When Did You Hit Your Peak?

When Did You Hit Your Peak?

A question on a game show the other night was, “At what age were you at your sexiest?”

Mrs. C said 25 which turned out to be the number one answer.  My answer? “Thirteen.”

“Thirteen?”

That’s right, 13.  I was one hot teen dude.  I had a steady girlfriend, I was getting phone calls from younger girls, and some other girls who would just call, giggle and hang up.

Damn I was hot stuff at thirteen!

Then we moved across the river from New York to New Jersey.  I became the new kid at school, I didn’t know the Jersey ropes or the Jersey culture and it was different from New York.  Oh yeah, I had pimples at 14 that I did not have at 13.

I had zero-point-zero girlfriends until college.  No younger girls calling, no giggling hang ups, I went from hot to not in one year. 

Sometime in college, the pimples cleared up, but I went to an all-male school.  I was border line hot, not my 13 year-old hot mind you, but I had it going on, but going on for who…nothing but dudes. 

For about three years between pimples and losing my hair I was stuck in an all-male environment…then I got married. 

It was all downhill from there.  What with kids, balding, and putting on more than a few pounds, I could only dream about those good old days when at thirteen I had it all going on.

Sometime after two wives left me for greener and better-looking pastures, I met Mrs. C. 

At sixty-five, missing hair was no big deal.  I had lost a few pounds and toned up a bit, and for an old man I was looking OK.  Maybe not my thirteen-year-old hot, but OK enough to hook Mrs. C.  

I may have peaked out in looks at 13, but I hit the jackpot with Mrs. C at 65.
