Dudes who peak at 18. How do they cope?

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

For me I didn't get much play in high school really. My confidence was terrible and I could only show my personality and be funny etc. around people I knew well. I played sports but the other dudes were on another level. The way they'd talk to girls I'd just sit back and

In college I started to open up a lot more and find my way. Now it's like "what the hell was wrong with me back then?"

A lot of those same friends I had are looking pretty these days. Sitting around telling stories instead of creating them. I'm kind of happy how my life worked out now.

Best way in my opinion, nikkas had it handed to em when they were younger we had to work for it. We developed personality and shyt like a ugly girl turned fine. Now it's all come full circle and we eatin out here

Also you answered your own question. I was chillin with some old friends from high school a few weeks ago, they did the whole football thing and now they were kinda just chillin at home gettin arrested and shyt. I noticed all they wanted to talk about were they football days, they sounded old as fukk and we only graduated in 2012

I'm the opposite. I used to be a good looking cat in high school/early college. Came into my own and got a really handsome masculine face. Had a lot of white girls telling me I was the curtest black guy they'd ever seen. You know that had a pre-militant nikka feeling

But time went on and all my friends had growth spurts or got more grown looking. I staid the same height and the only thing that changed is my face started getting fatter and my features got slightly...rougher. Now I look nothing like the old me and I recently passed some beckies and they were like omg is that aaaaaaaaa? " and not in a good way.

I guess the worst thing about it is knowing that that part of my life is over and I never even got to take advantage of it. I was always a sensitive artsy nikka always more interested in literature and film than partying and fukking. A lot of the girls who thew themselves at me I just made friends with. I'm not exaggerating the amount of attention I got. Girls I had never met knew about me just from notoriety. And I didn't do anything...I just looked good. But now that's basically over and I'm just another somewhat good looking nikka (as opposed to the beauty that I was)
The other thing that pisses me off is how my old school friends whos bytches I could have easily stole now come at me like

im interested in knowing the difference in your peak and decline when it came to female attention.

What was the biggest difference between handsome and good looking? less approaches?

I was thinking about the same thing OP
In high school it's like everyone has to have same interest dress similar or do similar things or you won't have much friends and that's pretty important in high school
In college your by yourself so you get to do the things you like I guess

These type of threads come off as preaching to the choir of "losers" who still have a chip on their shoulder against the popular kids.

Less approaches, less , less of that special attention by ladies everywhere I went that I thought was normal. Any coffee shop or target I went to the counter girl would be like and would be mad nice. It wasn't sexual it was just very nice friendly behavior.

I also got a lot of attention from random women. Like grown ass women in stores asking me to come talk to their daughters or telling me I'm handsome.
Girls looking at me and giggling.
Not having to try to get girls.
Not having to try to get girls attention.
Getting eye-fukked by random chicks.
Getting eye-fukked by chicks out with their men.
This was especially validating when it was a white couple and the dude was tall and studdish.
Random nikkas being mad nice.
All my jokes being funny.
Being able to say or do anything and get away with it.
Never having to call anybody first.
People always having some interest in me and what I'm doing.

There's a sort of intrinsic value being good looking gives you that's not discussed.
