Lots of people who went thru school as one of the not cool people, spend much of their adult lives trying to become the cool kid they always wanted to be in school, and they go but and buy anything they can that may make people think they are cool, instead of taking a look at what makes some people cool and some people not cool.

Bikes and Hot Rods: The first thing people do to try to improve their image is to buy a sports car, a sport bike or a Harley Davidson, because some people see these things as status symbols, and someone who can afford that kind of status must be cool.

Wardrobe: People also thing that the way they dress will make them seem cool to others, so they spend thousands of dollars every few months buying the latest fashions in hopes that others will think they are cool because they are on the cutting edge of fashion.

Music, many people will listen to MTV to listen t the new big hits, again thinking that by knowing what is new and popular will make you appear cool to others.

Online and Casino Gambling: gambling has become a very popular thing in recent years and with Poker shows popping up on all the TV channels, many people think it is cool to go to the casinos dressed up like famous poker players, including vests with patches from sponsors. As un-cool as dressing like a professional poker player may be playing casino games like Craps, Poker and Blackjack may be cool, games like Sic Bo, Keno and slot machines are not cool unless you hit a Multi Million Dollar jackpot.

Jewelry, also known as Bling is often used as a status symbol and the general rule has become the bigger, more expensive and uglier the jewelry is the cooler the wearer has to be. This has led to some people going out wearing thousands of dollars r the ugliest looking pieces.

Physical Fitness: in recent years many people have decided that if you want to look cool you have to belong to a gym, the people in the gym that are there just to look cool are always easy to spot. They are usually found sitting at the juice bar or in the hot tub. If they do ever actually do any type of workout it is usually ridding a bike for 5 minutes and before they even break a sweat they have to stop.

But the truth is that cool is not about what you have and how you look it is about who you are, and if you are choosing your car, your clothes, your music and anything else so that other people will believe you are cool and not because you enjoy these things then as cool as you may think you are, is in direct proportion to how cool you are not.

Being cool is not about what you like but about whom you are, if you just be you and do the things that you enjoy because you enjoy them then other people who enjoy those same things will tend to find you cool.

So the only advice I can give to you about being cool is just do what makes you happy and associate with like minded people.
