I get the context, just saying that many of the "cover girl" type weren't worth the time, then or now. When I was in high school, there was basically three kinds of girls:
1) The pretty/popular/cheerleader girls
2) The athletic team girls
3) All the rest
Until my senior year, the first two didn't know I existed and the third only knew me because I could help them with their classwork. My senior year, all three groups knew me, many hanging around me for one reason; I had a camera and was taking pictures for the yearbook as I was the lead photographer. Fast forward 20 years, went to my high school class reunion. The same ones that hung around me (and my camera) didn't even acknowledge that I was there. Needless to say, after the first night get together, I didn't go to the second day's events since I had spent most of my first night alone. Told me all I needed to know, I was an outsider and not worth their time. Fortunately, I had my girlfriend at home so leaving early wasn't a big deal for me.
