This post is pretty simple, requires only a little bit of explaining: I'm on the debate team, and I need a partner. My best choice, debatewise, is this kid, let's call him M. He's a pretty good debater, went 3-1. I'm pretty good as well, so I think we could do pretty well together. Problem is, he's beta as fuck- he's fat, annoying, not liked by anyone, kinda made fun of. I feel like if I'm his partner, they'll group me and him together socially. Don't get me wrong, I'm not super--popular, but I'm not outright laughed at like he is. My SMV is rising because of lifting, and I'm worried it'll go down if I start talking and hanging out with him.
