I don't get it, why would it be too late? Unless you're physically revolting, an eloquent and funny guy like you can usually find a woman to settle with. I promise you it's about a million times more rewarding than sleeping with poor but pretty girls in what can only be described as semi-prostitution.

I saw the comments on the column advice run by you and DF. I felt they were too mean towards you. I feel from this post that you are bringing the pain forward, maybe explaining yourself, maybe because it built up. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

I do enjoy your writing! Thank you.

This activates the inevitable "I can fix him" gene. I refuse to believe someone who can write like you is unlovable

But what of the rot and decay of being with the wrong woman? A woman whose only action is to take. A forever event horizon. Sadness is crippling, but rot means your bones are gone.

This story is touching. The point of view is compelling and sad. I'd like to share it with more people but I don't know how to get in contact with you about that. Will you reach out to me? My email is janettethefrench@gmail.com and in general...I'm a loser. But also a regular person.
