Parties

[TabulaRasa1]

Just graduated high school. I made friends with some high status people this year, but my high school reputation is still overwhelming nerdy. How should I approach the summer party scene? How can I attack the stereotypes against me and make friends with more of the steroid fueled alpha male crowd?

This reads like a terrible plot to a teen summer movie.

If its not, just be cool about it. Be friendly, make friends, don't even worry about hitting girls up so much because if you keep partying with these folks, itll happen quickly over time.

Also, if you're not used to drinking or whatever, you may not want to get super drunk or anything and do stupid/disrespectful shit you will regret. Although, that might win many people over as well.. ITS A FINE LINE!

I'd say just party reallll hard at one of the beginning parties dont get too drunk and puke just get a good buz goin and just be real friendly and talk to everyone if you're making friends with the alpha male crowd and the convo is all you and the alpha is leanin away just move to the next one...i say you get in on beer pong when theres a big line and then when its your turn get an alpha to be your partner and say yours just peaced out... I myself am an alpha and i'm always up to chill with the 'nerdy' kids so long as they're chill and make me laugh ...Confidence is the key, if they give you shit just laugh it off

Just be yourself (your new self that is) and don't keep your confidence a secret. To the people who want to bring up the old you. fuck'em! either they will want to get to know you now and be your friend or they won't. Bringing up your past is just their way of trying to discourage you from being yourself. I'm not saying be an asshole or anything, just be cool and confident and people will recognize it. But there are always haters, trust me. So this is just from my experience I hope it helped a bit and have an awesome time this summer dude, cheers!

Well once you're out of high school and you're driving, you start meeting people from other areas.

You're out of high school. The "rep" doesn't matter anymore. You can be anything you want to be. A lot of people change when they get out of school.

Work on inner game.

And you're stereotyping guys who work out as "steroid alpha males". What matters now is having fun in the summer, and what everyone is planning to do in the fall.

When someone wants to bring up stuff from high school, keep in mind whether it's yesterday or last year, it's in the past and irrelevant to who you are now. You're not going to see them every day. They're more likely to end friendships they had in school and make new friends, usually people in school, at work, people from different areas that they wind up becoming good friends with.

Develop a style that is cool. Meet cool people not just girls. Have fun and make sure your able to help people have fun. Personally I make sure that if partying comes up in conversation which for me it does frequently get good at one or two drinking games. I always tease girls about how if I play beer pong with them they will lose not in those exact words either. However this works for me it may not for you. Also be confident as already stated.
