missed opportunity in school years

During my school years, I missed an opportunity I did not know I had.
I thought female classmates want to be with someone who can tell funny jokes. Who constantly smiles. Who is interested in popular television shows such as Germany's Next TopModel and FIFA/UEFA, which I was never interested in.
I thought I have to be up-to-date on celebrity gossip and be good at chit-chatting, neither of which I was.

Now, I know the truth: The most important feature a male can have for females is being athletic. Females have a deep-rooted evolutionary desire to be physically protected. And I was the most athletic person in the school class.

It is very likely I could have gotten a girlfriend. I did not know that I met the priority requirements.

Now, in adulthood, the requirements have risen significantly. One needs to have a driving license, a car, and a standalone residents  (not the parents' home), in addition to being athletic and muscular.
