I'm just curious about this question. Growing up I had a very small group of friends. I never felt the desire to surround myself with people I considered interesting to other people. I'm just wondering would this be a big turn off for women in general? I know most superficial girls probably would be. Thoughts?

anyone?

Depends how old your are.
High school and college your social group are
more important, but from my understanding
its not as important when your older

Many different ways to look at it. Here's one:

Men typically want to attract the hot girls and that's it. In fact, on one night, all you need is attraction from that one hot girl and you're good. Boom, boom, boom and F whatever the hell anybody else at that party thought of you. (This is the man's survival instinct. Find the hot vagina and shoot the seed)

Women need to be loved by everybody in that room. Why? They're like lionesses. In the cave of village or whatever, women depended on each other to raise their kids. They needed the help of other men in case their cave-dude came back empty handed. Women have a need for "social position".

Now to be "with" a guy with high level status in various large social circles is an INSTANT social position. These days, this isn't as important as it used to be in terms of function. However, they still seem to get orgasms merely at the thought of being instantly injected into a "social position" of some value.

Even if u hang out with the cool guys, it doesn't make a difference besides that it can give you a head start, an element of the doubt, kinda.

If ur not a high value person yourself, it doesn't matter who you know or hang out with, when u talk to a chick she'll know exactly ur value!
If ur a loser in the social eye but u got a high value personality then:
1) gradually you'll naturally move up on the social scale of popularity
2) A girl will generally recognize your high personal value immediately, and in her eyes you will be placed apropriately on the social scale.

But in fact, if ur social status is low, girls (in high school) will have to refuse their interest in you, cause it's the rules of the school, u know what it is! they don't want to lose value in the eyes of their friends and everyone else by dating someone unpopular.

Interesting. I wouldn't consider myself a loser or unpopular but I'm definitely not the life of the party.

anyone else?

Superficial or not, it is a great asset to have. Not that it is necessary and in no way do I imply that a social circle is nothing more than an asset; however you will find that if you are with friends you tend to have more fun and this will help you game, also it shows that you are not some kind of basement-living loner stereotype and also helps ground the fact that you have your own reality within which you are a popular guy (by this I mean that if you enter their social circle, you aren't just "the extra guy" but you do in fact have friends aside from those you meet when you're out).

I would say social status is a great quality to have, but not the most important. It's kind of like a bonus perk, but not a personality trait that's set in stone.

If you mean social status in terms of being the "life of the party", this may be one way to look at it: Some guys prefer quiet/innocent girls, while other guys like the outgoing/bubbly girls. On the other side of the spectrum, some girls may prefer the socially popular guys who are the life of the party, while other girls may prefer reserved guys who have a more mature/serious personality.

I would also agree that social acceptance becomes less and less important as one's age highers, but this is mostly true after college. Like someone posted in here earlier, throughout high school and college, social status has a decently big impact and it is looked at. After you tart getting older, no one cares how popular you were in high school haha.

This is very true, but if you can tailor yourself to have the best of both those qualities there will be nothing stopping you. Muahahahaha *manly high-five*

Yeah, I would say having both qualities is great. There is a definite time and place for certains traits and behaviors to show.

Damn straight man, being a fun guy to be around but reliable too = fucking gold.
