Dating Thread: Hope Springs Eternal


Recommended Posts

Saying I may know better is already a dangerous road. :P

I think @Mlle. Zabzie is absolutely correct though, we just communicate differently. What I don't get is she keeps saying I don't let her talk on these long ass calls when she's doing like 70% of the speaking. Maybe I just met her at the wrong time for both of us.

You literally haven’t even MET her yet, lol.

 

Meanwhile, the Doctor stated this morning that he wasn’t feeling frisky…and then we had a little snuggle, and presto, he was frisky :D 

And we still need to figure out where we are going and getting the hell out of Dodge, here, for a bit, because our very best times are typically had in Europe. Spain was just a delight.

Title is wrong, should be "Hope Springs Hormonal".

My hormones may be artificial (how did women get through menopause in the olden days without HRT??? Did they just keel over from an intense hot flash? Or drown accidentally in a night sweat??) but that means my hormones are RELIABLE and CONSISTENT.

1 milligram of oral estrogen, every day. 

I don’t know about men; I hear they have daily hormonal swings and there’s also something called “andropause” which is like male menopause, but testosterone is even more difficult to get from doctors than estrogen, apparently.

Generally they were dead before that happened.

Or pregnant up to that point.

Or nuns.

Or very lucky, like Victoria (handwashing and speculums and anesthesia had come in by then, and she was rich -- unlike, say, Queen Ann, whose 19 pregnancies and never a living child, was not lucky).  It was a miracle with as many miscarriages, still births and the rest -- I think she was pregnant 17 times in all -- that President John Quincy Adams's wife, Louisa, survived.  She nearly died many times.

I guess I can be just quietly glad that I'm born male and somehow missed the memo about what this puberty stuff was supposedly about. But hey, at least that also means no stupid hair on the chest and in the armpits...

Btw, I also deleted the dating apps yesterday again. I thought I had better pictures this time around, but getting three likes in almost two months in total and all of them immediately unmatching is just... well, I guess I dodged putting even more pressure on myself forcing myself to be sociable, so there is that.

Run away!

Yeah, everyone is saying as much I talk to off site. I tend to trust one of my step-bros most and his long time partner even more because she is the best and they were both like eject immediately. 

Sigh.

Well so much for that one. I mentioned in passing I've made friends with people from here, specifically from all over the world with different perspectives and stories, and she told me she thinks we're all weird. I mentioned @Fragile Bird buying a book for me because it was really the only way to get it and she told me I was insane to trust her. Guess I'll pick you weirdos everyday.

See, Ty, the answer to that is to go to Worldcon next year in Glasgow and meet up with the BwB. Then you will have actually met us and will know us, more than just as folks on the internet. Or wait until the year after, when it will likely be in the US again. That’s exactly how I met so many people, attending the Chicago conference, then San Antonio, then Spokane, then Kansas City, and hopped the Atlantic twice, for London and Helsinki.

:D

If your perception here is accurate, that the convo is 70/30 and she is complaining you 'don't let her talk' then you're already being gaslighted before there is even a relationship.  Run.
