I had this funny situation come up today, where a woman recognized me in a coffee shop I was sitting in. She came up to say hi and we chatted for a couple minutes before I needed to return to my work. We had a conversation before a month or so ago and we’d gotten on pretty well.

I decided to ask for her number before I left and she shot me down. She had this surprised look on her face and told me she has a fiancé. Apparently she was sitting right beside him at the moment.

Well, he looked as oblivious as she looked surprised. So, obviously the answer I got was no, but given that reaction, I have to wonder if I just caught her off guard and she froze up. I’ve noticed that a lot of women se caught off guard when I make approaches.

Is it just me or do women not expect to be approached?

I remember being a teenager, and just DYING to turn 21. At around 18, I vehemently disliked that the drinking age is 21. I thought to myself, "how are you gonna tell me that I am a legal adult, BUT I can't buy a beer? WTF kind of bullshit is that? Now, I am approaching 35 years old, and my perspective has flipped 180 degrees. Not only do fully understand why someone would want the drinking age 21+, I am actually leaning towards advocating for it to be even older. 18 year olds should not be allowed to legally drink. Period. A 21 year old is honestly not much better. I consider them in the same age group. I see the way people in their early 20's behave all the time, and I am just like, wow... it's ridiculous that we allow people this age range to have access to liquor. I'm sorry, but 18-21 is a KID, and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

I believe so, much more like a techno-dystopia.

We are in an era where we cannot afford homes and struggle to attain even the basic essentials, but we can manage to have smartphones and tech in which our eyes are glued to all day, tuning out what is going on around us.

Many of us are over-worked, picking up entry-level jobs because the middle class is being decimated. Once the beacon of prosperity and advancement is becoming no more. The rungs on the ladder of success and growth are becoming much wider apart.

Meanwhile, the predatory push for the "Own nothing; be 'Happy'" approach continues to thrive, and as people are being scattered everywhere, homeownership becomes more out of reach and land continues to be grabbed up to build high-density apartment rentals.

People have become cold, anti-social, and hostile in public, especially on the roads where it is a war zone. Loneliness and isolation are becoming the norm. Men have become emasculated and testosterone levels are plummeting.

The air is becoming more flat and thin. The big pollinators, the bees, are dying off, and the foliage looks less lush.

We are in the midst of a volunteer firefighter shortage, and as most of the fire departments in the US are volunteer-run with a rise of emergency calls that have tripled, our public safety infrastructure is crumbling. There is less optimism and motivation of generosity to help each other.

The government is out to serve themselves and their special interest groups, while ignoring the needs of the people overall. The government spies on their own citizens and doesn't want us to have individuality or autonomy. The greatest threat to them is living off grid, free of bureaucracy and control. They want you to be their sheep.

Talking about new guy. Not an existing one.
