Lol, bc it's a more leftist of stronghold than Madison, and that's saying something

oh. well yes. very much so. I lucked out at my last job being like, the only conservatives in tech - this new job is less so, but they're way more live-let-live.

and as far as local politics, i'm in like, the only red village in the suburbs. even if now we DO have the unfortunate reputation of being the only village dumb enough to have 60-some percent of the population almost vote in an actual literal nazi. that was... less fun.

If I got everything organized, it would probably be Milwaukee or somewhere around Madison

neat 😃 I could totally be down for either. I will keep an eye out!

I almost went to the west suburbs last night

To do something really dumb

oh yeah? what dumb thing? cuz now i gotta know. 😃

My ex

ooooh. yeah i'm glad you were able to avoid that.

even without knowing backstory - ex's are always dangerous

some of the western suburbs are okay though

dangerous but forever tempting

Not my most recent girlfriend, but the one before.... we're like on the edge of trying again

probably safer to just meet new people. but what do i know? i had like three exs that I would just kinda cycle through from time to time.

Yes, and we had a pretty drama free split. It was more timing than incompatibility

oh man. that's like, the dream. not the breaking up but the drama free ness. points to you, internet stranger. 😃

No, the dream was dating a girl a decade my junior that was smart enough to have an actual relationship

oh i cant even dream that big.

Speaking of liberal strongholds, anyone in the Metro Detroit/Ann Arbor area?

I'm sorry you live in that stink hole

@J Edgar you dated a ten year old??

No, I did not fulfill that fantasy when I was 20

I waited until I was 30

Allah would approve

lol

That's not true either. The first time I dated someone 10 years younger than me...I asked her out 3 days after I turned 28

there is hope for me yet to bang the hot cheerleader then!

Oddly, one of the very few *important* women in my life was six years younger than me, and became my wife for twenty years

Most of my good ones have been 2-10 years older

But I only have a personal sample size of about 200 to go on, and I preselected them, so this is statistically meaningless

Same age for me the women I proposed to was a year younger than me though

Did her husband at the time object saint?

hahaha

If so, I hope you pushed his wheelchair off a cliff while he was sitting in it. I can’t stomach divorce

It was my highschool sweetheart

Hmm. Clearly advantages to failing ten high school years, being the only non-refugee in the class to have a beard then, and teach does not get locked up for shagging student!

Way to go. I wanted to do that to my French teacher when I was 13, but she was not committed

I said a year younger

Lol

Have another beer, I’m buying
