"Everybody Loves Revan"

Perhaps, but only hard to get dates with shallow people.

When I met my now husband we were 4, friends for ages. But the guy was a geek, came from a poor family, wasn't a looker by any stretch of the word and not at all sporty. Hooked up at our junior prom and kinda stayed together, everyone said I was stupid and out of his league.

He's now a doctor, earns more than enough to keep us afloat, got fit by going to the gym in sixth form and came out of puberty hotter than most guys I've ever met.

And I honestly don't give a shit, the reason I liked him was because he was nervous and made me laugh...

I know I'm getting personal but whatever 😛

I don't think I mentioned that, no...

But I lived near there for about a year.

Kewl thanks, quick glance it looks interesting, I'm gonna explore Yavin more to see if I can find all that, sounds pretty OP.

Thanks for telling me though, that didn't pop up. I also had a PM from Legend about my attitude in debates 😆

There was never any "nerds vs. jocks" garbage in my high school.

Most of the "popular" jocks were both athletic and performed well in school. I never saw someone stigmatized for being intelligent. For having certain interests in media, maybe, but that doesn't usually imply intelligence, and even then I knew ****ing juggalos who were popular, as well as weaboos and gamers.

Glad I never went to one of you guys' shitty high schools.

I feel like that dynamic doesn't really exist beyond the mid-90's, or whatever.

Most of the popular kids in my High School were athletes as well as gamers, honor roll students etc.

I'm 26.

Stealth Moose is over 30, I believe, and so is Nai. I think missmith is the oldest here.

BTW, how could you not tell Ant was very young? Also, I would have guessed Skillz to be a lot older.

Well nerd vs Jock isn't always the worst, though it is the stereotypical one.

There was this Bi kid in my year, came out at age 12 and was very.., open about his sexual experiences. Cocky as sin, real 4chan kinda guy, but he got alienated by everyone because of his orientation and the fact he was so open about it.

Only had a couple friends, probably my biggest regret is how I reacted to him, blanked him most of the time because he was kinda scary.
Probably the person I admired the most, looking back on it, since he really didn't give a flying **** who cared about his life. Those are the worst though, people bullied for actual life choices, which is the issue you really do see in the world today from what I gather.

He turned out great but there was a girl in the year above who killed herself from manic depression... High school was hard

There was however a huge divide between Jock and Nerd at my school, but I think it was the fact that the Jocks started partying at a young age and were shockingly sexually active from age 14-15, and that Seperated things more than bullying ever would
