True. Once it became common knowledge that I was out of the dating game , as in done with it, men started crawling out of the woodwork to tell me how wrong I am, or encouraging me to just be patient etc.

When my daughter said she didn’t want to bother at all (at 17) it was blame blame blame of how I taught her to hate men.

Like she hadn’t had a front seat to a lot of what I went through dating and just evaluated the situation and decided it wasn’t worth the effort. All on her own, by examining the behavior of all parties right in front of her eyes.
