In order to progress socially one must be possessing a healthy mixture of these traits:
1.Good-looks /14
2.Athleticism /7
3.Charisma /9
Making the ideal case out of 30 and that is only possible in heaven. And nobody no matter how messed up he/she is can be 0. So we're all somewhere in the middle. I gave Good-looks the most significant grade because most will agree that looks matter most when it comes to social situations, followed by Charisma and Athleticism.
As I've stated before anybody and everybody is a mixture of the above, nobody can be 0 in any of them. let's assume your prom class's king/queen nominees score between 22 - 24 and those are extremely happy socially, their side-kicks and popular friends would score 18 - 22 and those also cant help but smile when they consider their social status.
Moving lower down the ladder comes the socially content, people who are not excessively happy with their social lives but can rest assured that there will always be a few a respectable friends happily available to kill time with,those would score somewhere between 14 - 18.
Moving down to the less fortunate, those guys usually have 1-3 friends at most and 10 or so acquaintances - going out with their friends isnt usually a priority, at given days they may find a dinner and a good movie at home a lot more appealing than going out with their friends. they would score 10 - 14.
Finally, the extremely lonely and unfortunate. Those poor bastards would wander around completely lonely, no friend in the world and if they did have a friend he/she would be living in another country/state and would contact him/her from time to time through msn - conversations would rarely exceed a full page. This criteria of people would most definitely be from 10 downwards.
This theory is made assuming all external factors are constant regarding all criterion, also that social skills are not something one is born with but acquires i.e. those with the higher scores will through experience have superior social skills than those with lower scores.
Unfortunately two of the three key traits - Looks and Charisma are 'god - given' and no matter how much a person tries to improve their honeysuckle social life he would only get so far if he doesn't score high enough regarding these traits.
Some may argue that the mentioned traits are not completely genetic and there is room for improvement. I agree but I would like to honestly say that any improvement made is never significant enough, removing that acne from your face( extreme cases aside) can only increase ur score by so much and will not be the transition from dark to light.
sorry for all the pessimism but that's genuinely the way I feel.
good-day!!
