Agreed.

Absolutely this. It breaks my heart that my 60 year old mum has been single for 25 years meanwhile my dad (who was abusive, she dumped him) got remarried within 2 years. She’s the most wonderful person, but somewhere along the way she just lost all hope in finding someone. She always jokes that she’d have to find a 90…

As a mannish person in their late-20s with a legion of psychological issues, I can attest to this. 

My mother always used to say that if you met a guy who was still unmarried at 35 and had never been in a series long-term relationship, there was a good reason they were unmarried. When I was younger I thought, “mom, you are so misandrist/agist”; now I think, “mom, you were so right.”

They should take their money and form a production company that treats women decently while creating jobs in the industry. The best revenge is making huge stacks while abusers sit in jail.

Man, I’m in my early 30s and I see this plain as day. It’s like the majority men of my generation are either complacent or delusional (it could also be that I live in Vegas where lots of “professional” poker players congregate). I’ve decided that if I can’t find someone who’s on a similar wavelength, I have to keep…

I am moments away from turning 40 and you described me. About 8 years ago I just stopped “looking” and started just doing things I wanted to do some times with friends some times alone. And it hasn’t been the end of my world and I enjoy traveling alone (which mostly people don’t get and think I am faking) maybe it…

“It will happen for you one day” is one of the nuttier things well-meaning people say to me. It’s strange, like saying “you will win the lottery one day” or possibly “you will get hit by lightning one day”. I mean... even if I WERE to meet someone who is the marrying kind, that’s not necessarily a happy ending? Some…

I loved this post. Thank you for writing it.

I love that you love yourself enough to be alone. I am working on that, I am with someone who does not love me and have been for a very long time because I am so afraid. I am not much younger than you, and today you gave me strength. Thank you.

What it ultimately boils down to is: there are many more exceptional women out there than there are exceptional men. Ninety percent of the older single (unpartnered) women I know are intelligent, attractive and have many loving relationships with family and friends. I really cannot say the same about the older…

Yeah, I am no longer with the college boyfriend but I have not parted with the love letters. They are really sweet to read and give me nostalgia to the bone (not for him, but for that young me). It’s nice to have something tangible, I’m going to say it: kids today are missing out on the art of a letter. Texts and…

Yes to this. All we have is ourselves on this ride, and no matter who is with you, what job you have, where you live, you still have to be with yourself. Being able to bond with other people will enrich your life, but even the best of friendships can tear your heart out. Life can be really long and full of intense…

I am 60 years old. In case it helps, I’m going to tell you what I know.

Back in the olden days before cell phones and interwebs you could go out with someone, even more than once, and because things were slower, communication less instant and constant, getting ghosted was less painful. Answering machines were wonky, roommates flaky with messages, numbers juxtaposed, rejection was just…

Good for you, Aimee. Like you when I was alone (non-stop for the first 30 years of my life) I shrugged and said “it’s just me, it’s just who I am, to be alone.” I tried to convince everyone around me that it was fine, it didn’t matter, I’d be alone forever and that was a-ok.

Aimee, I’m not going to tell you you’ll find someone or you won’t die alone or the right guy is out there but you need to relax.

Dude, I’ve been trying on and off since June to get my arms to her level. Somebody give me her arm workout routine, like now

PREACH. I friggin’ hate dresses so much for the lack of built-in sleeves.

Arm spanx. Yes, they are an actual thing. They are a thing I did not know I needed until I gained weight, and a whole bunch of it went to my upper arms. Thanks shitty genetics.
