might possibly sound odd.. but living in a small town and family being local and all grown up here im guessing a lot of people might know of me and know my name/face... its not to say they know me or i know them.
Also being to several schools/moving around/general military lifestyle also have a lot of friends through that
im well liked generally (well thats my perception) so think i am.. could be wrong though .. |

No. I'm the last person anyone invites to a party. None of my old classmates friend requested me on Facebook. My phone never rings for a chat. Maybe I'm just unsociable  |

"I'm not too sure to be honest!
Does having lots of friends on book face count as being popular? For that women it obviously did.  "

I don't have facebook. The friends I have on my friends list here are people I have met and would meet again because we have become friends.
Out there in more tangible world I am popular but I say no to quite a lot of things. Just because they like me doesn't mean I want to spend lots of time with them but because I am friendly nobody minds.

Popularity doesn't interest me. Nor does acceptance. Respect does though.
I fear that for many that do crave popularity it could be a very superficial existence. |

I think that the people that I like, also like me.
Other than that bugger knows. As for FB havent got a profile, its mainly (and I say mainly because it can be useful for keeping in touch with some true friends/relatives) used for attention seeking.

I am not 'popular' on here as I am true to myself and I notice that if someone steps out too far in one direction on the forum threads, in a way that makes them unique...different. .confident. ...the response on here seems to be.. to censor. ..to squash them. Even if they themselves were not the instigator and the person was simply standing up for their beliefs.
In real life, I have a wide group of friends and a great social life...
I am suspicious of the word 'popular' as it doesn't mean 'likeable' always.....
Sometimes people appear 'popular' because others are intimidated by them....the school bully appeared popular to me at the time...but it wasnt because she was a genuinely great person. It was simply because she intimidated people and they were too scared to stand up to her. So she gained this notoriety around her...and surrounded herself with this gang....
The reality is. ...she was herself a very scared and insecure person who needed to surround herself with all these people to give her a sense of identity and belonging and that without that, she crumbled alone. |

This is so me! Starting to think I should play along with the government scheme phone calls just so I get to chat on the phone
But to answer the question no I'm not popular.  |

I've just quickly wizzed through my book face friends, and yes I actually know them all... I have a very large extended family, cousins, aunties and uncles ect, old school friends, children, close friends and distant friends, but I don't count myself as being a popular person. |

Being popular does not equate to feeling secure and confident necessarily.
My experience is that the people who court popularity are rarely the popular people. The people I and others gravitate to don't actively seek or realise their popularity. They are just jolly nice and interesting people to be around.

Its hard to say.
With everyone being different the very qualities in you that make you popular with some will make you unpopular with others.
Id believe Im well liked enough by those who's opinions I care about the most. As for the rest I figure their feelings about me will probably range from worshipping me as a God to thinking Im an utter dickhead.
The same as most I reckon. |

It's already been suggested in a second thread this evening that you let it drop hun, you are not doing yourself any favours by labouring the point.

I don't feel popular, but Sandra is very popular and likeable. Think I just come across as far too serious and maybe stuffy, which really isn't true. I am just a quiet and fairly shy person. |

The only time i ever hear from my friends nowadays is when there wanting some work done on there house cheap/free. Have now decided to charge them full whack if that's the only time they get in touch.
To be honest though i much prefer my own company.

To be honest I haven't a clue, I suspect not! I'm very pass remarkable, sarcastic, and often engage the gob before thinking, pretty much a straight talker, dont suffer fools and have a pretty shit hot bullshit radar...but hell that's me. I'm afraid, am very much the same in the real world! But am pretty much harmless, guess I'm a marmite kinda gal |

With some groups I am with others I'm not you can't help how people feel about you unless you are to curb, alter or change the way you are and with most people it really doesn't matter unless you strive to win the population contest. I don't hold with all the people who say they don't know because its tosh we are all aware on how er are perceived by others but I love people who project false modesty it just makes me laugh. |

The idea of popularity is not something I have cared much about since being a teen. I know that my outspoken nature has, amongst some, made me quite the reverse.
However, as long as family and friends like me that is all I really care about. |

I am a loner by nature, and would rather to be respected than to be popular.
My line of work does not make me popular, however, if everything goes according to plan with no deviations, mistakes and errors, then I would be out of a job!

The face book thing is a bit of a red herring.
Great for staying in touch with those you're close to but far flung from. Good if you've got the right business to promote. I know cos I do!
But shit really if you think that being popular there means anything.
Or here for that matter. It's what's going on in your own head that counts.
I'm not popular to answer that question. As any forumite will testify |

This thread reads like it is a bad thing to be popular. It wasn't asking if you court popularity.
Very strange on a site where people try and hook up to find those people vying to prove they are unpopular.

Not popular on here, that's for sure (apart from a couple of good Fab friends who i've known for a long time). Popular with family when things need fixing though, and very happy to be popular with a big gang of friends from outside of Fab. R. |

Interesting as your perception is LS, its one of those threads where people can make their own mind up, you have chosen to think it a negative, which is interesting in itself. |

I was trying to inject some debate by countering all the other posts. I won't be very popular for that.

Well, a lot of people do seem to contact me when they need something; assistance of some kind, a driver or a good laugh on a night out.
Not sure if that means i'm popular though. I'm just reliable and sacrifice my time for others.

I would say that is an indication of popularity if you are someone's go to person when in need. I think a lot of people are popular and know it but are humble too which isn't a bad thing. |
