Went to my 30-yr Reunion

[rawdeal]

Shit. All my HS Guidance Counselor kept pushing was law school or med school .

She had major hard nips going on the whole night, lol.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I'm jealous you all have reunions. I always wanted to go and see what everyone looks like or changed to, but nope, I will never know.

My 30th is coming up in several years. I see a lot of people from high school on social media, so I know how good and/or bad a lot of them have aged lol.

I think the thing that amazes me the most is how bad some people let themselves go. I mean, I know people age differently, but some just obviously flat out said eff it. 10-year reunion is when everyone's trying to show off, 20-year is everyone still trying to look young. I guess we'll see what 30 has in store lol.

The thing that is fukked, is the whole filter world when taking pictures. Some of these ladies still look good when filtered, but when you see them in person, they are night and day different....like dog ass vs hot ass, lol. I get it, they still want to look good, but jeez-Louise.

I know genetics play a huge role in all this, but I mean, i'm not sure what I am doing different than almost everybody else??? I almost felt out of place

I don't dye my hair from any gray, and I don't use any Dysport or stuff like that. I use Retin-A around my eyes, forehead and nose when I remember to, but that's about it. Outside of training, trying to stay mostly lean and smaller these days, staying hydrated, using sun screen, and maybe collagen......errrr and trt doses year-round....is that the difference? I haven't used HGH in many many many years now...like maybe 15 years

I have gray on the sides of my head, but I cut my hair short on the sides and it helps.

There were maybe 1-2 other guys there who looked good for their ages.

Some days i feel like maybe my luck will run out and i'll age 20 years over night....I am always stressed the fuck out these days.

Social media (Facebook for most of us older ones) really put a dent in reunions.
I went to my 25th - there wasn’t much publicity around it and had someone not texted me, I wouldn’t have found out about it.


Graduating class was almost 600 yet about 60 people showed and most of them looked like shit. Some still stuck in the small town syndrome and wearing Jordan’s to an event.

definitely pumped up my ego a bit - I left my hometown in 97 and never looked back.

My class missed the 45 year this year. There are so few of us. My entire high school only had 126 in it. Someone is trying to put together something for next year I believe to invite everyone that graduated regardless of the year.

It was fun. I was dead tired as i was sick all week, and then I had my daughter's cross-country championship meet earlier that day. I was an hour late because I almost fell asleep and debated for like 45 minutes if i wanted to just take a nap or go, lol. Was supposed to meet my best friend and his wife there, but they obviously got there before me.

Anyway, the place it was at was a restaurant that had 2-3 dining halls for parties. I didn't know which one it was in. I drive into the parking lot and one of the hall doors were open and I look in and it looked like a GODDAMN BINGO reunion night for old people. I asked a staff member where the reunion was, and they pointed to "the old people" hall....eeek!!!

I go in and everybody looked so g-damn old, I had to read name tags to remember who I was talking to for half the people. A lot were people i knew very well too. All the guys were fat, bald, gray...except for a handful or so. The women.....Jesus, I swear they looked like wrinkled piles of crap. Some had a ton of botox and stuff done on their faces, lol. Is this supposed to be that bad at mid-late 40's????

The few female friends who were decent looking kept hanging on me in front of their husbands to the point it was super uncomfortable. One girl was caressing my face telling me how good I looked while her husband was just sort of standing there. She had major hard nips going on the whole night, lol.

I had one married friend, who is a twin, and she was decent looking, though lots of facial work done. She was wanting me to go with her to "the after party," lol.

I know i'm old when the damn reunion states it's from 6-10pm, lol.

One older guy, 57 IIRC (sorry dudes, i'm almost to the 5-0, but no0t yet, haha), came up and was telling me how good I looked and that there was nobody even on my level that looked the way I did, and told me I looked super young. He's married to another old female friend of mine.

Anyway...I had fun catching up with old friends, which I guess is the point of it all. I wasn't really going there to hook up....though it would have been nice to get some tail action. I may have taken the one chick up on her offer had I not had to wake-up early the next day for my daughter's Sunday race. When it was over and i was getting into my car, my daughter actually called me and told me "you need to come home so you don't wake-up late for my race the next day." That pretty much sealed the deal for me.....I melt when it comes to my daughter. She is my princess and my favorite woman on the planet.

I've been single for the last 4'ish years, and I haven't really looked around to be honest. I work with a bunch of women at the school i'm at, but they are either older or half my age it seems....and all married, lol. I'm no spring chicken, but fuck me I was really disgusted by all the women I seen at the reunion

Anybody else go to their reunions?

No but I went to a scientific society meeting last week that I joined in 1995. It was like you said. Old women feeling me up and telling me how good I look. I coulda but I didn't. It's getting worse out there. The younger guys all looked emo or fat or both but a lot of the young chicks were hot. I don't know what the fuck happened to men. At 63 I shouldn't be the most fit guy in the mob.

I went to our BW reunion in May of this year and there were a few old and fat people in the room but that environment has a lot of people who maintain so the concentration of people in good shape is still very high. Although I am 51 in 2 weeks and we are getting old. Plus, BW went out of business about 15 years ago? They aint making any more of us.

Glad you got to go hang out and have a good time bro.

Nope , I don't think they have reunions for GED classes

Same. I decided to stop going to high school halfway through the first year. It was boring. Stayed home for 3 years and read thousands of books instead. Then took the GED when I was 17. Then the ASVAB.

Turns out I didn't miss a thing!

Hit a 99 on the ASVAB , they made me take it again, same score.

Once we moved , Momma was the town librarian most of my best friends were books. Got in trouble once at school for trying to read and do a report on the Dictionary.

Told the teacher ,, I don't want to read your books , I want to read this one and write my own. They were oddly offended by a 4th grader.

I'm curious Yano, what were the most formative books for young Yano?
