Re: How's Life?

[(Anonymous)]

I decided a decade ago not to discuss this topic with men I like, because they always reveal how much they don’t really see women (including me) as people, no matter which ‘side’ they are on, and I prefer to live with the delusion that they aren’t like that. I feel this is just the more extreme version of that.

I’m so sorry nona. Distance. I’m assuming you don’t have the kind of relationship where you can laugh and gently mock him for this, or even say, “Look, you know I don’t think that’s how any of this works.” or anything like that, like how you’d talk to a friend who brings up strong religious beliefs you disagree with?

Thanks. We don't hang much these days, thanks to life and family, so it's mostly just social media interactions. We did have the kind of laughing and mocking relationship back when we spent a lot of time hanging, but honestly, dudes who go this route totally lose their ability to make fun of themselves, so I'm thinking lost cause. At least I'll remember him fondly.
