You’re a gay fish?

Definitely appreciate the comment.

I’m bicoastal in two gigantic cities and counterintuitively that likely exacerbates the problem.

I would love to be with someone “age appropriate” (hate that term) if they align with my lifestyle. I’ve probably encountered that less than five times.

Maybe I’m immature? Midlife crisis? I don’t think so and my therapist is brutally honest - she doesn’t see any red flags. I’m choosy about those with whom I share my time and I’m probably overly conscious that there isn’t an unhealthy power dynamic (as is common with larger age gaps.)

I’ve done the Cyclades as well. Mykonos is definitely the same vibe I’m describing. Finding someone my age who prefers a late night at Scorpios over an early morning at a farmers market is not as easy as it sounds.

This is where I’m at now.

I’ve never married. I have no children nor do I ever want them.

I’ve been what many would describe as “successful” in my professional life.

I have modest personal wealth which allows me to travel far more extensively than most people.

In the last few years, I’ve started dating an age pool that many of my contemporaries consider “too young.” Not even close to the age gap that our dear Violet is describing, but enough that I’ve gotten the eye rolls and comments and “sugar daddy” accusations.

The women I date have college degrees. They have independence. They have their own money. Many are entrepreneurs, as am I. Almost all, like me, can work remotely from anywhere that has internet access.

A vast majority of women my age are not interested in the lifestyle I want and have. I’ve found it to just be far more rare.

Younger women are more likely to be aligned with me politically. My experience is that women my age are more likely to have the old pension mindset rather than entrepreneurial mindset.

Can I find someone my age that shares my values and lifestyle? Absolutely - but I’ve found that pool is far, far smaller as you increase the age range.

I’ll take the eye rolls and comments if it allows me to go to away at the last minute for a weekend in Ibiza or Saint Tropez whenever I choose. My childfree ass will take that over visiting her grandkids any day.

They just reissued the Testarossa.

And it’s a hybrid.

In a functional version of America, Congress has the “power of the purse” and controls funding for federal programs, even departments of the executive branch, like DHS.

In a functional version of America, making a threat like this would result in instant impeachment and removal.

In a functional version of America, the chief executive would have the grade school level knowledge of civics which includes the fact that the states control all election procedures for their residents. And then the states provide the results of said elections to the federal government. The federal government plays no role in those elections (except maybe in DC?) outside the scope of the federal election commission (which is an independent agency.)

But alas, we are not living in a functional version of America.

Wow, I’d love to try…

Cures don’t come with a subscription model.

The pharma industry likes to defend its pricing by saying:

The second pill cost 25¢.

The first pill cost $800 million.

What they never actually say is that the US government (thereby the taxpayers) heavily subsidized most of that cost.

Big Pharma could use its own Mario Brother, just saying.

Walter Masterson is probably the closest I can think of when he baits MAGA.

Be ungovernable.

They call it a double-sided economy.

I call it “let’s fuck everyone.”

It’s probably self explanatory given my education and career choices.

Poor Hoobler…

Negasonic Teenage Warhead is so good that they named (created) the comic book character after the song, not the other way around.
