In August, I went on six dates in one week. I had decided that I was ready to look for a partner. Enough of this dating unavailable men a half-decade younger than me. Theyd never seriously consider a relationship with me, my two children and our needy dog. No. I wanted to find an equal. A man who wouldnt feel the need to step in and rescue me. I didnt need rescuing.
...two weeks later, the election happened. Once it was clear that Donald Trump would be president instead of Hillary Clinton, I felt sick to my stomach. I wanted to gather my children in bed with me and cling to them like we would if thunder and lightning were raging outside, with winds high enough that they power might go out. The world felt that precarious to me.
My oldest came out of her room the next morning to show me the money the Tooth Fairy had left her. Shed unexpectedly had to have a tooth pulled, and so bravely went through it that I said, Just think: Youll always remember the day you got a tooth pulled with the day we elected our first female president.
When I told her Trump had won, she protested: But Mom. You said Hillary was going to win.
Ive lost the desire to attempt the courtship phase. The future is uncertain. I am not the optimistic person I was on the morning of Nov. 8, wearing a T-shirt with Nasty Woman written inside a red heart. It makes me want to cry thinking of that. Of seeing my oldest in the shirt I bought her in Washington, D.C., that says Future President.

I wonder if she met her dates on street corners by waving at passing cars?
“Immodest Cow” might be less flattering, but more accurate. :)
Honey...You gonna need a gun to find a partner!
However PBA doesn’t bother them...?
gnip
Woof
Best line of the day.
She has at least two offspring.
Oh, gee...Look what the possible partners will be missing!
Some guy just dodged a bullet there.
>>Six dates in one week....????....woof<<
August to November 8 is one week? Where do these people learn to write?
I’m surprised the WAPO would publish this drivel.
I guess they’ve thrown in the towel completely, and are writing down to the level of most of their remaining readers.
Such an insult to real snowflakes
Comments at the article are great.
“Enough of this dating unavailable men a half-decade younger than me”
Er... so she has been dating younger men, who are already in a relationship, 6 times a week. I’m not saying she is a slut... but she is a slut.
This back shot tells more about her than the face upstream! See the tat on the left forearm? Me thinks that is how she sees herself!
That isn’t dating. That is desperation.
“Oh, gee...Look what the possible partners will be missing!”
Hundreds!
They have to fill the pages, but this is just marginal confessions of no real variety.
I might as well write into WaPo and confess that when Crystal Pepsi went away in 1993...I kinda lost my drive to excel and my ambitions to be a Yankee Third Basemen went away. Note, Crystal Pepsi was only around for roughly twelve months, so it was a hard thing for me to accept as they dropped production. It’s just never been the same.
