    Gotta say, this one hits home for me.

    Someone sent me a really old photo today from 9th grade with my much more handsome younger self and a cute girl with her arms wrapped around me.

    Reminded me of when women used to throw themselves at me when I was that age but I was deathly afraid of doing anything. I didn’t kiss my first girlfriend for a month.

    The one time I had 2 promiscuous girls sleep in my bed with me in like 10th grade and I did nothing is permanently seared into my memory.

    I’m 35 now and single and that just doesn’t happen anymore. Not sure if it’s because I aged poorly or because they’re all just married with kids at this point.

      Least you didn’t knock a girl up in 10th grade. There’s worse things that could have happened. And 30s are not kind to people that don’t have the energy to be outgoing
