The rules of highschool never changed in the real world, just evolved

[Thebestthereeveris]

You know how their were the popular outgoing happy sporty highly educated kids and the stoner losers? The hoes that were popular but we're known to sleep around, the gangsters who were about their money and cash and usually did drugs, the nerds who just studied and were alone, and the weirdos. I'll be honest I see the same dynamics in the real adult world just in different ways and people don't want to talk about it cause it seemed like we never grew out of HS but the dynamics are the same. Now the difference is if you were a. Dork in hs you can be a stud in the real world with work. You can be whatever you want with enough time and hard work don't get me wrong.

Now this brings me to this. Know how the highschool good looking football popular stud can basically get any chick and if he were to go for someone "lower" status the girls like kind of stunned and thinking why is he talking to me? Same dynamics in the adult world. Honestly the best position to be in is the popular outgoing educated successful for Good looking happy guy in the real world as well. At that point your in the popular crew. I know this sounds super superficial but it's real.

It’s not always the handsome or popular guy, but the one who gives off a sense of "status."


Let me explain. I’ve known this guy since we were 14. Everyone disliked him, not just because he was unattractive, but because he acted like Brad Pitt. His trick? He made friends by sharing secrets, gossiping, and badmouthing others behind their backs.
He once got with a girl by trash-talking her ex, claiming he had a small penis and that he was “better equipped.”


People hated him, yet he was part of a 30-person group, acting like a leader no one could challenge. They were afraid of what he might reveal. He’d pretend to be your friend just to gather info, then make subtle digs in public.
Say you were a good painter and showed him your art. He’d act impressed. Later, in front of everyone:
“Did you hear about that artist whose painting sold for 4 euros? Such a shame, right?”
Everyone would laugh. Now You know that He talked bad about you. When He would use those proiections.
His speech were full of proiections.
Anyway, his goal wasn’t growth, it was finding things like this to fuel his gossip engine. And trust me, he build an entire new social circle on this, making them dependent on bringing news to him, and dependent on his approval and validation


Later, he ended up in politics and now holds a well-paid job in his city. His manipulation has only become more refined, and women love him for it. He’s a complete jerk, and yet, he wins every social interaction, always managing to stay on top, even without leading. He doesn’t create opportunities, he waits to exploit them with his sociopathic charm.


I know three guys like this. All highly successful in life.
So much for those who say gossip and manipulation don’t work. They do. Even good, respectable women fall for them. These guys somehow end up with women from good families, probably because they’re so good at twisting reality that no one sees through it.

Is it wrong? Sure.
Does it attract women? Definitely.
Women may say they want mature, healthy men, but in practice, they’re drawn to whoever meets their needs, no matter the cost.

Childhood is a rough draft of life afterwards. If we're wise, we fine tune/add layers and nuance to it, leave behind an enthralling final product
