At my school, there was actually one guy that did the same thing, but to attract the attention of girls. I think it worked. He actually dated one of the few girls at our school that did that for a week or so. She tended to go through boyfriends rather fast, to the point of some of us joking about starting a pool for how long her new boyfriend was going to last. She wasn't a bad person or anything, I liked her, but that doesn't mean that we weren't going to make jokes at her expense, nobody gets that kind of treatment, not Gandhi or Mother Teresa.
