What makes someone popular?

It is very broad......\n\nThere is not one singular criteria.\n\nIt is based on peer groups. Have you seen the film "mean girls"......those are popular girls for some but would not be for others if you want to take it on a basic level.\n\nIt has all to do with cliques, likes and dislikes. One person will be popular with some and not to others.\n\nI don't know how old you are but I remember at school , there were always the "popular girls and boys"..looks, the trend-setters (for better of worse), those who were always cracking jokes...\n\nSometimes upon growing older, the same applies......but some people will be more popular than others because of their inner niceness, ability to get on with others, compassion etc. Artificiality will always exist but people mature on the whole.\n\nIt depends on many factors : your environment, your culture, the values you were told to be "good" and worthwile.\n\nMy brain is kind of tired tonight....it is an interesting question but..

Just be yourself.  Being popular is overrated, and at my school, the "popular" people aren't really that popular - they think they are, but the majority of people don't like them.  You're awesome the way you are.

what does it mean to be popular. if you take my opinion you should stick with the friends you have, and trust me having fewer BETTER friends is awesome. the big crowds are filled with people who dont even know their best friend

Too damn popular.  You'll have to be mean to some people and remove them from your list.

Being popular isnt the best thing. But my advice would be, just be nice(helpful) to everyone, popular or nonpopular ppl. Everyone will like u, and that's better than being popular.

In every situation in life, from parties, to classrooms, to the workplace, there is one person to whom everyone gravitates. I think that what that person has is charisma, and if I could bottle it, I would be rich. \n\nI think that the main thing that charismatic people have is the ability to make those around them feel special. They make eye contact, they really listen when someone speaks, they are outgoing, and they do their best to make everyone comfortable. They don't sit in a corner and talk to one small group of people, they get out and mingle. They don't make fun of someone, they make an effort to draw them out. They don't have to resort to outlandish behavior to get noticed, they are comfortable in their own skin, and that confidence shines through. \n\nThere will always be someone with a funky hairdo, a crazy shirt, a cool ringtone, or really witty remarks. They may draw a lot of attention, but they won't keep it for long. Develop good people skills, and people will come to you; make them feel special, and they will stay.

hell no.......nobody cares about the popular kids after high school...its like "where are they now"......who really gives a shit in the real world.........to me being popular meant you were a puppet...whenever someone pulled your strings thats the way you went. no personality ..just sheeps being lead to their slaughter......id rather be considered a "unpopular" anyday because that meant i followed my own mind..not everyone elses...\n\npeople are so fake  its unreal sometimes.....

What makes them popular is that people just really want to be around them. Maybe it's their personality, maybe they have a huge built-in swimming pool. Whatever they have, it's something that people want.

be who you are. don't change who you are to become popular, then you'll have all of the friends who only liked you because of how you look or something. if they only like you because your popular.. who would ever want friends like that. also you'll be changing who you are for others. son't change. if you're not popular, then be friends with people who don't care what you look like or what you believe. those will be the good friends you'll be glad you have. one person who likes you for you is better a bunch of friends who like you for who your not

I know to be a popular person at school is so fun, but not a big problem if not.\nmore popular, get more extra-activities, for guy, join some sport activities. study hard and get high grade. gatting around with others and more talking (conversation), have some humours or funny stories, it will help you more popular.

You have some good answers already but here is mine.\nYou are famous for being in the public eye for a multitude of possible reasons. Film star, radio presenter, model, head of church, government and so on. Infamous it usually a person that is well know for not being good, kind or humane. A murderer such as the Yorkshire Ripper is very well known but is not a very nice person. Fred West the multiple murderer from Gloucester is very well known for doing awful things. These people are infamous. Hope this helps and all the best to you. Have a nice Christmas.

Girl, being popular doesn't mean it'll help you to be in the elite group. Sometimes, being popular is really a hassle coz ppl will talk about how you look, how you talk, just anything about you - till you cant breath coz the privacy ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner. Besides, by being popular, sure you'll have lots of ppl who wanna hang out with you, but how sure are you that they are sincere to be your friends? Will they be there whenever you need them? Just be yourself. You have to like and love yourself before worrying if others would like you.
