Jade408 : After high school, when I went to college, there was a huge difference on looks on women. They were gorgeous in West Valley College.

Reading the OP again, I'd say you're right. I just figured that it was a given that a person could improve his/her body with some effort, so I assumed the OP must have been talking about the entire package.

True, I was thinking more in terms of things your average person could do on his/her own, like makeup, changing hairstyles, etc.

OMG, come on people, I said good looking. Face is pretty much included. I did not ask about weight loss and bodybuilding.

No, get a manly haircut. LOL.

Yes for both men and women. Many people grow later, both physically and in style. And most of the popular girls in high school were only popular because they put out. I wouldn't touch many of them now with a ten foot pole. Some women that I know now that are very pretty show me awkward high school photos that are hard to believe.

So again, yes on both.

I'll disagree on this. The most popular girls (in terms of admiration) were the facially prettiest ones, provided they were also thin or average in body type. The most popular girls (in terms of "popularity") were the surfer girls or marijuana/patchouli oil girls who put out. This was in SoCal.

I think many women have to grow into their womanly looks.....

I like this thread in a way. It sort of bolts onto my "locked in" personality and self-esteem thread.

I'd like to add that, while people can change and "kick up" their appearance, it is better to take it into a different sphere. Most people who lost track of you at 18 will keep you there, regardless of how much you've changed physically, socially and intellectually. If you move into a different circle or relocate, others will evaluate you at the point at which they met you.

You don't like the people you went to high school with, do you.

If you lose track of someone at 18 - what other choice to you have but to still see them as they were. I've found that when I've run into people that I haven't seen from high school - we both seem to have a whole new perspective on who we were then and who we are now. It's actually been pretty cool! Oh - and I went to high school in SoCal, too, so it's not like I'm from another planet or anything.

Is this a coincidence? You move onto a new thread and "stalk me" with an insult or assumption. Was it the mention of marijuana and patchouli oil and "easiness?" At my school, that's how it "shook out."

I don't need to explain the chronology of my life to you on line. I'll just say that I got different, and better, reactions as I progressed from HS to college to grad school and to work. Most people do.

Thank you. It's about midnight where you are. Why don't you get some sleep?
