Trump’s election stole my desire to look for a partner
Washington Post ^ | December 5, 2016 | Stephanie Land

Posted on 12/06/2016 3:45:59 AM PST by C19fan

In August, I went on six dates in one week. I had decided that I was ready to look for a partner. Enough of this dating unavailable men a half-decade younger than me. They’d never seriously consider a relationship with me, my two children and our needy dog. No. I wanted to find an equal. A man who wouldn’t feel the need to step in and rescue me. I didn’t need rescuing. But I knew deep down that was only partially true. I often felt the sort of loneliness that settled in my stomach, starting from a chaotic afternoon with my children, lasting well into the night when I pulled covers tight around my chin.

She’s about a 4. But with the right attitude/personality/worldview, and a little effort on her appearance, she could catch a decent guy. But with her mental/emotional/political drawbacks, even if she were an 8, she could get a guy but never keep him.

Google her bio. She’s an SJW. And homely, too.

“I scrub lizards with a toothbrush, too.”

If they’re that hard to clean, I think I’d find something else for dinner.

This woman sounds crazy enough to be one of my future ex-girlfriends.

“Lies in the first sentence. Who goes on 6 dates in one week? “

Maybe the word “dates” means something different to her....

Two points:

1. if the libs who write stuff like this knew how they are keeping our post-election schadenfreude going, they’d keep it to themselves.

2. too bad no one is keeping a list of the best lib meltdown articles - this one might be top 10.

Speaking on behalf of her potential partners, I would like to say “Thank You, Donald Trump.”

OMG! Whine much? I love the way she’s looking for a “partner” not a husband. She doesn’t need to date she needs to go to therapy.

I have to admit that that is a sentence I never thought I would read.

It surprises me, too. However, if you don't scrub them with disinfectant soap, they get mildewed.

I am not the optimistic person I was on the morning of Nov. 8, wearing a T-shirt with “Nasty Woman” written inside a red heart.

She does not have to worry. No sensible man would marry or even date a bitter woman who would wear one of those shirts.

I'll say. Sounds rather manic. Then, her bright shiny Hillary future came crashing down and the pendulum careened into depression.

I have a t-shirt that says, “Also, I can kill you with my brain.” Another says, “You say ‘wicked’ like it’s a bad thing.”

I served 20 years in the Navy and one thing I learned, some guys will -er- DO anyone.

No I use Brave. It just blocks them without messages. You can check at any time to see if it blocked anything for each page you visit if you want... and Yes, it has a manual list you can add blocks, but it also maintains a built in list thru updates. I don’t like it for everything, but for browsing news sites and blogs, its my primary browser.

You should have no trouble finding dates with real men (including me if I were single), if you could find them. Playful and fun are good things. Intelligent is great. All are a pleasant contrast with bitter and crazy, both of which are overdone.

Read the whole thing.

If you ever doubted that leftism is a mental illness, this screed will remove all doubt, forever.

Pathetic.

She's got that kind of Annie Wilkes look about her

I wouldn't hit her with a uber driver's bionic penis.

Mildewed Lizards would be a good name for a metal band.

Thank goodness for Free Republic. Nowhere else have I ever encountered a sentence quite like that one. :-)
