Ten surefire ways to decrease your popularity:

1. Save yourself for the perfect person. Only date people you are interested in, to prevent “leading people on.” People will suspect you of being either snobbish or unpopular.
2. Wear what feels comfortable, not what’s stylish. People will think you have no fashion sense.
3. Speak about what’s important to you; not just the “in” topics. People will find you confusing.
4. Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means disagreeing with people. People will find you abrasive.
5. Call things the way you honestly see them. People will find you threatening.
6. Indulge in unfashionable hobbies. People will find you weird.
7. Be seen with unpopular people. People will try not to be seen with you.
8. Do things alone. People will pity you.
9. Disregard matters of personal hygiene. People will find you disgusting.
10. Neglect eye contact. Stare away or at people’s chests when you speak to them. People will find you untrustworthy.
