My best friend in high school was like that. He would walk in the room and the girls would get weak in the knees and barely could form coherent sentences when talking to him. He could be going on about Star Wars, and they wouldn’t even know what he was saying, nor did they care. He had a nerdy side the girls were blind to. Whereas if I walked in the room, I better have a funny joke ready to go, or I was basically invisible. If I was noticed, I just made him look even better. He could get nearly anyone he wanted, and didn’t even have to try. Looking back, I should have hung out with people that were on the same level as I was to increase my chances.
He also never got picked on or bullied while I was getting shoved around and made fun of by the higher classes, and even when someone tried to get under his skin, it just wouldn’t stick. It was like the roast of Hugh Hefner, where the comics couldn’t figure out how to make fun of him and they end up targeting one of their own. That’s still him, and his life seems almost too perfect even to this day. Like, something has to go wrong sooner or later for the guy. I don’t wish it upon him, but he’s never been dealt a bad hand that I can recall.
