Alone

Exactly. IDGAF.

Just because many modern women feel they are entitled to Chris Hemsworth and will accept nothing less has nothing to do with me. Even if I were single, I’d not want anything to do with those vile shit humans. Not sour grapes. Just reality. They’d be terrible to date even if I were Chris.

Die alone with your cats, miserable and yearning for something you’ll never have. Serves you right.

Urbs

I’ve had that debate with an urbanist friend before who doesn’t drive. We were talking about transit and I mentioned you could just do a lot more more quickly by car in the less dense suburbs and exurbs. That stumped her and it was clear the reason was because lack of driving experience.

I said something like, “That’s because in non-dense suburbs I can drive 15 miles in any direction in 15 minutes. I can get to many more places a lot more quickly than in a city even with the best transit and then have room to bring it back to my place. Try that on a bus or a train, especially if you’re older or not that strong.”

Also, commuting by car outside of dense urban areas is more pleasant. I used to work at a place in rural Washington state. I loved driving there every day and back (except when it was snowy). The route went through gorgeous mountains with a great view. I looked forward to my 15-20 minute drive each day.

And yes, I do have experience with mass transit. I’ve taken it extensively in NYC and London when I’ve been in those places. It takes me 30+ minutes to get somewhere in NYC by transit I could reach in five minutes in the suburbs. Non-driver transit-focused urbanists don’t want to believe it, but it is true.
