Guys, what were You like, when you were Eighteen?

Question

WindAtMyBack · Accepted Answer

That's a good song. I was actually 15 when it came out, but close enough.

At 18 I was a huge party animal. I was naive about a lot of things and discovering a lot of things out in the world. I was really into the outdoors (a forestry major in college). I had already traveled / hitch-hiked several thousand miles on my own before I turned 18. I was doing a lot of drugs, like most other people at college. By the end of my 18th year the drugs were starting to get out of control and taking over.

My late teens and early 20s were both the best and worst times of my life. Overall it would have been better if I could have skipped right past it.

Me at 18 I was a quiet as kept kid. I was still jovial but very much an introverted type. I had friends but I'd much rather be into listening to music playing basketball and just chilling by myself really. Crazy thing is not much has changed, lol. But I've always been optimistic had a sense of humor and it's still very much outgoing I just didn't really jump in was like a great social butterfly amongst people. And I was always strong and always helpful

That was 1972. I had reached my full height of 6'2" and had a skinny, lean, swimmer's bod. My hair was past my shoulders. I had kind of a hippie, surfer, rock star persona.

I turned 18 in my senior year of high schooI and started attending community college part time right after graduation.

The rest of the time I was surfing, skateboarding, playing Frizbee and sports, playing lead guitar and singing in rock bands, going to a major rock concert about once a week, smoking lots of weed, occasionally sampling psychedelics, and partying like a Viking.

I had a car and went on LOTS of adventures to amazing places all around California and beyond with my friends. We went to drive-in movies, snow skiing, hiking, backpacking, target shooting in the desert.

I was living life to the absolute max and thought I was indestructible.

I had a girlfriend who was younger than me but had her own apartment even though I still lived with my parents.

I always had a job. I think I was stocking shelves at Fedco when I was 18.

Texaskid1 · Answer

Skinny and gawky with big clumsy glasses. Also , horny as hell - I could rub one out four times a day and had ammo to spare.

Thinking about it life is a real bitch - when I was young I wanted to bang on all the hot girls on campus - but I had no money and no car and I was not very social - thus no pussy for me. Now that I am middle aged I have a job , money saved up and some experience under my belt but the libido is not the same although since I do keep in shape I have had some younger hotties take notice.

Life is funny that way.

Slartybartfast · Answer

I was on my own after i, got in a fight with my stepdad (because I was being manipulated by my girlfriend and didn't have the money I needed for books) and left home at 17. I started working as a roofer while going to school for computer science. I caught my girlfriend cheating on me , while trying to get my head together from her gaslighting me I was driving around one night, I had a bad car accident and wound up in a coma for a few weeks. I spent the next few years working massive overtime to pay of the medical debt.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Kind of a bad ass. I knew every cute girl in town and had one of the hottest girlfriends in school, had a hot sportscar for an 18 year old. Partied sometimes. Lived on my own before 18. I was pretty stupid made lots of dumb decisions. I didn't feel confident or worthwhile at all though but looking back i think people viewed me as confident. I did simp a little but not naturally, just trying things out other people suggested with girls. didn't let it stick because i saw it didn't work. I don't know.

Same views I have now, but less jaded when it comes to girls and dating. My communication skills and confidence were also much worse back then.

AviatorTom · Answer

At 18, I was a shy, naive nerd. I'm still a nerd but I like to think I'm no longer naive, and not as shy as I once was.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I was very shy and quiet. I kept to myself and didn't go out much. I just went to work and minded my own business. ... Hey- that's pretty much the same way I am now! LOL
