    I dated heavily during COVID. Weird, I know, but that’s how it went. I had 4 first dates at my place or hers. Weird, but those were the times.

    Every woman I met was from a dating site. Not like anyone was meeting in person in 2020. (If those aren’t working for you, it’s you. Yes, it’s a crap shoot. So is any other form of meeting people. You mostly lose, sometimes score. Sorry.)

    If you were anti-vax, sporting a Confederate flag, dead animal, hot motorcycle or truck, you likely lost out. Conservatives were strictly screened. I’m relaying these anecdotes from hyper-conservative NW Florida.

    “LOL, yeah, I’m kind of a redneck.”

    “Uh… Exactly how redneck?”

    “I fucking loathe Trump if that’s what you’re asking.”

    “Whew. Just had to check.”

    That was a girl from Mississippi. (God she was a great woman.)

    These guys have to be frustrated. It’s funny on one hand, but they’re lashing out with the other. Just like Christianity diminishing. They’re freaking out.
