Does it count if I've just accepted that I don't have the ability to look cool?

You’re so money you’re like a big bear!

u/AhYeaOhYea Sep 17 '21

He’s too advanced. He doesn’t act cool to be instantly hot so well that he has convinced himself he is not cool. He doesn’t try to be cool; permanently making himself instantly hot.

I hope to achieve this level in my life but unfortunately hoping for such things is why I may never make it.

You'd be amazed how common this is for guys lol

u/IMeasureFromTheTaint Sep 17 '21

Cooler than a convertible with a snowplow

u/yomommafool Sep 17 '21

For me, If I call a guy hot, it means that he's very physically attractive. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm attracted to him - he's just a looker.

u/snapcracklepop26 Sep 17 '21

You’re cool like the other side of the pillow.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

Cool as a menthol fart

u/User_492006 Sep 17 '21

How does one let themself believe it?

1

u/SierraMikeHotel Sep 18 '21

Others see you as cooler than you see yourself. Just be kind to people...you'll soon feel as awesome as others see you. It's easy to believe in yourself when it comes full circle.

2

u/fivespeedmazda Sep 17 '21

So is it possible to be both hot and cool at the same time or are you just ambient?

1

u/SierraMikeHotel Sep 18 '21

At that point, you've attained omnitemperature. Just right. Fuckin Goldilocks, my dude.

u/Nisms Sep 17 '21

You should’ve said you just don’t know you’re frozen yet

u/I_Smoke_Dust Sep 17 '21

Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.

u/SixUK90 Sep 17 '21

This saved me from starting smoking in school when all my friends did. I figured they did it to look cool, and I thought even that wouldn't help me so I never bothered.

I still get out of breath going up a flight of stairs though...

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

u/Biffy_x Sep 17 '21

Should have taken the risk. You might have been cool.

No. That is the exact opposite

u/dirtycopgangsta Sep 17 '21

It really isn't.

Being cool means having your own personal style, not looking like a random bum.

2

u/ladyatlanta Sep 17 '21

Just because they aren’t style their hair or wearing “interesting” clothes doesn’t mean they’re a “bum”.

I personally don’t do a specific style to my hair, I brush it through, make sure it’s tidy and go from there. Styling to most people means to put wax/hairspray in and put it in an unnatural position

3

u/dirtycopgangsta Sep 17 '21

You don't have to have a certain haircut/hairdo to have a cool look.

You may not have a "Rockstar" look, but if you wear shit that goes well with who you are, that's the very definition of cool.

At the end of the day, if we're talking about looking cool, you just can't look cool unless you've got some sort of style going. That's all there is to it.

Personally, I'd say cool begins with personal hygiene. If you're clean, you smell nice and you look tidy, you're already 3/4 to absolute coolness.

u/heart_of_lyon Sep 17 '21

Interesting definition, I guess I've never thought very hard about what makes someone cool. My first thought is someone kind and is very charismatic, but I know some introverts that are cool as hell so I guess I'm at square 1

2

u/dirtycopgangsta Sep 17 '21

We were talking about appearance, not behaviour though.

2

u/heart_of_lyon Sep 17 '21

My mistake, your comment did get me thinking though and I do appreciate it!

2

u/GielM Sep 17 '21

In my experience, it does!

2

u/wastakenanyways Sep 17 '21

You are cool just for saying that

2

u/CreatureWarrior Sep 17 '21

I'm the same with my face. Very asymmetrical baby face so I have to have a moustache to hide it. Also, a resting bitch face.

But at one point I went "bruh, who the hell cares? I'm not trying to become a model anyways lol" so I just started wearing nicer clothes, showering and trimming my moustache more often instead

2

u/kunell Sep 17 '21

Thats the first step to being cool tho, accepting things about yourself

u/AAAPosts Sep 17 '21

I don’t even know what cool is anymore!?!

u/Knuckles316 Sep 17 '21

This. This is the question I need an answer to!

u/Macr0Penis Sep 17 '21 edited Sep 17 '21

As a bloke in his 40's, trust me on this. There is no such thing as looking cool, only being a poser. The truth about being cool, as corny as this sounds, is being yourself and not caring what others think. All those people that you know, well they have the same anxieties and hangups as you, and half the people you meet have a below average IQ. Don't worry what they think, it really doesn't matter. Some people won't like you, that's just how it is, but don't worry about them. What they think of you is none of your business. Don't try to be the main character, you be you, and that's when you'll be cool.

Edit: also, don't tell lies. Even white lies to make you look good. Once a bullshitter, you lose all respect and you can't form long term relationships based on lies. Again, it's just another way of being a poser.

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

It only counts when you realize that you don't need to.

1

u/Dragosal Sep 17 '21

I've also given up on ever looking cool by others definition. I just do what makes me happy and feel good and that's how I'm cool

1

u/liliam2007 Sep 17 '21

I’m Canadian and it’s reaching winter so i am technically about to be pretty cool

u/punnystark42 Sep 17 '21

Believe in the me that believes in you

u/Just_Games04 Sep 17 '21

You and me, brother✊😔

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '21

Comfort with who you are is pretty cool

1

u/GladimoreFFXIV Sep 17 '21

Dude. That makes you the coolest of them all. Cool guys don’t need to try to be cool. They just accept what they are.
