As a teen, I never gone beyond being friends with popular girls. I had the mind-set that they were very manipulative and were nothing but trouble. I did have one who tried to flirt with me but she set off so many red flags that I kept my distance from her. Found out later she was real loose and slept around. Even now I don't regret it. Now, as an adult, I'm a bit more open-minded, but still find "hot" women a turn-off. Probably because of my old mind-set.
