Real. The most popular guy in high school Sat next to me in physics class and he was always really nice. Even gave me rides home on rainy days after school. Cool dude.
@hypnautix_ I'm no longer in school but when I was there was this 6ft8in guy who was cool with everyone even me who didn't like most people, usually if a bully is popular they're either rich or people just fear him
Everybody applies this to less good looking less popular people, ive made the mistake kf judging beautiful people and thinking theyre a bad person. this is an excellent example of this
My father was a real baddie. He was the guy that stood smoking in a leather jacket next to a building. He's the kindest soul now, he's very eloquent and still in a different way cool. He even stopped smoking, for my mother, which is awesome😃
This story is similar to my parents story except they didn’t go to the same school. My mom wasn’t exactly the “nerdy” girl, but she was smart and well liked. My dad, however, was basically what people today would call a “Chad.” They met during a hard patch in their relationships (Dad had an engagement fall through and Mom was going through a divorce) and 40 years, two kids and two successful businesses later, we are here!
So literally nothing about is similar to your parents' besides your dad may have been popular. So glad you were still able to link this completely unrelated story back to yourself
I had a crush on this football player in high school because he was a really kind and understanding person. I found out that he started dating this girl in our grade who was a mathlete and looked like a stereotypical nerd girl just with darker skin. At first I was a little heart broken. But then I saw them interacting eith each other and it was so cute and sweet I couldn't help but support their relationship. They are married now with a kid. Still so happy for them 😁
@@pinkymoon2971 Well, not usually stereotypical nerd girls often shown on TV. She was just like the stereotypical nerd girl in movies/shows but was a mix of Indian and Mexican. That's a lot to type, so I just shortened it. Sorry for the confusion! 😁 Edit: I should also mention that I'm a huge geek and a black woman.
we aren’t like adults adults now but my boyfriend was a jock and just all around a guys guy in highschool, was more on the popular end and knew everyone. went to parties, drank, ect. i ended out highschool early because i was getting bullied pretty badly and i had no friends. i had been getting bullied for a good couple years at that point and realized looking back that it had been happening a little earlier than i recall, because kids are mean. we were on completely opposite sides of the high school food chain. now we’ve been together for three years, have five cats, and i sit and watch him play elden ring cause it turns out he’s also a complete dork. it’s awesome, i love him.
It’s not *quite* like this story but this couple does remind me a little of my grandparents. She wasn’t what I’d call nerdy but my grandmother did well in school academics, played hockey, loved reading and was painfully shy and had bad anxiety and self esteem issues (the last two lasted her whole life). She was born and brought up in a small village, went to school there, everyone knew everyone and their business. My grandfather, he was what you’d call a lone wolf. He didn’t talk a lot, was in trouble and had detention quite often. Teachers didn’t like him much. He, his brother and their parents moved to the village when he was in his mid teens and the teenage girls soon had big crushes on him (including one of my grandmother’s sisters) but he wasn’t interested. He had black hair, olive skin, was deemed very good looking, he looked very different to most people around (even though this all happened in Wales and he’s half welsh). My grandmother had a crush on him but didn’t think he’d ever look at her because she didn’t think much of herself and he was so good looking. However, one day, it was tipping it down with rain and separately, they were both out in it for different reasons but my grandmother had an umbrella but my grandfather did not. Anyway, they both had to cross this particular road which had a middle island between the lanes, one was crossing one way and the other was crossing the other way and they bumped into each other whilst on that island. My grandmother offered to share her umbrella with him and that was that. There’s more to their relationships and then marriage later on but for now, three children later and they were happily married for 41 years until my grandmother died at the age of 62.
can i please know the rest of your grandparents' love story, its very interesting even in its beginning 😭 ...pleeeaaaseeee💙would cherish it if i could know
My dad was the cool guy in school. He played sports, teachers would give him A’s on things he didn’t complete so he could play, and he was extremely popular. My mom was a nerd and “nobody” (as she says). They’re married almost 40 years, he got his MA, and he’s a retired pastor. He’s the best dad I could have hoped for 😊
My grandma was the nerdy girl who had all As, spent all her time in the library, and did everything possible for extra credit. My grandpa was the jock, with bad grades, a love for sports, and had a new girlfriend every two weeks. I'm not sure how they met, but I remember my grandpa telling me he went to my grandma's house and begged her father to let him marry her. They got married when she was 19, and he was twenty, they've been married for about 45 years. Whenever I go to visit them, it's magic, like true soulmates.
@@SemekiIzuio that’s one song. I’m talking about the cultural staple. The Big Bang Theory was ALL about the nerdy guy getting the hot girl. There was “Beauty and the Geek,” there are countless movies and books and tv shows featuring this trope. There’s hardly ever the reverse, the closest being the “glow up” wherein the “ugly”/awkward girl is transformed into being socially acceptable and conventionally attractive and THEN she gets the hot guy.
@@Mayakran bro its like you haven't delved into other media, I mean there's Ugly Betty and Taylor swift song is a v popular song there for its not "a twist" lmao
@@SemekiIzuio that’s two examples. One Taylor Swift song and a TV show. There is FAR more media featuring geeky men with pretty girls if for no other reason than the fact that men used to be more of the target audience. Women have traditionally (and still are) more valued for their looks, men think their value lies in other things. Look at cartoons-Fred and Wilma from the Flintstones, Jessica and Roger Rabbit, nearly any early sitcom wife and husband pairing. The men are the default, the “protagonist” and they “earn” the pretty girl as a prize.
My parents are what you would consider "cool" I guess. My dad worked at a canteen near my mom's university. He was the hardworking, stern, handsome guy that girls fawn over. (according to him) And my mom was the beautiful, tall, varsity player that guys admired (still according to him) He apparently fell in love at first sight and courted her for a whole semester. She refused because apparently she was moving to a different university the next semester. My dad didn't want to give up, but had to. Next semester came and boom, my mom was still there. He didn't want her to escape and the rest was history. According to my mom, she didn't want to date him because she imagined that if they get married, she would have to take his surname. She liked her surname and didn't like his because her surname "sounded pretty". Apparently, the only reason she said yes was because he was handsome. 😂 This was the story they always told us growing up. Which, funnily enough, in my country you could 100% use the wife's surname for your family or even both of your surnames combined. (Yes, we are using my dad's surname) 😂 They have been married for almost 40 years. They are still very much in love, even if they annoy each other a lot. I'm incredibly blessed to have them as parents.
Omg I don't want to take another man's surname either Because I have a very unique first name and I feel like nothing goes with my first name except my actual surname (or other Chinese surnames but the likelihood of me marrying a Chinese man is slim) So I think I'm just gonna keep mine if it ever came down to it lol
@@cm-yu6gu I mean, most countries are pretty chill with that, so definitely keep it if that's what you prefer! I personally don't see any romance in my future, so I guess I'll just be the cool unmarried aunt no name charging fuss! 😂
My parents story is pretty similar. My dad was the cool guy/ jock in his school and my mom was the nerdy smart girl. In college they started hanging out and slowly they became friends. Now they’ve been married for many years
Lol if she was smart with a devious lawyer-like mind and no social skills, YET managed to bag the prom king type, it means she probably had done her background check on him, knew everything about his hopes and dreams before he even said hi. 😂 people should've been warming HIM! Happy it turned well 😊
My mum was one of those more goody goody’s and my dad was the loud, disruptive cool kid, they met in college/uni and are now the best parents I could ask for
My parents were both still in college and weren’t married yet when I was born. My mom was 22 and my dad was 20. I was a year old at their wedding. I’m almost 15 now and both my parents are only in their 30s and people I know think that’s crazy 😂
My mum had me at 23 (dad was 30) so my mother was just one year older than yours and I really liked our age gap. It was still pretty normal because I was born in the late 80s. Now most couples wait until they’re older so I get how everyone finds your parents young!
I, the art school band geek and straight A student, married the hot quarterback bad boy when we met at 27 and 28. We were both in recovery at the time and he wasn't doing great financially 😅 11 years later, we have 4 kids, love the Lord, and make a great living. I wouldn't advise my daughter marry the cool kid, but the Lord can change anyone.
Popular guys are actually really kind, like this one guy at my school he’s so sweet and we were like best friends in elementary. But separated during middle school but he’s still sweet to me.
This story is kinda like my parents. At their uni, my mum was nit that popular but liked by her friends. My dad was apparently popular and ‘attractive’ (idk, don’t think so) so they expected my dad to get one of the more model-like girls. But he chose my mum. Idk, maybe their relationship would have turned out different if he wasn’t abused growing up and suffering trauma that he well hid.
Like if you only have $40 in your bank account after all your bills and living expenses have been paid, you're not broke- you're waiting for your paychevk
I didn't marry the "cool guy", but I did marry a football star. He didnt go to my HS and was a few years older than me. I was also a quiet type and 19 when we married. Turned out to be the total loser who peaked in High School. So they don't all have happy endings.
My parents were so different in high school, but they ended up together and have been happily married ever since. Life has a funny way of bringing different people together.
My wife was a cheerleader, I was a trumpeteer in the marching band. Now she's a stay at home mom, and I run my own buisness buying and selling musical equipment/instruments and also giving private lessons.
It sounds so similar to my parents story. My mom was the nerdy straight A girl and my dad was the popular kid in the uni football team or whatever. my dad manipulated my mom, didn’t have a job for 15 years, and made her heart break. Glad that your parents turned out just fine!!
my mom and dad lived completely apart before they met like my mom was SUPER popular, classic rebel but the teachers couldn’t do anything because she didn’t hurt anyone and all and she had excellent grades, she was just mischievous and very popular and i’ve seen her pictures, stunning as well (she still is now) and my dad was equally as smart back in school nut he had a small friend circle and went to an all boys school for a few years of his life whereas my mom was always co-ed and yeah 😀✌🏻
This was probably back in the late 80's or early 90's. You got buy a house with the spare change in your pocket. People forget that times have changed. Everyone could make it back then. Now they are probably rich, having a paid off house and living on the salary of the mother which can most likely support three families. Try this today and see how far it gets you.
This story pretty much happened to my aunt (who was an art geek, had a crush in my uncle, a football jock in hs). My mom never liked my uncle (and tbh still doesnt) but they have 2 kids now and live each other
In some ways my parents. My dad was popular at church but my mother had a small group of really good friends. My mum thought my dad would be egotistical but God showed her in a vision them being happily married. So when he proposed not long after she knew her answer had to be yes. Now almost 25 years and 5 children.
My mom was part of the popular girls group who were known for their smarts. Literally because we live in a small area, some of my mom’s old classmates will recognize her when they went to high school. My dad on the other hand was not popular like my mom and very shy. But, my mom said a lot of girls had crushes on him and my dad wasn’t aware of. My grandparents (mom’s side) didn’t like my dad. Thought he would be a bad influence to my mom. My mom continued being with him and still are. However, things are different now. My parents have been fighting (silent fighting as they don’t yell but they don’t sleep together anymore and only talk when they need something). My mom unfortunately had 2 cancers (breast and stomach) and has to do another biopsy as her doctors believe she has another one now in her lungs. My dad, as my mom says, changed after having my brother and I. He’s not patient and gets more angry easily. He doesn’t do much anymore and just plays video games all day.
when i was younger, i thought the stereotypes were exaggerated to some extent. i was a cheerleader myself, but it didn't really...matter? i don't know how to put it into words. we were just a bit busier since we couldn't afford to get removed from the competing roster. one failing grade or a huge drop will get you a warning from the office. if you're unable to recover from that, you're going to get your membership revoked. that's why i didn't understand the dumb cheerleader stereotype back then. most of us were at the top of our classes. 😂 and we were really great friends with the dance team since we often exchange members in cases of emergency (injuries, failing grade, lack of member). we shared some coaches (gymnastics and contemporary). we were close with the school paper as well since they're often at our events. when i entered university, i passed the try-outs for our cheer team but i didn't continue it. i saw the stereotypes. the girls had the queen bee persona, while the boys had the fuck boy status. slacked off in classes as well. i was so so so surprised and disappointed.
This is honestly one of the sweetest love stories ive ever heard. First of all, its real. Second, its turns things around. Not only is it the cool and popular guy going out with the nerdy awkward girl instead of the reverse; but rather than be Disney channel about it and make it about popularity, everyone was giving the cool guy a hard time because they thought he would weigh her down; and he worked whole heartedly to prove to everyone that he was worthy of the akward girl
I was the nerdy, socially inept, straight A girl who married the popular boy… also had our first son at 20.. also happily married and in love 23 years later. I think it says something about the type of popular kid who goes for someone they love, not someone to impress others.
My mom was a math wiz but kind of had an air head look to her since she had adhd so she would get distracted, my dad was a band kid had lots of female friends who trusted him he was funny and from what I hear he was almost a trouble maker but not quite. They met swing dancing in college and have had a great relationship since ❤I’m lokey obsessed with them cuz they are super cute and a great role model for me
"got married at 19, had me at 20" Baby that's why they got married. Nobody PLANS to have a toddler at graduation if they're planning on going to grad school after
I married the cool boy from his high school, we were a ldr at first. I know he was so popular because all through the past three and a half decades, people still come up to us in stores or restaurants or post on social media about how he was back then. 😁 Even people several years ahead or behind knew him.
Most of the time. It ends badly. Your mom had a lovly charactor. Otherwise this would never happen. Fora happt marrage charactor is more important then looks or money
People are usually more multi dimensional than these high school labels suggest. On the surface, my own parents’ story could fit these stereotypes, but not really. Let me explain… keep in mind this was before I was born and I only know what my Mom told me. My Dad played football but was not exactly the popular kid. He wasn’t a nerd. Based on the Dad I know, my guess is the popular kids respected him but he didn’t hang out with them outside of school. I suspect he *could* have been popular but secretly didn’t really like the popular kids; he just liked playing football. I could be wrong. He had 2 best friends and they all played football. That’s the only thing they had in common. One friend was cerebral and a top student, the one who corrected the teacher, and ended up going to an Ivy League college. The other was rough around the edges rode motorcycles and barely stayed out of trouble. My Mom was quiet and a good student. She loves to read and also liked math and like academics due to a love for learning. Her best friend in elementary school did “drop her like a hot potato” in middle school and started sitting at “the popular table” in the cafeteria. But she wasn’t a target of bullying and was part of a 4 girl friend group. There was her and her best friend and 2 other girls who were best friends. Apparently my Mom had a crush on my Dad for a while, I don’t know how long. She used a fake name when talking about him with her friends. Meanwhile, my Dad also had a crush on my Mom but didn’t ask her out sooner because he actually heard her talking about this guy with the fake name who was actually him and my Dad assumed my Mom had a boyfriend at some other school. I’m not sure if they began dating right before or right after graduation. Anyway, so many questions, that I keep forgetting to ask and I didn’t know how to formulate when my Mom shared their story with my when I was a kid. Like, how much and how loudly was my Mom talking about my Dad using the fake name? What caused Dad to realize my Mom didn’t actually have a boyfriend at another school? Part of me thinks the story is cute and another part of me struggles to picture my Mom being so immature but she was in high school. I find myself actually frustrated that she couldn’t simply avoid talking about him at school and only talk about him outside of school. Maybe she had limited access to the phone. This was over 50 years ago. When I liked a guy in high school I tried to play it cool and was reluctant to even tell anyone. Her high school self is simply not someone I know.
My dad and mom both were popular Mom got proposed to and rejected them all cuz she wasnt interested And dad got proposed to and dated them all Dad is an introvert and mom is an extrovert The only person my mom said yes to was my dad And 21 years and 1 kid (meee) later, they are very much in love
We all end up the same. Just people tryna pay bills. It's not that big of a mystery. I knew Miley Cyrus briefly when we were young. Her name was Destiny then. So, unless they happen to grow up and become famous, they're probably in credit card debt, working overtime, baby on the way, etc. I was popular in highschool but it's only because I'm attractive and developed early. I noticed this was a common theme with my male and female peers. All the hot people usually just hangout together and do drugs or experiment with sex in a variety of ways. I don't advise it.
All the vile popular people from my school did peak at school. Most went on to do drugs, many got addicted and still are. Many had kids too young and some don’t have custody of them anymore. Most of them on benefits and living in council houses. Honestly, for the damaged they caused to many. Karma is a bitch
I was the nerdy girl. I went back home a year after going to college on scholarship and one of the popular girls was working at Walmart and was so heavy (a--ooo--gaa heavy) I almost didn't recognize her. I'm not being mean because she soon dropped dead of obesity related heart disease.
I'm in a relationship with some really popular guy at my middle school he's so cringy and funny I like him a lot and he dose to I have a lot of haters and no one at my school has really known about me till this of course everyone heard about it and asks me about it ppl have mixed opinions but he's the best
Your story made me distracted from the food you made. On my third watch, I just realized, too much work for nothing special which will melt in a blink.😅 It's just ice-cream wrapped with oreo cramps!😅
I was in lunch one time in 6th grade and out of nowhere someone screamed “jess (not real name) likes (someone who has a similar name to my nickname)” so me and my friend who were talking were like “what the fu-“ Thankfully it wasn’t me and it was another guy who dumped her after 2 weeks.
I’m addicted to these stories now 💀

My mum was one of those more goody goody’s and my dad was the loud, disruptive cool kid, they met in college/uni and are now the best parents I could ask for
My parents were both still in college and weren’t married yet when I was born. My mom was 22 and my dad was 20. I was a year old at their wedding. I’m almost 15 now and both my parents are only in their 30s and people I know think that’s crazy 😂
My mum had me at 23 (dad was 30) so my mother was just one year older than yours and I really liked our age gap. It was still pretty normal because I was born in the late 80s. Now most couples wait until they’re older so I get how everyone finds your parents young!
@@Cafeallday222 yes I met someone who was nearly 5 years younger than me who said her dad was in his 50s. That surprised me a bit 😅
It’s the same for me my mom is 35 and I’m turning 21 in march 😂😂
@@Blueberrypancake03 whoa! Your mom is even younger than mine! That’s crazy! Happy early birthday! ❤️
Wtf thats not something to brag about. Ya mom got pregnant when she was 13 like seriously wtf@@Blueberrypancake03
so you're telling me that I have a chance!!?
time to be delulu😚
I, the art school band geek and straight A student, married the hot quarterback bad boy when we met at 27 and 28. We were both in recovery at the time and he wasn't doing great financially 😅 11 years later, we have 4 kids, love the Lord, and make a great living. I wouldn't advise my daughter marry the cool kid, but the Lord can change anyone.
Popular guys are actually really kind, like this one guy at my school he’s so sweet and we were like best friends in elementary. But separated during middle school but he’s still sweet to me.
This story is kinda like my parents. At their uni, my mum was nit that popular but liked by her friends. My dad was apparently popular and ‘attractive’ (idk, don’t think so) so they expected my dad to get one of the more model-like girls. But he chose my mum. Idk, maybe their relationship would have turned out different if he wasn’t abused growing up and suffering trauma that he well hid.
>pretty broke
>could afford to put someone through law school, provide for a child and themselves and a house
😅
Like if you only have $40 in your bank account after all your bills and living expenses have been paid, you're not broke- you're waiting for your paychevk
I didn't marry the "cool guy", but I did marry a football star. He didnt go to my HS and was a few years older than me. I was also a quiet type and 19 when we married. Turned out to be the total loser who peaked in High School. So they don't all have happy endings.
My parents were so different in high school, but they ended up together and have been happily married ever since. Life has a funny way of bringing different people together.
My wife was a cheerleader, I was a trumpeteer in the marching band. Now she's a stay at home mom, and I run my own buisness buying and selling musical equipment/instruments and also giving private lessons.
It sounds so similar to my parents story. My mom was the nerdy straight A girl and my dad was the popular kid in the uni football team or whatever. my dad manipulated my mom, didn’t have a job for 15 years, and made her heart break. Glad that your parents turned out just fine!!
my mom and dad lived completely apart before they met like my mom was SUPER popular, classic rebel but the teachers couldn’t do anything because she didn’t hurt anyone and all and she had excellent grades, she was just mischievous and very popular and i’ve seen her pictures, stunning as well (she still is now) and my dad was equally as smart back in school nut he had a small friend circle and went to an all boys school for a few years of his life whereas my mom was always co-ed and yeah 😀✌🏻
My mom married the popular guy at 19 too! I mean he ended up being a abuser but yk
My mom was super nerdy but also had many boyfriends. My dad was antisocial and also nerdy
This was probably back in the late 80's or early 90's. You got buy a house with the spare change in your pocket. People forget that times have changed. Everyone could make it back then. Now they are probably rich, having a paid off house and living on the salary of the mother which can most likely support three families.
Try this today and see how far it gets you.
I dated the cool guy. Still going strong 11 years later 😅
It is vastly impressive they managed to surmount the naysayers however, I'm muddled by the double sided blade
He left her with 3 kids, and wound up overdosing.
I'm gonna use this for a cute romance story now, thanksss 💖😇😇
Goodluck on that story of yours!
This story pretty much happened to my aunt (who was an art geek, had a crush in my uncle, a football jock in hs). My mom never liked my uncle (and tbh still doesnt) but they have 2 kids now and live each other
The mom was obviously smart, she knew what she was doing
In some ways my parents. My dad was popular at church but my mother had a small group of really good friends.
My mum thought my dad would be egotistical but God showed her in a vision them being happily married. So when he proposed not long after she knew her answer had to be yes.
Now almost 25 years and 5 children.
The young actor they chose for her was perfect. I kept seeing her all throughout this video
My mom was part of the popular girls group who were known for their smarts. Literally because we live in a small area, some of my mom’s old classmates will recognize her when they went to high school.
My dad on the other hand was not popular like my mom and very shy. But, my mom said a lot of girls had crushes on him and my dad wasn’t aware of.
My grandparents (mom’s side) didn’t like my dad. Thought he would be a bad influence to my mom. My mom continued being with him and still are.
However, things are different now. My parents have been fighting (silent fighting as they don’t yell but they don’t sleep together anymore and only talk when they need something). My mom unfortunately had 2 cancers (breast and stomach) and has to do another biopsy as her doctors believe she has another one now in her lungs. My dad, as my mom says, changed after having my brother and I. He’s not patient and gets more angry easily. He doesn’t do much anymore and just plays video games all day.
Am I the only one who watches these for the background video? idk it's probably just my adhd not letting me focus on the story.😅
Now that’s a real love story if I’ve ever seen one
This makes me happy actually, coz i was a nerdy girl, good at studies and lacked at social skills when I was at school haha.
when i was younger, i thought the stereotypes were exaggerated to some extent. i was a cheerleader myself, but it didn't really...matter? i don't know how to put it into words. we were just a bit busier since we couldn't afford to get removed from the competing roster. one failing grade or a huge drop will get you a warning from the office. if you're unable to recover from that, you're going to get your membership revoked. that's why i didn't understand the dumb cheerleader stereotype back then. most of us were at the top of our classes. 😂
and we were really great friends with the dance team since we often exchange members in cases of emergency (injuries, failing grade, lack of member). we shared some coaches (gymnastics and contemporary). we were close with the school paper as well since they're often at our events.
when i entered university, i passed the try-outs for our cheer team but i didn't continue it. i saw the stereotypes. the girls had the queen bee persona, while the boys had the fuck boy status. slacked off in classes as well. i was so so so surprised and disappointed.
This is honestly one of the sweetest love stories ive ever heard.
First of all, its real.
Second, its turns things around. Not only is it the cool and popular guy going out with the nerdy awkward girl instead of the reverse; but rather than be Disney channel about it and make it about popularity, everyone was giving the cool guy a hard time because they thought he would weigh her down; and he worked whole heartedly to prove to everyone that he was worthy of the akward girl
Tbh I just watch these videos for the food in the bg
I think most people want the cool kids to have peaked in high school out of jealousy, but they usually don't.
Married at 19 is crazy 💀
My grandma had her first marriage at 16 😅😅
@@TheJosman …
when i heard 'my mom' for some reason i thought he married his mom💀
Am I the only one who was thinking “ahh finally an easy recipe that I can make” ?😂
The story was fine, but that damn oreo/ice cream popcake is FIRE.
I was the nerdy, socially inept, straight A girl who married the popular boy… also had our first son at 20.. also happily married and in love 23 years later. I think it says something about the type of popular kid who goes for someone they love, not someone to impress others.
Lmao this sounded a lot like my parents were until they said these parents were still in love🗿
I was the theater kid who married the rebel in leather jackets who smoked. But the artsy popular kids are safe from peaking in highschool
I’m addicted to these stories too
im early
My mom was a math wiz but kind of had an air head look to her since she had adhd so she would get distracted, my dad was a band kid had lots of female friends who trusted him he was funny and from what I hear he was almost a trouble maker but not quite. They met swing dancing in college and have had a great relationship since ❤I’m lokey obsessed with them cuz they are super cute and a great role model for me
"got married at 19, had me at 20"
Baby that's why they got married. Nobody PLANS to have a toddler at graduation if they're planning on going to grad school after
I married the cool boy from his high school, we were a ldr at first. I know he was so popular because all through the past three and a half decades, people still come up to us in stores or restaurants or post on social media about how he was back then. 😁 Even people several years ahead or behind knew him.
Finally one that doesn’t end bad 😂
Awwwe, he loved his little nerd!
My wife thought that I was the silent/cool type back in highschool,in reality I was just autistic
Most of the time. It ends badly. Your mom had a lovly charactor. Otherwise this would never happen.
Fora happt marrage charactor is more important then looks or money
Thanks for sharing this story ❤❤❤
Every nerdy, antisocial girl needs a cool, charismatic husband lol
Not a lot, but I've known 3 couples who were married for 26+ yrs. They all got married @ 19 yo
People are usually more multi dimensional than these high school labels suggest. On the surface, my own parents’ story could fit these stereotypes, but not really. Let me explain… keep in mind this was before I was born and I only know what my Mom told me.
My Dad played football but was not exactly the popular kid. He wasn’t a nerd. Based on the Dad I know, my guess is the popular kids respected him but he didn’t hang out with them outside of school. I suspect he *could* have been popular but secretly didn’t really like the popular kids; he just liked playing football. I could be wrong.
He had 2 best friends and they all played football. That’s the only thing they had in common. One friend was cerebral and a top student, the one who corrected the teacher, and ended up going to an Ivy League college. The other was rough around the edges rode motorcycles and barely stayed out of trouble.
My Mom was quiet and a good student. She loves to read and also liked math and like academics due to a love for learning. Her best friend in elementary school did “drop her like a hot potato” in middle school and started sitting at “the popular table” in the cafeteria. But she wasn’t a target of bullying and was part of a 4 girl friend group. There was her and her best friend and 2 other girls who were best friends.
Apparently my Mom had a crush on my Dad for a while, I don’t know how long. She used a fake name when talking about him with her friends. Meanwhile, my Dad also had a crush on my Mom but didn’t ask her out sooner because he actually heard her talking about this guy with the fake name who was actually him and my Dad assumed my Mom had a boyfriend at some other school. I’m not sure if they began dating right before or right after graduation.
Anyway, so many questions, that I keep forgetting to ask and I didn’t know how to formulate when my Mom shared their story with my when I was a kid. Like, how much and how loudly was my Mom talking about my Dad using the fake name? What caused Dad to realize my Mom didn’t actually have a boyfriend at another school? Part of me thinks the story is cute and another part of me struggles to picture my Mom being so immature but she was in high school. I find myself actually frustrated that she couldn’t simply avoid talking about him at school and only talk about him outside of school. Maybe she had limited access to the phone. This was over 50 years ago. When I liked a guy in high school I tried to play it cool and was reluctant to even tell anyone. Her high school self is simply not someone I know.
Ok now sandwich and squish that coated icecream ball between two oreo cookies and make it into icecream sandwich.
This is so Wattpad coded.😂❤
"YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE!!!"

Damn they dumb
Me the nerd:🤔
The popular kids :😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘🥰😍😍😘😍😍😘😘😍😍😍😍🥰😘😍😍🥰😘😍
If this is real, then we can safely assume reality is stranger than fiction
My dad and mom both were popular
Mom got proposed to and rejected them all cuz she wasnt interested
And dad got proposed to and dated them all
Dad is an introvert and mom is an extrovert
The only person my mom said yes to was my dad
And 21 years and 1 kid (meee) later, they are very much in love
We all end up the same. Just people tryna pay bills. It's not that big of a mystery. I knew Miley Cyrus briefly when we were young. Her name was Destiny then. So, unless they happen to grow up and become famous, they're probably in credit card debt, working overtime, baby on the way, etc. I was popular in highschool but it's only because I'm attractive and developed early. I noticed this was a common theme with my male and female peers. All the hot people usually just hangout together and do drugs or experiment with sex in a variety of ways. I don't advise it.
BROO SHADOW DONT LEAVE US ON A CLIFFHANGER WHAT HAPPENED TO WILLIAM!!!
All the vile popular people from my school did peak at school. Most went on to do drugs, many got addicted and still are. Many had kids too young and some don’t have custody of them anymore. Most of them on benefits and living in council houses.
Honestly, for the damaged they caused to many. Karma is a bitch
that ice cream looks fantastic
don’t feed my delusiona
I was the nerdy girl. I went back home a year after going to college on scholarship and one of the popular girls was working at Walmart and was so heavy (a--ooo--gaa heavy) I almost didn't recognize her. I'm not being mean because she soon dropped dead of obesity related heart disease.
turns out in truth they had a feeling they make it far and was trying to get her to brake up so they could step in and steal the prize
This was my parents life had it gone better........
"my mom was the nerdy girl who got straight A's"yo spyin on my momma
So she didn’t lack social skills.
Because she was able to see something others couldn’t see in your dad, and she was right
I'm in a relationship with some really popular guy at my middle school he's so cringy and funny I like him a lot and he dose to I have a lot of haters and no one at my school has really known about me till this of course everyone heard about it and asks me about it ppl have mixed opinions but he's the best
My parents were both the cool kid and I’m so glad
thats awesome, wonder how that felt like
Ohhhhh myyyyyy goooooddddd
Married at 19
Me 26 a vergin havent dated yet what am i doing😭😭
Marrying at 19 and having kids at 20 is actually crazyyy
My mom was the AP student that did ballet and my dad was the alt kid that skipped school. They've been married 30 years this year 🥰
Reminds me of 18 again kdrama
Your story made me distracted from the food you made. On my third watch, I just realized, too much work for nothing special which will melt in a blink.😅
It's just ice-cream wrapped with oreo cramps!😅
Which he found hilarious 😂
So what's the usual trope for intimidating girls? What kind of guys do they usually get together with?
Wait... what happened to the oreo cream?
So far I think I have peaked in Highschool and that was a valley
You do t have to marry a rich man. You just have to marry a man who will help you get rich! 😂
I was in lunch one time in 6th grade and out of nowhere someone screamed “jess (not real name) likes (someone who has a similar name to my nickname)” so me and my friend who were talking were like “what the fu-“ Thankfully it wasn’t me and it was another guy who dumped her after 2 weeks.
Love isn't about being with them for who they are now, but rather seeing who they can become later in life
„Boys, how is life?“
„Not a boy, …“
