Well it's truly an embarrassment of riches with you isn't it? Sorry it took so long to get back to you. We read the first line, died laughing again, and decided to make some popcorn so we could 'mystery science theater' the rest of your comment.

Who says entertainment is too expensive?

I had to try to explain to her what a “blue pill simp" is. I don’t think I did a very good job. She seems stuck on “so all men are simps? What’s the point of the term?” This led to what she thought of your commentary.

Funny you should ask.

Basically, she thinks you’re an idiot. And fragile. Completely lacking in any social grace. A weirdo. A creepy old man. And also stupid. There’s a reason why you can’t get a date. It’s not because you think some other guy is better looking than you. And that you need to get over yourself, you blithering imbecile.

Never ask a teenage girl what she thinks. She will tell you and she won’t pull any punches. Today’s modern teenage girl is also not going to believe, accept, or tolerate your bullshit. So there’s that.

Mixing economic theory with relationships is a mistake. That’s part of your problem. Commodifying people, sex, and relationships is a bad idea. It’s never led to anything good. You’d think people would learn.

I am happily single. I like my freedom and the peace and quiet. Men are nothing but drama and unnecessary work. Plus, I don’t like dating. Never really have. Every once in a while I’ll get a wild hair up my butt and go on a date. It’s always pretty miserable and I always regret it. It’s not like I don’t have a social life, I just prefer to hang out and do something fun or new rather than go on traditional-esque dates.

7 men asked me out this week so far though, so it’s not like I can’t get a date either. Don’t you worry about me being on the short end of that economic stick. Oh yeah, and the one guy who asked my friend if she would give him my number and see if I would go out with him. Lame.

And no, you’re wrong about women being used up and discarded too. Not too long ago when I was talking to my Dad he mentioned a woman who used to be one of the “class sluts" when I was in high school (same year). She works where he works. He was saying that every time he sees her out and about she’s with a different guy. There’s certainly no shortage. He was impressed that men are still falling all over themselves to date her at her age. We’re 50 now, by the way.

I laughed at that too. You boys are unbelievably obtuse about a lot of things. It’s funny.

I’m out of popcorn.

Oh yeah. I forgot that other weird tangent. No, I’ve never had a problem getting a date. It’s not like I would sit and pine for a man, any man, to come ask me on a date. That’s lame. I’d ask a guy if I wanted one. I’ve also never been precious about sex. I don’t get that either so I don’t equate sex with love/relationships. That said, in my 50 years I’ve known a lot of girls/women who do so I’ve seen/heard a lot of the wreckage men playing fast and loose with women’s emotions has done over the last few decades. Again, now that more men are getting a dose of being objectified and used for sex by women, you’re seeing what it’s like and how badly it hurts. It’s not a comment on the morality of the situation. Just an observation. I stand by that. What goes around always comes back around eventually.
