How can I become 'cool'

[PsychicTaco115]

Escapists, as you all know, I'm a not the coolest ************ on the planet

Well, I want to change that starting ASAP

What should I do in order to become cool?

 

[GrumbleGrump]

Get off the internet, chump.

Douse yourself in liquid nitrogen.

 

[n0e]

Become the CM of the Escapist, of course!





... am I cool yet? I'm cool, right?

Nah, you're cool, don't worry about it.

OT: Post more, become the coolest kid on the block. Works 0% of the time, 100% of the time.

oh man, that's how I feel half the time.

A few years back I visited the Break Media office and found that I was one of the oldest people working there.. at (the time) 32. *sigh*

Well if you're in Indiana at the moment just walk outside and you'll be 'cool'

... Oh you mean the other type of 'cool' don't you? ... Yeah I got nothing

That's how I felt at my old retail job. I was only 24 at the time, yet I was the third oldest there in a group of about 30 people. Doesn't feel good.

You sir, have the coolest avatar.

Took me 6 years to find it but I finally got there. Although my old Dr Cox avatars were damn good as well.

What should I do in order to become cool?

That's easy. All you need to do to be cool is drink, smoke, curse and burgle things.

 

[BadNewDingus]

From what I learn in life, to be cool, you need money.

Although, that really doesn't work for Ben Carson.

SNIP

To be fair having his brained basically vaporized from his chemo treatment didn't help. And all the mini little strokes he's suffered to be at a point where blinking and closing his eyes are the same thing...

Poor guy. He really should be in a special needs care facility...

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Drape yourself in velvet.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

If you have to ask how to become cool, then you can never become cool.

The cool people just know, mang.

 

[Lufia Erim]

Confidence. You can be wearing christmas pajamas, in a july heatwave, but if you are confident in how you rock it, you'll be the coolest mothefucker in [insert social circle here].

Also dont ask how to be cool. There is nothing less cool.

 

[BreakfastMan]

Masturbate in public. It is all the rage with the popular kids, trust me. People love it when you just whip it out and start going to town. On the bus, on the street corner, in the office, at the grocery... It is always good.

 

[Sampler]

As a youth, I too wanted to be cool, so I hid my inner geek, became a DJ, accoladed by all, took the pish out of my kin, became a bully.

I was cool, loved by many, just not the one that counted, me, I hung up my decks, didn't care as my new "friends" floated away and unleashed my nerd, now I'm happy, not cool, but happy, and that, in life, kids, is what's important..

So, the White House?

OT: Hey, OP, I think you're pretty cool, the way you wear that jacket -pretty cool, yeah- and don't get me started on the way you comb your hair.

 

[Vanilla ISIS]

Cool according to which demographic?
Little kids?
Teenagers?
Middle aged women?

 

[Andy Shandy]

Drink Kool-Aid, duh! It's in the name! It aids you in being Kool - with a Kapital K.

[sub]Side-effects may include smashing through walls[/sub]

 

[anthony87]

That's easy.

Just be a Jojo character.

Step one: don't assume that everyone thinks you're uncool. That's setting yourself up for failure right out of the gate.

Commit yourself to constant self improvement. Doesn't matter what area. Not being perfect is a lot easier when you know you're actively doing something about it, but you have to stick at it

Typically, cool is causing maximum effect with minimum effort. I once read that you can tell the size of someone by the amount of things that bother him/them. And you gotta admit it's kinda true. You injure yourself and people ask if it hurts?

"It bloody KILLS, man!" - big reaction, pretty standard.
"I'll live" - Non-reactionary. Unfazed. Cool.

Someone tells you they won the lottery?

"OMG WOW THAT'S SO AMAZING WTF BBQ" - gushy, overblown, not cool.
"Well done mate- which draw was it?" Acknowledge, then ask about an aspect most others would miss = cooler

You see a guy go and chat up a girl at a bar. The more effortless he makes it look, the cooler he appears. In TV shows, the big boss always has other people running around doing things for them. Minimal effort, maximum effect. Try making your actions and speech more like that and you'll start seeming smoother.

You get the general idea.
