I am quite content with the fact that my work, my politics, my community and my books are just as important to me as anyone I happen to be dating… I live in a commune, I date multiple people, and I’m focused on my career.
Potential suitors please take note. You are but one of many, and no more important to Laurie Penny than her books.
Here’s a picture of the lovely Ms. Penny:

I think that she’s right to focus on her career.
“I think that she’s right to focus on her career.”
And her cats.
Wow … she’s painted her hair bright pink ! That’s so edgy, so artistic, so rebellious … if she still lived in the 1970’s. She sounds as though she just saw the film “An Unmarried Woman” for the first time.
The thirst is real. There are men that marry porn stars so why wouldn’t Laurie also have suitors?
There’s a real lack of self-respect amongst us men when it comes to chicks b
Yes, when it comes to chicks some think with the wrong appendage.
Just so long as she doesn’t expect MY descendents to look after her in her declining years insteading of tending to the family that loves them.
Self-respect is one reason I’m still single. I’ve met too many women who dress like her, think like her, or both.
There’s a reason why I’ve lampooned that point in the wedding ceremony as: “With this ring, I’ll be bled.”
The world is full of attractive single women who will bring everything a man desires into a marriage. Unfortunately you will have to travel overseas to meet them.
Provided one has what they’re looking for.
I courted a foreign student while we were working on our Ph. D.s. Looking back, I think all she wanted was an anchor baby and someone to finance its upbringing. The boyfriend she was canoodling with, and who she led me to believe was no longer in the picture, provided her with both just over a year after they started shacking up. They deserved each other.
More than 30 years ago, I carried on a correspondence with a different foreign lady, courtesy of a mutual acquaintance. Not only was she clearly after a husband, and, I’m sure, he had to be someone in North America, using that arrangement as a means of getting into Canada. I don’t think that would have lasted very long as she may well have dumped her husband once she got here. Fortunately, I never found out.
“Provided one has what they’re looking for.”
But isn’t that the situation with every potential mate? I know many men who have met the love of their lives overseas, whether it be Portugal, or Taiwan. Marriage is never a venture to be embarked upon without due consideration of all facts.
“Marriage is never a venture to be embarked upon without due consideration of all facts.”
Indeed. I’ve known too many people who got married without, apparently, thinking things through or calculating the costs, financial or otherwise. They lived to regret their decision.
A cat lady in the making … that is if STGs will not get her first.
