No More Heterosexual Friends!
“The heterosexual lifestyle is filled with mental illness, heavy stress, running around in circles, and intense people pleasing. I want no parts of that shit!”
Last year I decided that I didn’t need any more friends. I accurately pinpointed how needy many women are, and I am so childfree to my core that the thought of mothering grown adult women with the same problems they enjoy making makes me cringe.
But there were some blind spots that I couldn’t locate in my choice to no longer add any more bodies to the friendship seats. It wasn’t until I recently realized that as far as sexuality goes I am not as “straight as an ironing board,” and my disgust and apprehension in what we consider to be normal, healthy behavior in women began to make sense.
Most women are heterosexual, or believe they are heterosexual. And we have absolutely nothing in common. I understand that I am generalizing, but we are not aligned when it comes to our thoughts, opinions, interests, goals, and lifestyles. And probably will never be.
This isn’t me being condescending either. It is the truth. I am the living, breathing antonym of normal, and being comfortable in my solitude comes with the territory. Now I am not saying that straight women don’t like peace and quiet. But what I have observed is that they have limits as to how far they will go…
