The most common personality trait ‘turn offs’ I’ve heard discussed amongst the single older women I’m friends with include game playing, manipulation, ambivalence, general immaturity and emotional stuntedness.

To be clear -- by MEN I presume? HA -- you're right in 95% of the cases. BUSTED!

Yet...."General immaturity and emotional stuntedness" should mean we are given that mulligan, no?

(As a group, we really never do "grow up" much do we? INSIDER SECRET: We all sign an oath in gym locker rooms and garages by age 11 to "remain 12 years old emotionally in perpetuity" ....ssshhhh....

tbh- I have the humor and maturity of a 14 y/o boy too.

But- I am a very effective communicator when the need arises. I’m not bitchy about things either bc I believe you get better results with a drop of honey than you do a gallon of vinegar - and that decreases subsequent and unnecessary collateral fights/damage.

Nope. I’m not over here to fix whatever emotional stuntedmess mommy caused in them and I’m also done dealing with it.

Also, apologies for major typos I may miss. I’m cooling out the horse and it’s bright as hell out here.
