since he'll be thankful that any girl would even like him at all.
Popularity is very overrated. It all comes from your Charisma mostly and it really can't be helped so they just have to live and blend in with the "popular world".
You are 13 years of age and looking for a date? I ate mud when I was 13... but whatever...
It only matters if you want it to. Popularity is a social concept that attempts to establish a social hierarchy. Order founded by an abstract ranking system such as "popularity", makes the workings of society easier to understand when you first become immersed in it, because it is so complex, but in the real world none of this exists - just money.
Not all guys are popular and are looking for popular girls. Why not choose a guy with a kind heart and isn't elaborated with meeting just popular girls only.
Well consider this the more popular someone is the more rarer he/she becomes and people love having rare things this also just contributes to the amount of people wanting the rare. It's like rich people become richer and poor become poorer
I know this an old post but men of all ages are all about their status it's a human thing men want to be popular and mingle with others of that class but you should ask you never know what he'll say
It doesn't. Once high school is over... popularity comes to a dead stop. In college and university popularity doesn't matter but usually you can tell who wants to get with who... lol
He's rich with social currency and subconsciously it translates to better chance of raising offspring but in actual fact being popular at a young age in school usually reinforces the wrong behaviors and ends up translating into less success in life.
a lot of guys like when the girl is confident enough to approach them. then if things don't turn out the way u expect there's plenty of other options. popularity is just a mindset of a well known person and it really doesn't matter after u leave school.
thats a girl thing I think. I never gave anything about social status of a girl. If a girl was cute I liked her. Women seem to need approval by other people to validate their choices of a guy.
