Her Own Fault, Then? #1LinerWeds

A woman who shall be nameless for reasons that will soon become clear, but who isn’t me or related to me, was having difficulty with a male/female relationship.

She and the other women in the room were enumerating various difficult relationships they’d had over the years, and the nameless woman summed up the gist of her history:

Men are trash — unfortunately, I like to dumpster dive.

About

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    As a divorced lady, I have to say that I have terrible taste in men, so now I just ogle the ‘bad boyz’ from afar. 😀

      Oh, Meeks, one swallow does not a summer make. But I only want to associate with the “bad boyz” on TV and in movies. They make me kind of queasy in print, though.

        lmao – I wonder if we’re somehow hardwired to view dangerous boyz as somehow more interesting? Bet it harks back to our cave woman days. 😉

          I think it’s the universal “If I met Frankenstein’s monster, he would be my friend” syndrome.

      I tend toward the cautious side. If I see a man (or, indeed, a woman, a dog, a cat, or a fish) that seems untrustworthy and/or dangerous, I run fast and run far.
