No particular thoughts about the opposite sex aged 13. The first school parties were being organised and I became aware that I couldn’t dance whereas others, most of them girls , had obviously practised dancing in front of the mirror since they behaved as if they’d been on the dance floor for years. They knew how to dress up and what makeup to wear. Those blokes who had stylish outfits from the West had the best chances and I wasn’t one of them.
I didn’t blame the girls but I realised what an effort was required to get the girls, and how little a boy got back in return - at that age. That changed toward the end of my teenage years.

67, I was living in a boys only household (father & four brothers) going to a boys only school.

I had a lot to learn.
