Why does everyone like the popular girls who aren't even pretty?

Question

Why does everyone like all the popular people when they doen't even have a lot of friends? like this girl names Shaylee. she isn't that pretty and she is afraid of life so why would people even stand to be around her?

Answer 1

coz maybe her inner beauty is visible to those people. and girl, don't be envious if people stick around her..... you have your own friends, right?? so, why envy her? popularity will fade. it doesn't last forever....

Answer 2

Maybe she is easy?

Answer 3

some people only like each other for the tags on their clothes.

Answer 4

It's not always the way someone looks or even whether someons is well-off or poor. Personality is very important as well. It could be that Shaylee has a personality that people are drawn too. These days its becoming to be more acceptable to have a small "close" group of friends as opposed to a whole lot of friends. You can share more and trust a smaller group of people that way with your inner-most thoughts feelings and fears. And this is what ultimately makes people comfortable around each other.

Answer 5

think about it this way whos life is better hers or yours you have friends that like you for you she has them for her  status

dont worry about her in 10 years time that isnt gonna matter im at school and thats what i have to tell my self all the time

Answer 6

You sound envious of her.

Answer 7

Because apparently she has something that you are lacking.  Maybe a bit of class....

Answer 8

That is a mystery I never figured out. I also wondered the same thing in highschool. Just let the popular girl be. If she is not a friend of yours then don't waste your time thinking about it.

Answer 9

Jealousy is so unbecoming.  Worry about yourself - not other people.

Answer 10

Why are you letting this affect you?  People are liked and are popular for different reasons, not just for being pretty.

Answer 11

Because girls with low self-esteem, and hotness = FUN TO s***w baby !!!

Answer 12

some people are popular because they do drugs. that is why alot of people in my school are popular. they also could be out going and really fun. they could be real chill or layed back. another is when they are *** wholes or b*****s. because they boss people around others laugh. or people that pick on the non cool kids. she could be one of these.

Answer 13

It's in the sack what counts!!

Answer 14

the popular girls must be popular because they like to dine out

Answer 15

because maybe she's a good friend,and friendship doesn't depend on looks.

Answer 16

Pretty isn't the only thing that makes a person appealling, a nice personality and a lack of vanity often helps...

Answer 17

maybe its her sense of humor, her personality, her ability to put people at ease when they're around her.

Answer 18

Maybe she just has a lot of aquaintences from her church,or some other extra curricular activity,and has just been lucky to still have her peeps around .Not to worry,it usually is like this until around age 18 or 19.Nobody really cares..really.I hope you find your friends are just as special as her friends are to her.If she is new,well ,then she is just the magnet of the year,still.look around and enjoy what you have..others do!!

Answer 19

popularity is a weird thing.

Being popular doesnt matter, as long as you hang out with people YOU like, then your fine.

Get along with everyone and youll be ok.

And I have no clue why they all like this girl, but all they see is popularity.

Its sad I know.

Anyways, GOOD LUCK:)

Answer 20

how old are yop? ten??? do you really think its going to matter in ten years?? by the way what the h**l does that have to do with food????dummy!

Answer 21

shes probably really nice.

Answer 22

Not only does your question not make any sense,it has nothing to do with food.

Answer 23

shaylee is kinda pretty,you are crzy on here.you might be giving of a bad impression

Answer 24

hi,

your question is in the Dining Out section.Did you know that?

Answer 25

First of all, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."  You shouldn't judge her.  Second of all there are many reasons for being popular, but yes, usually it is based on the clothes one wears.

Answer 26

cause they wanna be popular too

Answer 27

There could be many reasons...

sometimes women prefer to hang around other women who are less attractive  so they look good.

Answer 28

No kidding!!!  Guys would rather have a skinny self-centered 100 waif that treats him like c**p, than have an average woman who would traet him like gold.  Guys are so into how other guys perceive them.  They think that if they have some Paris Hilton wannabe, other guys will be jealous.

Answer 29

Hey there rein in that jealousy it can be seen from a mile off. Pretty has nothing to do with it. Maybe she is a nice person and people just like her.  It appears you are afraid of life if you're willing to sit on the side lines and mope over this girl who everyone likes instead of getting out there yourself and be happy.

Answer 30

there are more characteristics that make one popular than beauty and looks.  there are wits, kindness, sense of humor, and many other characteristics that people admire.  and remember, popularity is not always good for the human soul.
