Not what you think, but just as important. Sex tips for girls* (*or maybe just folks who are holding on to mid-life by a thread). A dating odyssey for Young Olds (people with readers).
This! I was too scared to leave my long term relationship, thinking the stifling status quo was better than the scary unknown, and stayed for years, wondering what I was missing out on? Now, I am free and SO much happier. Risk equals reward!
We are living in a very unsafe world right now. We're watching people being gulag-ed before our very eyes. It's likely that some of us will cling to life-rafts at this point, or stay in some kind of dysfunctional status quo state in order not to have rock any boats, either our own or those of others.
I'm not in that place, and I'm definitely willing to take a chance or seven. But what I'm finding (and this is definitely part of dating in a very rural environment) is that the prospective partners are intimidated by me. How do I know this? They tell me, straight up, a lot of the time. "You're so, ummm, worldly" or "well, you're much more articulate than I am" or "you have a much better education than I do" or even "you have a mind like a steel trap." Or worst of all, "you'll certainly keep me on my toes and keep my mind agile" as if that's my goal and stated purpose in life.
How incredibly tempting! I would be weak as hell in that situation, but he does have a girlfriend. I predict that they will break up soon-because how could he resist you?
Happy to be free. Uncertainty is the playground of infinite possibilities. Onward!
Feel the same, just happy to be free to do whatever I want.
It may be tough to find a good BF, but I want to remind you that it’s even tougher to find a reliable and talented Handyman…
Ha, AMEN!

Sigh.
Sometimes it’s hard being the sharpest tool in the shed. 😉
