So yeah there can be some people who just don't mesh with you but there can also be some great people. I met a few on Match.com but Alan was by far the best guy I have ever met.

Looking around on a huge site like Match.com was like having 10 friends who know you really well each put five guys that they think are well-suited to you into a room, in suspended animation. You have keys to the room and can go in and spend time with whichever one you want, any time, night or day. Since they were all recommended by friends, there are hardly any losers or jerks in the bunch. Man, is it just me, or is it getting hot in here?

At the 5-year reunion, everybody was approximately 23 years old. Mostly people were just done with college or finishing up, maybe starting grad school or establishing themselves in a new job. You damn near couldn't have told the difference between any of us then and back in school. Fast forward 5 years to the 10-year reunion; the typical age was then 28. The difference was unbelievable. It was like half the class all of a sudden decided to grow up and become themselves. It's hard to explain, and the changes weren't entirely physical, but I really had an overwhelming impression that, like you say, many of the people were just comfortable in their own skin in a way they hadn't been back before. |

26 (almost 27); male; not beaten-with-a-stick-ugly, but not Brad Pitt either.
As far as my love life goes, it keeps getting better as I get older. As I've gotten older, I've become more comfortable with who I am, and that kind of confidence apparently works (to apply the 'comfortable in one's own skin' concept to myself) as just over the past year or so I've gone on more dates with more extremely attractive (not just good looking, but intelligent, well-spoken, funny women) than I would have ever dreamed possible even a couple of years ago. Also, my crazy-radar has become more sensitive, so I can tell which ones to avoid almost from the get-go (it's amazing how much you can tell about a person from the way they walk and carry themselves).
