Is being liked by the opposite sex as an adult more important than being liked by the opposite sex when you’re in middle/high school?

Boys didn’t like me when I was in high school and junior high. But other people are liked by the opposite sex both in middle/high school AND as an adult, but I will be liked only as an adult. But other people besides me seem to believe that “being liked by the opposite sex” as an adult is more important than “being liked by the opposite sex” when you’re in middle/high school. But why?

And is it unusual to care if you’re “liked by the opposite sex” during both of those stages like I do?
