How many of you went to prom?

[eli77]

I didn't go but had a couple of chicks lined up grad night was a great night was a huge thing I wish I would have gone as well. Money was a major issue their was a party 24/7 back in the late '90s.

 

[Hamurabimbi]

Nope.

 

[CornbreadFed]

No, I got teased by my first oneitis and decided not to go.

 

[Mike32ct]

Went to senior prom back in the day.

My friends told me about the after parties two weeks later.

 

[Robert28]

I went to prom 3 times. Was prom king my senior year.

Alpha male status. How does a guy go from prom king and college football player to such disrespect from women?

In fairness, Div II or Div III college football player only is meaningful while on campus. Post-college, a lot of Div I athletes can parlay that status with women but it's not meaningful Div II or Div III.

I have no clue but talking with other guys, I’m not the only one. The disrespect didn’t really start until my 30’s. I don’t even bring up my playing football.

I did, with HS sweetheart. In hindsight (like many things of my past) was a big waste of time & $$. The memory is there but in the big picture of things it was just a mundane formality compared to the rest of my life.

No I didn't. The one girl I had asked at the time told me no and I basically said **** it I wasn't going to go. I have always been a kind of all or nothing type of guy - if I couldn't get the specific girl I wanted, no other would suffice. I had very little motivation to go otherwise - I kind of hated highschool and had a tough time with girls in those days. If it were possible to have a conversation with my teenage self and be like hey i'm from the future, your situation with girls is going to drastically improve - my younger self probably wouldn't of believed it and say to eat one, lolol

I never went to a single dance in high school. We had 2 dances each year in addition to prom for juniors & seniors. So 10 dances in total from freshman to senior year.

I had started dating a girl in sophomore year but she broke up with me and went to the dance with some other guy. There was never a moment where I really desired to go anyway and there wasn't any girl I even wanted to ask.

 

[Bible_Belt]

In a small town, the restaurants double their prices on prom night just to stick it to the kids who have to take their date to dinner.

 

[Dust 2 Dust]

Going to prom wasn't really popular at my school. Most of the kids thought it was lame. I never went nor did anyone in my circle.

"Just wait til your 30s bro"

 

[taiyuu_otoko]

Went, had a blast.

Had an after party with me and my friends and our dates in a couple hotel rooms after.

The reality of one's 30s often doesn't live up to the hype.

@Robert28 had a good peak pre age 22 with college football and prom king. Many men would want that.

Late 90s there was a dance for everything from junior high to high school but I wish I would have went to great night my biggest regret in high school not playing a sport

 

[Redwood]

I played sports all throughout high school. If I can go back, I wouldn’t have played any sports at all and would have just started working anywhere so I would have had a better work ethic in The Military.

Got asked my sophomore year to the junior senior prom and said no... wanted to golf/ hang with my friends.... my junior year had a steady sophomore girlfriend.. went Junior/senior Christmas and regular prom 6 times... because I came back my freshman year in college for hers. Every prom we bailed early....her older sister was awesome and would let us stay at her house after... so we would get buzzed and bang until sunrise.
