You may remember my post from yesterday about the guy who asked me to be exclusive right before going out of town. I was thinking about how he, a 29 year old, seemed overly attached to his middle school/high school experience but didn't have much to say about his life after high school graduation. This is a Thing I've noticed with other guys too. I dunno why but it kind of rubs me the wrong way. Just wondering if anyone has anecdotes about guys like this. Please share if you do!

I'm about to graduate summa cum laude from one of the top nursing programs in the nation and ALL my mom can talk about is: "Remember when your brother got straight A's in middle school?" Nothing I do will ever top that. He's now unemployed and sits around stoned and on kratom all the time. But did you know... that he once got straight A's in middle school?! Now, ain't that somethin'.
As a retired teacher and older woman, anyone who peaks as a young teen… has no life. No inner life, no life of the mind, no ambition, no life plan. Sad and scary since with that outlook - which they’re free to change at any moment - there’s nowhere to go but down. I would not want to see this guy at middle age and older.
Definitely dated this guy. Turns out all the cool things he said he’d done are things adults forced him to do in high school and as an adult all he had was a string of failures.
Example: “one of my hobbies is hiking and rock climbing“ translates to: “I hiked one trail with a beginner rock climber session for a school field trip.”
”I travelled in Europe” —again, school field trip. He wouldn‘t shut up about that trip.
He was in cadets through high school but in his 30s told people he had been in the army.
These are the men who THOUGHT they peaked in high school, not factoring in that adults did all the leg work for them. Once they reached the adult world they realized they weren’t special handsome geniuses who could achieve whatever they wanted, but idiots who had never accomplished anything on their own merit. So they lie to themselves and to women. Their girlfriends only last as long as they can keep up the lies.
These kinda guys have nothing going for them. They typically haven’t achieved much since high school and probably won’t achieve much in the future.
What’s his career? is he successful in it? does he enjoy his work? Does he have hobbies? Friends?
it’s weird at 29 to only be talking about high school achievements. He must have done other things in the 10 years he’s been graduated.
When a grown man talks about highschool a lil too much = life on easy mode + lame ass joker origin story + excuses to be an abuser and/or pedophile
Detectives generally refer to this as a cold case.
