As I am 28 I look around at my life and realize that a hell of a lot has changed since I was 18. Also since I started college a few years ago. These changes haven't necessarily just been with me... however it has had a lot to do with how I am and how I act.

First off for heterosexual men like me... women are getting hotter and finally begin to know what they want and how to use what they have. Sex... dear lord is obscenely better than it ever was with the hottest girlfriend I had in my teens. Also... women are comfortable to be out with you... they will wear the clothes that make them look hot and have no problem wearing them around you whether you're their boyfriend or not. Women also think it's funny to make out with you and the girl you liked from the bar... for some odd reason at this point in life sex is awesome with one partner... but they usually want another and for once you're not a perv for asking for that too.

Now for gays... NEVER turn down a gay friend be them lesbians or gay men. The reasons are multiple... with gay men... they can take you shopping with them and help you actually find clothes that are comfortable and do make you look good... it's like having your own fashion assistant. Also... gay men like to drink just like you do... except they don't want that shitty whiskey that makes you look tough... they want to try drinks that actually don't taste like horse p***. Gay men are also a chick magnet... not sure why except it's kind of like waving this giant advertising flag saying, "I don't judge people!".

Lesbian women are not against doing things with you regardless of how butch they may try to act... also they notice hot women faster than you do and they can go have 'women talks' about you hooking up with anyone you meet. I know it's heartbreaking to meet that amazing woman who is so hot you feel like you'd get burned trying to grab her *** and shes a lesbian... on the bright side she will think it's funny to make out with you when shes drunk and that can lead to more fun.

On the down side... you're finally beginning to realize who is growing up and becoming a full fledged adult and who isn't. Time to start snipping those ties to that drama queen and your male divas. Also you're either in college... or sitting behind a grill in Taco Bell like most of your graduating class. For many of us... our late teens and early twenties was concerts, parties, and other not so legal to talk about events... basically living the youth you got robbed of by your parents. Now you're either getting your **** together or getting it kicked out. If you walk in talking about how bad your classes were... how much of a pain that exam was... or how boring your psychology class was... you're standing proud. Most come in complaining about how their boss keeps calling them lazy and complaining that they can't keep track of forty burgers on the industrial grill and shouldn't be held responsible for burning a few of them.

Just some food for thought... not trying to toot my own horn... just looking to see if others agree.
