Have you thought carefully about what was most terrible in your previous relationships so that you can avoid it in your current or future relationship?

One thing about old women annoys me immensely. Let me explain. I went to a bar yesterday, like I sometimes do on Saturday nights. I was peacefully sipping my drink at the counter when suddenly one of those old women showed up. Clearly had more than a few drinks already, wearing ridiculously trashy makeup (definitely … Read more
