I’m attempting to date. At my age, I’m not getting much interest, except from men 15 or more years older than me...75 year olds and all. 🤬.

But I feel good about owning my power and refusing to do any of the expected “go-along to get along”, self-demeaning things we women are so used to.

Sucks bad, sometimes, being alone, but it feels great to see a typical “line”, and rather than submissively play along because god-forbid you offend Some Guy who might take a liking if you play your cards right, you instead catch the ball, throw it in the weeds, and come back with a nice verbal hockey stick.
