[quote=Anonymous]I recently spent time with a high school friend of mine. We’re in our late 30’s and married. We had a couple of glasses of wine and dug our our old yearbooks. As we were flipping through, we kept saying “wow, so-and-so was so pretty”. To our grown-up eyes, the girls who got a lot of attention from boys and many of the girls who didn’t date at all were no different in terms of physical attractiveness, niceness, good grades, etc. It comes down to a comfort level and natural flirtatiousness. I always had boyfriends; my friend didn’t have a boyfriend until college. I had sex in high school; she had a few kisses. I always gravitated toward boys as friends as early as preschool; she gravitated toward and stuck with a wide variety of female friends. It’s not about being pretty and having an awesome personality. It’s somewhat innate. My mom definitely didn’t push me to be interested in boys, in fact I suspect she would have preferred that I focused on other things. I also think there is a huge variation in sexual desire in teens that is often not discussed. I was constantly horny and boy crazy starting in puberty, so I courted attention. My friend liked boys and thought they were cute, but didn’t feel overwhelming desire until she was an adult in real love with a man. [/quote]
