Dear Blake,
I am about to start my last year of high school, and I’ll probably graduate as the valedictorian. Even though I am a very smart guy, no girl has ever shown any interest in me. I acknowledge that I am a very unattractive bookworm. Your thoughts?

Dear Wallace,
You are in the “awkward years” and that is really common among males. Your problem is compiled by you also being a homely looking geek. Teenage girls are usually very shallow, so in their eyes, your academic excellence takes a back seat to you being just plain old ugly. Unfortunately, when you go to college, you’ll be subjected to the same treatment by women that have even larger vocabularies. However on the bright side, there are tons of women out there that can relate to your severe lack of beauty. You can eventually meet one, fall in love, and have a story book ending. But I strongly suggest that you do not have any kids! Because the scary genetic combination of you two would only create another frustrating vicious cycle. I hope this helps.
Blake
