Peer pressure is a natural social phenomenon. One selects the peers one is influenced by. What is funny is how it has been given so much negative connotation. Parents also don't tend to realize that they use the peer pressure argument for their own advantage. The government does the same thing, but fails - e.g. the "above the influence ads."

For me none, I'm an alpha personality. I always lead.
Actually, since a lot of people followed me, I was influenced by peer pressure. In the way I presented myself before I go out,In the way I talked to women.
I always use to say,"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you look doing it"
Peer pressure had everything to do with my decisions even as a leader

Perhaps when I was younger, peer pressure made an impact on me and any decisions I made. But that happens with everyone in their youth. It's just how it is. But recently, it has no influence on me whatsoever. It was a happy day when I realized that peer pressure had no hold over me.

Peers, peers?, we don't need no stinking peers. lol
just kidding--Not much, I don't interact much with people. I guess how I dress is mildly influenced by what some people might think, I mean, I have to be somewhat presentable when I go out in the world...

You know, anyone who says it doesn't is either lying or not very in tune with themselves.
The older I get, the less I worry about what others think. But I suspect it'll take a coma or dementia before I fully let loose.
If I had to put a number on it, I'd say ..... on average it would be 35%. Still fairly high, but if you let it get too low you start wearing stretch pants and stop washing your hair.

Very little! I am usually strong in my mind about things and I know what I want/need. I know what's best for me, and I don't allow the "in crowd" to drag me along in anything.
My girlfriends in college always tried to get me to smoke weed with them, but I constantly refused it b/c I didn't like smoking, and still don't. I prefer drinking; that's just my thing. And I don't even drink that much anymore!

no, if I gave into peer pressure my hair would be damaged, my skin would be fried, I'd be fat and never exercise, I would listen to bad music, do drugs, be a slut.....
you basically get the idea.
