How do you know if a girl does cheerleading just for popularity?

Question

No, I am not even a cheerleader.

I was just wondering how you could tell.

Answer 1

It all depends on if she was popular beforehand. Also if she doesnt really like it thats also a sign. But usually if she likes it it means she wants to be a cheerleader. Also if she acts different to her old friends and leaves them behind for her new friends.

Answer 2

Well, for starters if she is bad at it, but soaks in the glory of wearing that little outfit.

If she is not serious at ALL about cheering, does not show up for practice, or doesn't have a positive attitude or interest in cheerleading.  

If she does not want to genuinely pump up a crowd.

if she is not happy about cheering, or if she doesn't smile at all.  

If the only thing that makes her smile is when she is getting extra attention for being a cheerleader.

if she brags about cheer, or uses the "I am a cheerleader" card to pick up guys.

If she does not have any clue WHATSOEVER of what is going on in the sport.

also, if she never was popular before, and suddenly, she is becoming quite popular.  

i knew two very nice grounded girls who became cheerleaders.  one lost control and became crazy popular (not to mention quite messed up)

but the other one kept her feet on the ground, and was true to herself.  



actually, most people DO at least try out for cheer just for popularity, or for the sake of being on a recognized team.

but the ones who make it at least care about dance, and tumbling a little, or keeping the crowd content.

but there is always that one that everyone wonders why she made it.  That is probably the girl you are trying to figure out.

Answer 3

if they person is trying to let everyone know that she is a cheerleader. but i really dont know

Answer 4

Ask them specific questions about the sport they cheer for and you'll know.  My son's football team's cheerleading squad is made up of girls who have NO CLUE about football!  For instance, the start a cheer about taking the ball away WHEN WE'RE ON OFFENSE!!! My guess is they want the 'prestige' that comes with being a football cheerleader.  I was a soccer cheerleader in high school (my school wasn't big enough for a football team) and I truly enjoyed soccer.  Although dating the soccer players wasn't so bad either! ;-0

Answer 5

Answer 8
