A Quarter Century (Part 2)

There was kind of a lull in my college years. I was focused on my studies and women didn't register on my radar, and I was also seeing someone, the infamous ex. Those four years were not necessarily lonely ones (she lived overseas), just strangely woman free, for the most part. A lot of the girls I came across were only after one thing, sex and some cash. Sure I got looks ,even subtle offers. I had soccer, my events, frat, and plenty of interesting classes which were filled with fine women, but not a whole lot happen.

I love being around them, but nothing happened beyond a friendship thing. My looks were maturing, the teen-age boy look was fading and the guy in his early twenties was replacing it. Non-black women were in that picture and along with the Sistas they had a hard time trying to place me my ethnical background....Where you from?.....The Caribbean?.....Is there some Chinese in your family? (I have these crazy looking eyes).... You American?....Either I was a 'foreigner' or I was some kind of bi-racial. I wasn’t black enough so I couldn’t be African American. They couldn't place me and that tickled me to Death. Women didn't start to play a major part of my life until after that night. That very painful night!

My virginity was lost more than a decade ago to this gorgeous nineteen -year old Sista with mocha colored skin and pretty brown eyes. Once that went down, my sex drive went into overdrive.(laugh).No i wasn't promiscuous, but it was activated. It was sorta cast aside given that I was in a relationship yet now I consider myself one of the best looking guys in the country and you out there know how i like to joke about that. But I have to tell you that looks didn't always get me a bed partner. If I met ten women in a day, six out of ten would not give me the time of day. Women are much smarter than me when it comes to physical appearances.
Men are visual and that's cool....But women tend to look beyond the surface. They look deeper and you could be the best looking guy they ever saw, yet they will look beyond that for something that they really like. George Clooney and Denzel Washington are two of the hottest stars out there today. Women flock to them like bees to honey. But there are millions of women that don't find them attractive at all. Maybe the UPS guy in his summer shorts does it for them...Maybe the local firefighter gets them going...Or the quiet geek with the shy smile gets those panties creaming! So looks help, but they aren't the main course. My experience with women would get more interesting as I got closer to 25. But I’ll save the last one for part 3.
