For the first 18 or 19 years of my life I was a very scrawny and socially awkward boy. Ladies rarely paid me any mind, so when a female showed any interest I basically would cling to that not caring anything about the person she truly was. This happened to me during my first semester of college. She was gorgeous, and I loved her to death, but as the relationship went on she Needy, overly sensitive, and kind of a bitch. I was oblivious to this at the time due to my sight being clouded by first love and all the sex we had. We are no longer dating nor talking due to a nasty break up. For a while I was very depressed and couldn't get over her, but I started training in MMA to cope. Fast forward 2 years, I have gotten into great shape and I am an amateur fighter coming off of a win on my 21st birthday (had my first beer afterwards and it tasted like watered down piss) and another fight coming up this summer. Well to tie things together, I'm at a party with one of my close female friends (lets call her Amy) who is still friends with my ex via facebook. Don't ask me why, but she is. While I was conversing with Amy she asked me about my ex. I said I cut contact with her and hadn’t talked to her. According to Amy, since the break up my ex has done nothing but party and go to raves, and is currently dating a man who is very scrawny and not very attractive compared to me. In Amy's words my ex "downgraded since dating me". Yes, I know I shouldn't have complete faith in what someone says from what they see on facebook, but in all honesty it felt nice believing that I was my ex’s peak while I have yet to hit mine.
