I'm glad you found it interesting. I swear, I would not be at all stable if it were not for my shortwave radio. I mean, have you ever tried to listen to AM talk radio at night? UFOs, right wing rhetoric, commercials for balding and sexual dysfunction. It's all crap.
This dynamic between men and women has got me to the point where I don't even want to touch a relationship. I feel that the probabilities for emotional stress for both me and my potential female partner are just too great to make it worth it. I think this is mostly because of me. I just truly think that I should just stay single until I can really deal with it. Maybe when I'm 50 or 60. Now I just try to survive day to day.
I really think that almost all men are predators, even the "middle-aged depressed" ones. That's what it's about, really; the pursuit of the woman and her acceptance of your advances. Problem is, that is a very rudimentary instinct that does not take into account societal norms, complex emotions (that most men either deny or ignore), and the artificial environment that has become both our slave and our master.
Thanks for "blowing your horn," Dinah.
