I wish that I was the person I am now back then. There are a lot of things I would have done differently, not the least of which is told myself, "There's no shame in going to see escorts."
It might have served me well, going to see a lady who was good with virgins and inexperienced guys who would have fit my budget at the time. I was a bit focused on getting a girlfriend when I graduated and looking back on it, I should have been focused on other things. And if I'm being honest, I was just looking to get laid.
More than anything, I wish I had just put myself out there and put a bit more effort into my appearance as well. I lost a bunch of weight after graduating and I should have realized that was the bare minimum. Not saying I would have gone out and "slayed mad pussy' every weekend but I think I could have at the very least found a regular fuck buddy. Hell, one time I was out to a show during Canadian Music Week years back and ended up spending the night hanging out with a woman who approached me. Looking back on it, I missed out on some blatantly obvious signals and I think to myself, "Dude! You could have gotten laid that night!" Or, I might be ending this story with, "And that's how I met my ex-wife."
