I just found out that people with dimples are really poplar because 20% of people have them. I am one of those people but I'm not popular. Why?

There are many factors in popularity. No one thing is a guarantee, and no one thing is against it.

Popularity is overrated anyway. Having a few good friends sounds much better to me.

People can’t control whether they have dimples or not, but they can control what they say and do and how they treat people. That’s a better path to friendship.

I think you will be glad to know that as we mature and become adults, the vast majority of people stop worrying about whether or not they are popular. In time, you will stop wondering about it, too.

“I just found out that people with dimples are really poplar because 20% of people have them.”
Because poplar is a type of tree?

How could a facial feature be pop[u]lar?

Even if we believe whatever source proclaimed this, and assume it meant the most logical suggestion that comes to mind, that dimples may contribute to some people (teens? this sounds like teen thinking or journalism for teens) being liked, how could the “because 20% of people have them” part possibly make any logical sense?

So many logical chasms. Is this a serious question?

Having dimples is no guarantee, sweetie! Want to be popular? Be honest, really honest, with everyone you meet, including yourself.

Popularity and stars are highly overrated. Be yourself. That’s the best anybody can do to be popular.

It is hard to see, until later, when we get a little older.
Popularity is a label, meant to make people feel special. In truth, popularity, at least in school, is nothing more than a clutch if whiny, usually priviledged youth who cling to a fallacy in hopes their fears and vulnerabilities won’t be recognized or exploited. Freedom comes from recognizing this, and not needing to be isolated this way.
Be who you are. Gain strength within yourself.
When you get the help you need, and begin to heal, people will see that, and you will find the difference between friendship and popularity.
People will see the you that you are, and they will be drawn to your confidence, and, maybe your dimples too.

Picking your scabs works agains popularity.

I fail to see any validity in this bit if trivia whatsoever unless you were living in the Shirley Temple era. haha

I can’t think of one friend of mine who has dimples, but I like them anyway. Dimples don’t and shouldn’t matter to anyone as to whether they make a good friend or not.

Here are some things that I like about my friends:

They are funny, but not mean.

They have common interests with me.

They enjoy good conversation and include me in it.

They enjoy my company.

They are kind and helpful to me, especially when I’m feeling sad or need help.

They seek out my company and are glad to see me or hear from me.

They are intelligent, but not smug.

They don’t sit around and complain, but if they have a problem they let me know if they need help.

They are kind to me, their families, and other people, and animals.

They are polite and have common sense, and also have a great sense of humor.

They are interesting, and interested in lots of things.

They take their responsibilities seriously and ask for help when they need it, but they also seek out the proper kind of help, rather than just whining or complaining into the atmosphere. We help each other out. It’s never just a one way street.

They are open and not stand-offish.

They are not selfish or jealous, they like my family and my other friends.

Our conversations are not one sided, there is a natural give and take.

They like me for who I am.

Beautiful, @Kardamom.
