As a teen, 3 girls pulled up in a car and called me "FUGLY."
I've never quite healed from that.
I'm married. I have a wife I adore and who adores me back and tells me I'm handsome and sexy and something 3 teenage girls told me in a car sticks with me.
My dateless wonder years, the rejection from the opposite sex and the teasing and just the moments when you KNOW other people are talking about your appearance, or the overheard conversations.
They're still in the back of my mind.
I can push them away most days, but sometimes no.
And the occassional, "you're hawt" comment from the ladies on my flist has been an awesome validation over the past year and a half.

So yeah.
Been there, done that.
