Sorry. I mean this in the context that whatever genes are passed along are influenced by our state of consciousness at the time of conception. Which would be a thread in itself. The -debatable- thought behind this is that humans have been genetically bred toward belligerence. We all have these genes. The question is... to what degree are they activated in our bodies at the time of conception?
But restated, for the purposes of this thread, all I meant was: Ladies, please stop reproducing with little boys and allow them to become men before they become fathers.
... and vice-versa.

When I was in high school, I played that game that way. But the guys were also playing their own game: ask her out, see how much they can get away with, and then, don't know her the next day. When I started 'falling in love' the game totally changed.
Yeah, that definitely happens! For me, I felt embarrassed when girls were attracted toward me, and so was generally too shy to act on it. So basically, girls would end up thinking I wasn't interested because I never "tried" anything with them. Now I understand that is really about me, and not them, but back then I didn't.
Also, that kind of attention still makes me uncomfortable. I'm still not sure exactly why. I think that having a physical body makes me somewhat uncomfortable, and so I am uncomfortable when others express attraction toward it.
