| I posted this on another topic on High School(Age section),so I'll repost it here:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who are still in highschool(Sophs and Juniors especially),just a few tips:
1)If you're an athlete,pick-up does not apply.The rep of being a star quarterback or 189lb State Wrestling Champion serves as enough DHV.
2)If you arent an athlete,one of 3 things:
a)If you have a good rep(Funny,knows athletes,outgoing,etc...),you have the same status as athletes.Capitalize on that.
b)If you arent really known(Not quiet kid,but just does their thing and ignores typical school drama,and yes,nerds(In good sense)),try out you're skills,and they might just work,since you have no rep or label.You guys have nothing to worry about.
c)If you have a bad rep("Loser",antisocial,immature),realize that you guys will have a harder time,not because who you are,but because of the evil known as "Bad reputation".Work on girls outside of school,or those who dont know you.
3)If you havent already,join a sport.No,not Bowling or golf.Try Football,Wrestling,Swimming,Weight-Lifting,Track and Field,and yes,even Tennis.All of those sports teach you(you as in general)leadership,endurance,how to handle loss(Getting used to winning and losing),and breed confidence,toughness,and friendship(Team as "Family")It doesn't matter if you're a Frosh or Senior,join a sport.It'll make the difference.Also,you could become known as an athlete,which is a big plus.
4)Most important,dont worry too much about attracting you're classmates.High school is about getting an education,having fun,partying,and ensuring you get to college(Or military,if that's your style).Of course,if you get the chance to hook up with a classmate or even
more than that,go for it.But just focus on the big picture.Everything will come eventually...IF you work hard to get it.

Doesn't matter what high school you go to,or what town you live in.In HS,this is the solid law that has been existent since the beginning of time.
As for October Man,no need for that in HS.The key theme of HS game...Is popularity(Unfortunately).
You need to know people,and more importantly,BE KNOWN,in order to work some low level game.Since HS is a microscopic part of the social world,everyone will know everyone else,and one wrong move....
...game over.
However,if you still want to work on stuff like October Man,Peacocking,openers,and all the PUA fundamentals,try outside of school,where no one will be as likely to know you.
High school,in reality,is SUPER EASY,and had I realized that before junior year,things would have changed.I hope that I can help you guys not make the same mistake.
