When she shuts you down so hard that you reconsider your worth
I hate that evolutionary part of me that cares about having sex/a mate so much that I actually allow myself to become depressed based on the goddamn preferences of one person.
For years the only happiness I’ve found has been by removing myself from the market entirely and just writing off the notion of being with someone, a “with no hope/expectations there is no letdown” kind of thing.
I was carrying on just fine like this until I got a beautiful new coworker a few months ago who laughs at even my worst jokes like it’s going out of style. Alas though I’m sure she likes me I know I’m too old for her so here I am just unusually unhappy in my solitude for the first time in years. Ugh, is it time to get on tinder? I fucking hate the whole enterprise of dating.
How "too old" are we talking here
I’m 84 and she’s 16
Are you sure you’re not a reddit mod?
I cant tell if you’re piling on with my joke or if you’re being the joke police, because my first downvote came right when you commented.
Either way I take offense to the accusation.
Yeah dating someone too young is one thing, but being a Reddit mod is a different thing altogether.
/s before the downvotes.
Lol
