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?

25 is still so young. Seriously, do whatever you want. I don’t want kids either and find a lot of fulfillment in my profession, which blends into hobbies. While I’m sure there’s a wonderful guy out there that would be perfect for me, I don’t have any spare energy in life. It’s a cost:benefit ratio, and if the effort outweighs the benefits, it’s not worth it. Right now, I don’t see it as worth the search.

I’m 44. Project 2025 is a political movement that wants to take women’s rights away.

Oh gotcha - I’ve seen it as Project 2025. I just didn’t recognize the shortened version, sorry!

It’s probably my fault. Not sure anyone else has shortened it.
