Show and tell. Enthusiasm. Patience... I suddenly realize I sound like I am Kramer telling the story of Billy Mumphrey.

Most of the older women I know who are single are really fucking happy about it. They’ve been married, they’ve had sex, they’ve had kids, they’ve gotten what they want out of men, and they are fucking done with the lot of them. So if she dumps him and then gets with guys who are more compatible in bed, and then…
