When I was in high school, I generally liked only girls that were at least my age. The girls my age, however, liked the guys that were older than I was, someone who could grow decent facial hair or buy a pack of cigarettes. When my high school friends dated guys in college, I never thought they were cool for doing so. Rather, I thought the guys were pathetic for dating a high schooler.

I have been in college for three years now, and everything remains exactly the same.
