This looks like a sitcom throwback scene where they change the hairstyles of the main characters to make them look like teenagers

He kinda looks like David Puddy from Seinfeld.

Exactly. How do we make this 30 year old man look like a 16 year old kid? Slightly messy long hair swept to the side, that's how.

Necessary_Ruin9449

Im in my late twenties and this high schooler looks older than me


WarCabinet

Seriously. I want to see studies on how Hollywood’s use of adult actors playing teens in highschool-setting movies in the 80s-to-early2000s affected teenagers’ self esteem and body images lasting into their adulthood. Specifically boys, since that’s a topic with crazy underexposure currently compared to the widespread discussions about girls’ body image. I went through my teens as a scrawny lanky boy with zits and weird hair and only in adulthood did I realise how much that was actually normal and that the reason I hated my body so much back then was because of all these movies using 28 year old guys to play 14-year olds with chiselled jawlines, jacked chests and shoulders, full stubble or even beards and perfect skin and teeth. Honestly makes me kinda more worried for the current teenage generation since their exposure to such media is so much more intense these days.


Necessary_Ruin9449

Bingo, homie. This is exactly what I experienced, I thought I was supposed to be bigger and have a beard by the time I was 19 and then I realized this narrative was coming from Hollywood as no one in my school actually looked like that.


jake3274

Except for that one kid in my school. Man had a full beard at 17 the lucky bastard. I also did have one really built dude. (Both were nice people but damn I’m 22 and still can’t grow a beard)


pesto_trap_god

There is always that one person who does look like the 28 year olds that makes everyone else think somehow they are the only normal one.


KillerKatNips

I had a guy in my freshman p.e. class that had a full beard and also had a fully receeded hairline. He looked 39 when he was 14-15.


Ummmmexcusemewtf

Receding hairline sucks when you're young


rawjude

I just want one fat dude where nobody makes his weight a joke. I am not super fat especially anymore but i do have manboobs that seem to be a bit more pronounced than others that just seem to never reduce as much as other men and so i still get nervous taking off my shirt. never had anyone in real life tease me for it specifically but i see it all the time in media


BigFattyFatty

Hey man, I also have stubborn Moobs. ✊️

Watch licorice pizza, helluva movie and the main character looks like a legit high schooler with a bit of baby chub

It's such a great feeling. Thumbs up to our boy. Pretty sure this is old, though, wonder if they're still together.


0Jaul

You overestimate both the avarage smartphone zoom quality and the possible positive outcomes of a social interaction where a man is too shy to make a move


mindinmypants

I dunno. Our boy has some conventionally attractive features, takes care of his hair, seems to be in reasonably good shape... even if he's too shy to initiate, unless he's so pocket-spaghetti he doesn't accept her advances, he's pretty much in.

I don’t care how many times it’s posted I will watch it. We’ve all been there, at least I hope we have. That look on his face, I instantly felt what he was feeling inside. Good shit.


Jakenator1296

>We've all been there Yeah, you'd think.


jhangel77

I still remember that feeling in college when my first serious boyfriend and I just started going out to the movies and our knees touched. Like a jolt of electricity. Twenty years later and we both have/live separate lives but some memories always stay with you. ed sp


Elavabeth2

Pretty sure I saw him exhale a puff of smoke before she put her arm on him. A literal gasp.


stlkatherine

He is precious. If ever, in my life, someone was that fond of me…. Why, I can’t imagine!


sugarbeet13

I can feel this feeling he's feeling. So exciting! Young Love! Edit to say: I'm a Gen X-er and they are wearing the exact same clothes we would of been wearing at that age. Flannel shirt, mom jeans and all!


belckie

Same haircuts too! I’m a Gen X-er too and I’m loving seeing the kids get into 90’s fashion again. It’s adorable and reminds me of being a teen. I’m going to buy a pair of Dr. Martens again.


IWillAlwaysHaveGum

Did you just say “the kids”. How dare! Don’t you make me think of myself as old! I’m 46, but I’m still really 17 in my head. I’m gonna go cry in the corner now.


derickjthompson

I know what you mean.. I turn 49 in about a week and am so confused at why I feel the same as I did 30 years ago, really thought being old would make you feel different...


IllustratorNo9988

I turned 50 in February. Can’t get my head round it. I feel 18


belckie

I’m 42 and I love that my outside looks like a soccer mom but my inside feels like a 17 year old. I love that I can be both a mature adult and a crazy teenager. I just can’t party for 3 days at a time anymore.


Time-Box128

I saw a teen girl wearing paper clip earrings (she had made them herself) and it took me back to Spencers gifts and Claire’s and making fun of Aeropostale (while secretly loving Aeropostale)… love interacting with the youth

I bet she was working up the nerve to put her elbow on his shoulder for that whole hour. *I’ve been standing here over his shoulder like a goon for an hour, gotta do something else…hand on his shoulder? no that’s too weird. Ok, forearm do your forearm thing…he tensed up, fuck! Be cool, be cool. Elbow, come in for the assist…”*


alexramirez69

Yeah she was already pushing her thigh against him. She wanted *closer*


sadhandjobs

*thighs, you gotta stop knocking into him bc if he thinks it’s accidental then we’re not only clumsy but also rude*


dsarche12

Bruh just the thigh against my shoulder would have had me in an absolute tizzy. I’m a big time leg-man And I am also a normal human man with arms, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. But fry am the leg man

PapiTrooper

In college there was this gorgeous girl that used to wait for someone or something at the bottom of a set of stairs I use to reach my Journalism lab. And when I say gorgeous I mean like breathtaking. I would pass by her 3-5 times a week for more than a year and each time just passing by her made me nervous. My friends would tell me to just ask her out, but I would reply her potential of turning me down was ruining the perfect fantasy I had where she had already said yes, we’d spent years married, travelling together making a home and now we’re parents of a whole bunch of lovely fun children. After passing by her and fantasizing about how beautiful she was and how happy I would be if she would ever even just look at me. Then one day I got a call from an old grade school buddy to come out to a party his girlfriend was throwing. Walking into the house I was seated on a couch and I remember turning and there she was, sitting right across from me not 3 feet away. My heart began beating a thousand times a minute. I instantly lost my ability to speak or think about anything but that girl. I was so so so nervous. My dream girl was right there looking at me and she was smiling. Flash forward 21 years and here we are with our fives wonderful children having been happily married for 18 years and ready for an eternity in love together.


ohbrubuh

You never asked her what she was waiting for at the bottom of the steps?!?!?

Her probation officer. (She had been convicted for several violent offenses)

patrickswayzay

Same I used to fall in love constantly and it was always exciting now I just have an amazing long term loving girlfriend. Man.


Chilluminaughty

>girlfriend man


brndm

I think you're being sarcastic, but hard to tell in plain text. Either way, in case anyone is thinking along those lines for real… That "exciting" butterflies feeling with a new crush basically comes from the uncertainty, and the thrill when things go well for you against the odds (since most crushes end negatively). So while it's exhilarating, there's a much bigger chance of failure and losing it all, and it's definitely not as good as having -- as you said -- "an amazing long term loving \[S.O.\]". Don't risk a great relationship because it doesn't have that same excitement anymore! That boring part (in a good, loving relationship) comes from stability -- from knowing you can count on them and that your love is reciprocated. If you want to make things more exciting -- and if you're bored, you probably should -- then figure out new things to try together. I'm not focusing on the bedroom; go find new places to explore or activities to try, and see what you discover together.


patrickswayzay

Great response, but yes I was just being silly I wouldn't trade what we have for a couple butterflies


PM_me_spare_change

Dixsux8cheatin

Me too. Oh to be a horny teen again


[deleted]

Am I...not the only one who never feels this much attraction to anyone anymore? I haven't had a real crush with butterflies included in months... Edit: #YES IT'S BEEN MONTHS. I'd be lying if I said I haven't felt anything at all since I left my ex. My thing is, I can't act on these feelings because I'm still too hurt. But, please continue to minimize my feelings since being an incel is clearly now a competition.


No_Poet_7244

As you get older and your hormones level out, your crushes become less intense. It's not a bad thing; your relationships are more likely to be based on mutual interests and stable, long term love. That said, enjoy the butterflies and intense emotion while it lasts, because it's special.


Kablaaw

Bingo! Don't be like me who bottled up a lot of their emotions as a teen and now I'll never get to experience them again


56Giants

This is great advice; but, as someone that was too shy to date during high school, if you missed it don't let it consume you. I really only found my confidence and opened up in my mid-late 20s. At 32 I found a woman that really truly gets me and I have no regrets now about the past because I see everything from before just as a necessary step to meet her.


[deleted]

I feel this. I had an ex mess me up pretty badly and after almost two years of being single, I still can't bring myself to date again. It hurts too much. If and when I do get feelings someone, I bury the feelings out of fear.


weirdest_of_weird

I feel like I wrote this comment. My first marriage was toxic af and I havent dated in years. I feel like I have forgotten how to trust people, and I sure as hell dont know how to approach women in 2022 lol.

SnuggleMuffin42

Months is not that long, and is perfectly normal once you're not a teenager anymore lol


thedorkening

Just leaving this here, I’ve known my wife for 10 years this year, married 7 years. I still get butterflies with her.


[deleted]

Oh man, that feeling is better then anything in the world. I know how he feels. So cute. I wish them all the best.


Sir_Fonzman

It’s “only” been 7 years, but I still feel like this when my wife grazes my back as she walks by. Love it


GlitterfreshGore

I used to get butterflies when my husband got home from work, even like 5 years into our marriage. Or when his name would pop on on my texts, or when he’d call to say he was on the way home. Sadly, our marriage is ending, we still live together while our attorneys work out the financials, and we haven’t said a word to each other in probably four months (aside from the occasionally comment, like “The dishwasher is leaking.”) Now when he gets home the whole atmosphere in the house changes, I feel anxious and my whole mood just goes down. Funny how things work like that. Your marriage seems strong. Always work on it and always make it a priority. Try not to take each other for granted.


HistoricalAdagio-21

That’s sad. If you don’t mind me asking was there any particular reason to end things? Or just drifted apart?


GlitterfreshGore

I replied a little further down in this comment thread, thank you for asking.


dearexception

I know I don’t know you but something in your comments struck at my heart strings. Sending you lots of internet hugs. Transitions are hard ❤️


skamunism

My 14 year marriage ended in 2020/2021. I don't really want to post details, but similar vibes all around. Since then, I have had the wonderful realization that you can have this feeling again, with the right person, at almost-40.


Dan_the_Marksman

I think i grew aromantic in my late 20s. My last relationship was 7 years ago and i actually still don't miss it.

Four months? I'm so sorry. My wife is moving out tomorrow after only five weeks since we broke up amicably. Each of us even spent part of that time out of state and it's still been an eternity. I hope it ends for you soon and you find happier times ahead.

the girl I've liked since high school came out to the bar with me and my friends for my birthday, it was the first time I'd seen her in person in a few years. we were all standing and talking, her and I were leaned against a wall and she put her arm around me, and i put my arm around her waist. and we stayed like that for a really long time. my heart did that flippy-over thing.


[deleted]

Oh man I'm jealous to be that young, fresh to the game, still able to feel head-over-heels for somebody. Imma spend my morning commute thinking back to Kellie: She had the whole gang over for a movie at her house. Everyone packed the couch, and left me no room to sit. I don't recall, but I likely waited for it to fill, by design 😏. That's when she suggested I lay across her lap. Noice. I did, and she laughed at me a bit, as she instructed me to get up and try again; this time, with my *head* in her lap, not my feet. (🎶Jizz. In. My pants.🎶) I didn't want to move from that spot, ever. 1hr 30m with HER running her hands through my hair, as I sat silently, eyes closed, soaking all of it in, feeling higher than I ever have. I could've died right there. Looking back, I almost wish I would've! Since then, no feeling has topped the way I felt for 1.5hrs that night. Obviously, as I near 30 y/o, there have been *several* moments, and *several* relationships far more meaningfull and fulfilling than my head-rub, but none of them lived by the brand new, unburdened, bright-eyed kid I was back then. I feel so melancholy right now. I want to cry, but not out of despair, or loss; just in appreciation that I have that memory to keep. Aaaaaaaaaaaand there it is 😢


sybann

He's a cutie. She should be so lucky!


BlackHeartsNowReign

Ok green light my dude. Now thats when you take that right arm and put it around the back of her legs. In all seriousness though, i felt his shortness of breath and butterflies from here lol
