Regrets from teen years

You know its interesting when I look at my 17 yr old son. Hes a pretty good looking kid and really popular with the girls. I feel happy for him but you know it kind of reminds me of my life and how I've never been exactly the guy who turns heads. And yea women pretty much don't notice me.


I've only had one girlfriend my whole life and I ended up marrying her. My son has had around 5 and has probably had sex with more women at 17 than I've had in my whole life. Even today I'm not exactly good looking and my wife is average looking.


SO I'm just wondering when you guys see your kids success with the opposite sex (if they are successful) does it ever remind of your past when you weren't ( if you weren't that is) Do you ever regret that you don't really have as much success as they do?


Its doesn't necessarily have to be with the opposite sex but for ex. if they are better at sports than you were or at dance or something, does that ever bring any regrets?

No regrets here, either.
