I see lots of people posting about giving up on dating and throwing shade at the opposite sex. Frankly I’m convinced people don’t try hard enough.

People have long lists of what they want from other people, but rarely mention what they intend to bring to the table.

And if you think guys just want sex, or women just want money, you need to use your whole brain.

I'm pan so I don't have any issues with genders.

I'm also 40 and my son is to an age he needs a lot of support. I can't be in a relationship right now unless it they want to love both of us. I'm not going to live separate lives because people don't want to deal with my child.

It's a little more complicated than simply putting in the work. I'm putting my effort into being a parent.
