My age kills my self esteem and I don't know how I can go ahead and compete in the dating market.
I guess in the shallow market that might be true. But do you really hang out with friends who think women are a commodity? And do you genuinely think that about yourself? Dating, love, friendships, marriage are about two people who like each other. Who have a connection. Not cattle. This is not Kabul.

heh heh heh. Ear worm. A news reporter friend is in San Francisco and posted a picture of a cable car which got the rice-a-roni song going in my head, then that lead to the movie Inside Out and and the triple mint gum commercial and the angry guy's head going up in flames.

Grr. Now I have that song in my head.
