OT: Were you a ladies man in high school?

I still remember all those hours I spent when at 24 14 imagining what a breast might feel like.

Although, I am into ladies. So technically, I'd call myself a ladies man. I am, in fact, into ladies. I'll take that back, that last sentence was misleading. I wasn't very good with the "into ladies" part, hence the subject of "nope." I do, however, dig the ladies. Because of this, I consider myself a ladies man. Maybe this type of tangent is why I only dug the ladies, and never got "into" ladies.

I'm one of the lucky few. I was the captain of the football team and the homecoming king... it really doesn't get too much easier than that!

Okay, so you asked, so you get a long story. No, I was really not a huge ladies man in HS. I was more into cars and in general older girls. I did have some luck in that department. Which leads to the tangentially related story: So in HS I worked at a pizzeria. Friday and Saturday night my peers were partying it up, I was washing dishes with a 40 year old dude named Clyde who drove a rusting Buick and had three kids with two women. It also kills chances to date. There was this insanely hot waitress though, age 23, high school cheerleader who still had a smoking body, but no degree. She was a lot more filled out than most HS girls and every guy in there loved her rack. She'd been expelled from HS, we never found out why, lots of rumors though. Let's call her Joanna. I had two younger male coworkers, both in their early 20s, lets call them Brian and Kyle, we'd occasionally hang out when we got out of work. Brian was a nice guy, but not all that bright. He went on to get an associates degree and a solid 9 to 5 job. He's still the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back if you asked for it. Kyle was a douchebag and later ended up in jail because he was dealing drugs and nailing underage girls. The cops caught him with a 15 year old and a baggy of crack. One night Kyle came to Brian and me and said "Look guys, I got this really great weed, its from Jamiaca, I'm going to invite Joanna over and blow her mind with this weed! I need you guys to come though so it looks like a work party and she won't get weirded out." We agreed. So at 3 am we're sitting there in Kyle's apartment. We have two thirty packs of Natty Ice and Kyle's "super pot". Kyle is going on and on all this stuff, how amazing it is. I'd never smoked before and wasn't about to start, so I wasn't paying much attention. Anyways Kyle and Brian decide it would horrible to waste this stuff, so they're going to smoke just one bowl real quick in the utility room. The utility room is a tiny little area with the furnance and the water heater in it. Their master plan was to go in there with some beer, seal the place up so the fumes can't escape and then smoke a bowl. After that Kyle is going to come out and woo Joanna. Well the pot and/or the beer must have been good. Because half an hour later Brian emerges, wordlessly gets more beer and the rest of the pot and goes back in to hotbox it back up. I'm sitting there with Joanna and Joanna looks at me and goes "I'm bored, want to do something...". Now this is how much of a lady's man I was, my reply was... Well Kyle has Nintendo 64, Goldeneye is a lot of fun. Yeah really, beat your head against the wall in disgust at dumb little 16 year old CRex. Luckily for me Joanna adjusted her approach to be slightly more direct and I learned a few things that night. The next day, Saturday, I come in for my night shift and Brian and Kyle are sitting out back smoking. Kyle it appears decided it was a good idea to make out with the hot water heater some time last night and has the remains of this weird rash where he decided to french kiss fiber glass insulation. He's lamenting passing out, but hey he bought some more pot before work tonight and he's going to invite Joanna over again. I don't really say anything. As we're standing there, Joanna arrives for her shift. As she's walking by she smiles at me, blows me a little kiss and goes "Hey Crex, I get off at 9, see if George will let you off early and we can go do something." Luckily Brian was a nice guy and pinned Kyle down before Kyle could beat the crap out of me. Like I said Kyle was not the nice type and ended up in jail. We dated for most of high school, mostly just for fun. She was great fun, 23 and able to buy booze and a total bad girl. I think she got off on corrupting me. For my 17th birthday she got a me fake ID so we could go to bars together. She eventually got a job at a hotel bar and late one night cleaned out the safe and fled to Mexico, all over the 4k in the safe. We exchange postcards and I sent her a Michigan hoodie for Christmas. She was bad enough that when my principal saw us together at the mall he called my parents to warn them about her. My dad's response was "Well last year you called to tell us he was gay. Isn't this an improvement?" But that's another story and not as exciting. Other than though, pretty dateless aside from this cute girl in my AP Physics class.

but spent most of college a Man-Ho.

Wasn't much of a player but I did well in high school. Found the good ones and charmed the hell out of 'em. It's really a matter of finding the girls who fit your style. I liked the traditional damsels, who were attracted to the inherent masculinity and confidence in a laid-back dude like myself (but were savvy enough to sense the latent prowess of the wolf-within). For some reason, girls with really conservative dads loved me.

those were different times. At Huron, it was all about whether you were cool w. Shaky Jake (of course), or belonged to the Friday Afternoon Wine Drinker's Club, or were a Psychedelic Ranger at the Free Concerts (natch). Or worked at the State, which was still a movie house, and could sneak them in for some fun in the balcony (mais bien sur!) It wasn't about sports or band (?), though I did go out for the basketball team. But I was smoking two packs of cigarettes a day then; it didn't work out. . . which left me more time for cruising around in my 1956 Buick Super with Ellen B*** and Julie Gr****. Of course, if I hadn't maxed out the Michigan Competitive Scholarship Exam and scored a scholarship, I would have ended up at Washtenaw Community College and missed out on all the great women in the Residential College, but. . . I've been pretty lucky, I guess.

in my actual high school? no. i do have to say, though, being a male figure skater has its perks. one of them is that on the ice, i benefit from a ratio of 1 to 20 for guys to girls did it help me pick up chicks? let's just say i fared better on the ice than in school
