When I was in high school, I was a late bloomer. And just like all those supermodels who said they were gawky and no one liked them, that was me - metaphorically. And so I was ready to rise like a phoenix in later times.

If you have no shame, and it’s your goal to get people into bed, how much higher could your success rate possibly be?
