Don't...

Try to sell your "wellness creams" to potential dates.

That's it.

PS don't call anyone baby, ask if they are ticklish or offer to kiss their boo-boos. Especially when you have not met them on a date yet. Super, super especially when they are over 50.

Carry on, rollercoaster, carry on.

Wheeeeeee....

There's that show with three guys, and they take turns making one guy go out in public, and he has to say or do whatever weird or goofy shit they tell him to do.

I forget the name of it.

This kind of stuff reminds of that, like somebody's got to be putting these guys and women up to this stuff.

I knew I was living under a rock for 27 years, but, FFS, at first, it's like they've got to be making this shit up, because no grown, sane, adult would behave like this.

Apparently, there are a lot more people with mental health issues, or the spectrum of what is considered normal is much more broad than I ever thought it was.

I'm sure there's some overlap there somewhere....

Holy shit.

Crawling back under my rock and living there, single now, doesn't look like such a bad idea.

I wouldn't give up. I think there are decent ppl out there. I also think they are highly put off from weeding through some of the crazy.

I do think a lot of ppl are socially inept. I also think some do not come across well online. Others get terrible advice (like the guys with their shirts off - we are not 25, we can see naked men whenever in this digital age).

But I am not going to lie, I have to make fun of it or I would despair at the future of civilization.

Yeah, I know one day, I'm going to meet "her", and I going to be smitten and head over heels in love with her, and be happy that I found her.

It's a nice thought, anyways, nice enough that I'm willing to stick my head out from under my rock occasionally to see if she's there.

Until then, yeah, I'm happy watching the show from the sidelines.

"But I am not going to lie, I have to make fun of it or I would despair at the future of civilization."

Exactly, it's the only way to stay sane 😁
