I'll be 69 in January. I would have been 33. But I was never the prettiest girl in the place. I was usually the "wing gal". I never married, but over the years I've dated guys that I met just about every way EXCEPT meeting them in a bar, including personal ads back in the 90s and early 00s, then dating apps. Given that I'm a Democratic atheist living in Texas, it's just easier for me to lay all my cards on the table.
