Cool factor

Something that y'all have thought about but have been to afraid to say: "Man, that guy's cool, he knows 5, 000, 000, 000 girls, I wish I could be like him." Why does that constitute a cool person? What does cool mean?

Measure my coolness based on the number of girls I know. I have 9 girls on my MSN list. Of those seven, 2 actually interact with me. Of the other 7, 3 of them are cousins, 4 don't talk to me unless they want money or drugs. At least one of them hates me. That's being optimistic. For all I know, they could all hate me. In fact, for all I know, most of my 72 contacts hate (ok fine, dislike) me. How cool am I?

Not very. In fact, I wouldn't be very cool using most any other measurement. I wear schmick clothes, and use ridiculously discombobulated and liturgically astounding words, but apart from that, there's not that much else going for me.

Someone who is awesome does not "bask in their own awesomeness", as someone from Mean Girls once said. I think coolness is the ability to get on with everyone, and generally be a good person (vague terms are awesome as well).

But back to you, massive fanbase. How would you define coolness or synonyms thereof?

  1. that's a very inaccurate way to measure how cool you are. http://www.go-quiz.com/cool/cool-test.php this is much more accurate.

  2. Hey man, on my scale of "coolness"

    You're 9.5/10!

    You're such a humble lad with chick-magnet looks. Take it easy mate, don't be so pessimistic! Only the wise girls out there will know not to dive at the feet of stuck-up homoglobes and learn to appreciate the humble blokes like you ;)
