Totally agree.

Couple thoughts: First is I don't blame people for making the decisions they do or for being duped. However I've talked in several of my articles that men always have a tell about them. At the same time, if someone knew the person they were investing in was wrong, at that point, it does fall on them for staying even one more second.

Second: I was single from 2013 to 2021. I was out there, totally open. I learned that all the places I was at, were not the places, statistically, people who find someone meet.

College: I did online college

Church: My church is a hard pill to swallow, but there have been some good catches come in and out.

Friends of family and friends: Family and friends are jackasses who could not give a shit. I learned that I've had several friends and family who knew more than a couple that I could have met.

Gym or other types of memberships: After being in the Army, I don't talk with women at the gym. I want to vomit in my mouth. I don't have other types of memberships. But, some women still go after the men with chemical imbalances there, too. And I don't take second place to any other man for any reason if I'm in the same room. She has one chance to look past the masculine overdrive without a throttle adjuster to see me. But, I don't really care, to be honest, I want someone who understands the male brain, so I just let women walk off the cliff. There's a book called the Male Brain by Dr. Louann Brizendine. That would mean they would have to put down their Hallmark for a week. Again, that's not on me, I just sit back and let people show me their colors. But, I'm happily married now. I didn't settle for good enough, either.

So, how could women have met me? They would have had to be approachable at Harris Teeter, but women are not. Or Starbucks, but most women I've talked with at Starbucks were in and out like a meerkat. That's their fault for running late to work. Good time management would probably help a lot of people.
