Yeah dude, for real. If your reunions are anything like mine, most of the men are fat, totally gray (if they have any hair left at all), pretty much inactive (a lot are dead) and a lot haven't really advanced to anything.

I've seen your picture and you're none of those.

My reunions have lots of pickens if I wanted 'em. See my next post.
Uh, don't believe I have ever had a current picture on the Advice site. I used to have baby pictures and photos from my college days. The current photo is of my parents circa 1940. There is one part of what you said about me that is true though, I am not fat. The gray and / or no hair part I do fit.

When I went to my 30th reunion, the only one I was ever notified of, there were three types of people there. Those who time had been kind to, those who time had not been kind to and those who were still living in the '60s.

See my above reply to LadyJuJu re: the "in crowd". When I went to school you went to your neighborhood school. My high school served an area that was home to mostly doctors, lawyers, and executives and was quite wealthy. We moved to that area when it was out in the boonies and had become popular for the rich and elite. Being neither rich nor elite I mostly did not fit in.

Gr8Guyn2008:
I think there's some truth to what you say. I want to a private all boys catholic high school. 155 in my graduating class. My sister also went to private school. There were 15 in her graduating class. At least she went on scholarships. My dad worked his butt off to come up with the money for my tuition. I never did fit in. I wasn't an athelete, popular or smart. One of my classmates father brought him a 1963 corvette convertible for his 16th birthday. My dad brought our first car a 1960 Nash Rambler station wagon. So I hung out in the neighborhood with its row houses and front steps. I never made life long friends from high school, so there's no real reason to go back to a reunion. Maybe I'll change my mind, my 45th is next year.

A few years ago, I met up with three former high school boyfriends -- of course we are all middle aged now and comfortable with ourselves, so it was pleasant to chat with them. They were nice guys in school, and they are nice men now. No one is setting the world on fire, but they grew up into good, responsible men. I truly enjoyed our visit, and I felt quite gratified that they were all so nice and normal because my elder sister spent all of my high school years telling me how AWFUL my taste in boys was! So, ha! to her!
