Cant hide now!



 I don't know how long this has been around, but I accidentally stumbled on it; "Are we dating the same man" groups on Facebook.  

Hy.Ster.ICAL.  

What an absolutely FABULOUS idea!  These groups are serious about vetting who joins, are for women only and have a set of rules that are strictly followed or you get booted.  Anyway, the ones I'm in seem to be. 

 My rule is "if you put it on facebook, it will be found out" which is actually one of the warnings posted.  There will always be a risk that the man you post will find out you posted.  Its a risk many are willing to take.

The point of these groups, which are usually limited to certain cities or areas, is to alert other women of potential problem men and to basically catch them out if they are cheating or behaving badly.  It's freaking GENIOUS.  

I wonder if men have the same groups?  "This woman expected me to give out because she brought me to dinner"  or "I felt unsafe because she wouldn't let me out of the car" or "I keep finding men's products in her bathroom".......probably not.

It's not actually hysterical.  It's actually a bit disturbing when you read some of the experiences that woman are sharing about the same men.  It's a public service, and I love the comradery of the women supporting each other.

There is a little drama, but not too much, and usually caused by someone who doesn't want to accept that the man she is dating isn't who or what she thought he was.  Give it time.

I'm grateful not to have had to post.  I've never felt unsafe, or like a potential victim......in years.  But this would have been OUTSTANDING to review a few years back.  It's a wonderful and sad tool that women should use if they are part of the dating scene.

I haven't seen anyone I know, thank goodness.  I hope never TO see anyone I know.  I highly doubt I'll be posting ever considering my lack of dating.

Genius.

I love ChatGPT

 I am extremely transparent with my emotions because i do not have the ability to NOT be.  My only option when i'm having any feelings is to talk in a very low, slow, monotone voice and keep my face as blank as i possibly can. Unless they mean something to me. Unless i care about them and how they treat me.  So while i'm perfectly okay with never seeing or hearing from Mr. Cigar again, in light of his true self unveiling, I am overthinking my expression of emotions to him.   I took this little conversation and put it into ChatGPT with no questions or directions and this is what i got back: This exchange captures a painful and emotionally charged moment. Your initial message was heartfelt, vulnerable, and expressed a genuine desire for connection and acknowledgment. His response, while polite on the surface, carried a sharp undercurrent of blame and finality—deflecting accountability and subtly rewriting the narrative as your fault. Ending it with “safe travels ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...

Same stuff

 Nothing new to report.   I've been managing my anxiety, trying to, at least.  I know when it's kicking up and i know it's temporary.   Still doing physical therapy, walking, stretching, losing weight VERY slowly.  Not so easy to lose it at my age.  But i have an appointment in September to discuss hormone replacement and i think that may help me out with body aches and lethargy. Mr. Cigar is as busy as ever, yet always manages to make me feel important in his life.  It's been only 3 months and that shocks me a little bit.  Feels like it's been so much longer.  The pace is perfect, and it's nice to not have to make power moves with him.   I need to see my kids.  I think about them daily and know they have busy lives.  But i feel disconnected sometimes.  Same with some of my friends.  It's really hard for me to reach out.  To anyone. And i've also been enjoying my "do absolutely nothing" time. ...
