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.

Clothes, many people like to spend lots of money on the latest fashions to help them improve their image, thinking that people will find them interesting because they know what the hot new things to wear are.

Music: People who are looking to improve their image in certain social groups will spend the time finding out what music is hip with those people and will adopt that music as their favorite music, in an attempt to make others think they are cool.

Gambling, many people fell that gambling makes them appear cool, and with the rise in pokers popularity on television the illusion that gambling makes you seem cool is also growing. But be careful some forms of gambling like poker, roulette, blackjack and craps can make you seem cool some games in the casinos can make you appear less cool. No one is going to think you cool for playing the slot machines, bingo or keno, unless you hit a large 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.

Being cool is not about what you have or listen to. Being cool is all about who you are. In school being cool was all about being popular, but what most adults see as cool is more about who you are, and doing what you want to do and not what everyone else does. Those who are considered to be cool are usually leaders and not followers.

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.
