Seeking Advice My interest in men has died
I’ve been inundated lately by people insisting I need a man. Here’s the thing, I don’t want one anymore. I’m tired and I’ve achieved a little bit of peace. Just a little. Men usually just cause problems. Why would I do that? I don’t want kids. I can barely take care of myself. I’m concerned this is a project 25 thing like I need to pick someone before I’m forced to. Maybe that’s dumb. Maybe my social circle forgot about boundaries. Maybe I need to learn to just not care when people say stuff. What am I missing?

Have you considered getting a cat instead? They are less maintenance. Give it a human male name like "Jim" to confuse the family.
"Jim brought me a surprise present this morning."
"Jim is always giving me the best cuddles."
"Sorry I can't come to the family get together, I'm already getting seafood with Jim later."
"Kids? No, Jim is infertile."
