Was I fuckable in high school?

1981: I think this may have been the only time I smiled after age 12. I had acne, and was ostracized and berated as a fag. I sat in the back of the class and had no friends. Thoughts of suicide or running away were safety valves. Due to my low self-esteem I didn't go to college or lose my virginity until my early 20s.

What kept my spirits up while I worked fast food jobs after h.s. was the gender-bending British invasion of the early 80s: The Eurythmics, Culture Club, Adam Ant...

You remind me of a young Bryan Cranston.

You were a minor so this thread is suspect.

You need to stop looking at your old photos and ruminating on the past, OP. Nothing good or useful can come from that.

Having said that, yes, you were cute. Way cuter than I ever was.

A bit old but do-able.

Very.

Nice smile OP.

by Anonymousreply 7July 1, 2025 6:35 PM

Nice smile - good facial structure.

You were fine OP.

Looks in Jr and Sr High were so subjective. There were a lot of average girls and guys who, because they were popular or were friends with the right people, got elevated to a status they didn't deserve.

Then there were very good looking girls and guys who hadn't quite pulled everything together yet, but were clearly better looking than the 'hot' crowd.

"You need to stop looking at your old photos"

I found it one time on some yearbook website, now gone. I never ordered h.s. class pics, and refused to sit for a senior pic. It's all I have from that era.

I would’ve fucked you, OP, and I didn’t just fuck anyone in high school. I usually stuck to my male teachers. You were cute through. You had a playful American innocence of that time too that I’m certain was soon thereafter crushed and your soul turned to tatters.

by Anonymousreply 10July 3, 2025 3:08 AM

Hard to tell because that's such a poor quality picture. I would say you were at the very least average. Not that it matters.

by Anonymousreply 11July 3, 2025 3:23 AM

OP, did you wear a cake cutter in your back pocket?

by Anonymousreply 12July 3, 2025 3:35 AM

You look like the kind of boy I could see myself adopting.

by Anonymousreply 13July 3, 2025 3:49 AM

Hey posters.....we don't know if that photo is really of the OP. It might be the current boyfriend of OP's ex who he's trying to humiliate.

We're not supposed to post pictures of our anonymous selves here, are we??

Would you have let someone molest you??

by Anonymousreply 15July 3, 2025 4:04 AM

Were you this needy for approval in HS, OP? Your pic says nothing. You could have been a jock, class president, A/V kid. The pic is a totally average kid 40 years ago. Stop living in the past and make your life meaningful.

by Anonymousreply 16July 3, 2025 5:31 AM

To me "average" is a compliment. Thank you.

Because people always shunned me like I was The Elephant Man or the kid in Mask. No one ever spoke or wanted to sit by me. Kids were status-conscious and didn't want to be seen consorting with homosexuals.

by Anonymousreply 17July 5, 2025 1:40 AM

To tell the truth, OP, if I had been your classmate you would have been getting shy appreciative glances from me; and I would have blushed a deep deep crimson if I saw that you caught me doing so.

by Anonymousreply 18July 5, 2025 2:11 AM

You need to let go of the painful past. It’s done and it can’t be changed. It’s a part of you, but it’s not all of you.

All we really have is the here and now. Focus your energies on living in the present, with acknowledgement and respect to the awkward adolescent that you once were but aren’t anymore. Give him love and release him.

We are all broken in some sense. Let the light shine through the cracks.

Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs.

I don't live in the past. I just wish we could go back, put an arm around our own shoulders and promise that 'it gets better'.

This is me today. Retired from the public library after 30 years and working an easy Security job for extra cash.

I had a thing for Kristy McNichol back in the day, so yes.

I would have had sex with you when I was in high school, OP. But then, to be honest, I was desperate to have sex with [italic]anyone.[/italic]

by Anonymousreply 26July 5, 2025 6:42 PM

Is that a rug? Dyed hair?

by Anonymousreply 27July 5, 2025 9:08 PM

You look fine, but posting this online is not attractive...cringe, as the kids say.

by Anonymousreply 28July 5, 2025 9:13 PM

You grew into your gayface, OP. Not sure why you are opening yourself up to criticism though.

by Anonymousreply 29July 5, 2025 9:36 PM

This entire thread is giving me bad vibes

Actually you look good for being in your 60s
