Tbanks. I wasn’t going for anything too serious, but I wasn’t sure if it would still work for the perspective.

I enjoyed it. Bit of a fluff piece, but I suppose that’s what you were going for here.

Very interesting perspective. I feel like I’ve read hundreds of variants of this story from her perspective, but this is the first time I’ve seen anyone look at his.

Alas, I wasn’t wise enough to realize that until I was in my thirties. The lad I was in my twenties was too insecure to be patient. In hindsight, the woman in question had trust issues and so my impatience fed her insecurities just like her declarations of my unattractiveness fed mine.

“she considered me physically unattractive, and told me so frequently.”

Ed,

LOL, this is so funny. I had a few experiences of this type. Including one girl who rather thought I didn’t have enough class for her, and another that I wasn’t intelligent enough.

Massage and patience is the answer, and if I wanted ‘em enough to spend the time, I got every last one of ‘em.

They, and this girl you knew, was just playing hard to get. A good walk away, and stop negotiating would be a good start.

I’ve thought about that, but it’s not really going to work. I need the girl to be older than the boy by enough to matter. If she’s a senior cheerleader (17 or 18) and he’s a freshman, then it makes sense. But not if they’re both the same age.

But thanks for making the suggestion.

You know a lot more about the publishing world than I do, but is it possible for the story to run the old “18 year old high school seniors” routine?

Again, I don’t know if it would work for your story, but with March Madness coming around I’m reminded there are a lot of college cheerleaders around. Of course, college women don’t tend to walk around in their uniforms the way high school girls do.

Yeah, it’s a case of sterotyping, in this case combined with moralizing. Very very annoying.

Well said, Big Ed. Until very recently, my girlfried didn’t like science fiction (I use this example because the inane comments were made by a sci-fi writer) because her previous definition of science fiction was crappy stories which threw in a robot or rocket ship. My favorite genre is fantasy, led by J.R.R. Tolkein, and others of his ilk. I liked The Sword of Shanarra, (a direct steal from Tolkein) yet hated the following four or five unimaginative novels which retold the same plot with the same characters. I’ve seen too much trash in fantasy. When it is done correctly, it is awesome. I have read and watched too much porn which bored me mindless. However, there is a reason why Lady Chatterly’s Lover, Behind the Green Door, and others, are still selling, still considered classics. Most of us like to narrow the world into stereotypes – it’s easier to deal with. The more complex life becomes, the more prolific these easy to manage stereotypes will become: even among writers and others who should know better.
