I admit that Silver Fox’s facade had me tempted, but seeing through, like I always do, it hasn’t taken me long to make my way through the pretty boy veneer, size him up.
Not only did I run into him last Thursday, our paths also crossed yesterday, when I was heading to the Pain Cave, and today, in the Mail Center.
Silver Fox is a talkative soul.
I picked that up about him last Thursday, but then thought about something I’ve shared before here on the blog …… that it’s frustrating to try to talk to anyone around here about anything other than what goes on in the complex, because people here are remarkably uninformed, gullible, naïve, clueless.
Water reaches its own level, so maybe Silver Fox — hungry for conversation was being drawn to me subliminally, as someone he sensed isn’t clueless.
So today, he shared his feelings about social media ….. that family lives nearby so, though he has a Facebook account, he doesn’t think much of FB as a tool to connect with others and feared that if he did use FB, he’d not be able to control his hatred of No. 45/47 — post things that would make him a target. Also, that he was a Project Manager in his previous career, and is so worried about the current regime “messing with people’s money” that though he doesn’t want to go back to work, he’s getting ahead of what he sees coming by interviewing today for a Project Manager position; and also, in preparation for what he sees coming, he went to Bass Pro this morning and bought a pew pew.
So talkative, opinionated, political, intense, angry, and soon to be packing.
I’m beginning to see why he and Shirley divorced.
When I could get a word in edgewise, I defended FB saying that, because I’m a quiet person, older than he, don’t socialize much, don't care for long phone conversations, I use FB to connect with family, friends, former coworkers and if anyone wants to communicate with me, I prefer it be through FB, Instagram, Text Message.
He seemed surprised about my age, which I told him thinking he’d think twice about being interested in me, said "You don’t look like it" and of FB he said, "Well, I guess that’s okay".
As if I needed his approval.
Though I do enjoy the eye candy Silver Fox provides and would still stop and chat with him if and when our paths cross, because I find him interesting, it’s obvious to me that he’d get on my last nerve in no time at all.
It’s not that I’d be too quiet and chill for him, it’s that he’s too talkative and intense for me, I can see him being controlling, and not be able to accept my witchcraft books, voodoo dolls, chill and nonjudgmental attitude.
He's nice to look at, but I hope his ex-wife Shirley thinks twice about going down that road again.
Just when I thought internet dating could weed out the Repubs, at least. Interesting assessments. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteSame to waste good looks with opinions and anger.
DeleteOh well, if he's anti-voodoo dolls, to hell with him!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO! Maybe I should let him see the inside of my unit, the books I read, the two dolls I'm "allowed", my walking dead Katanas, skeleton. Will send him running out the door thinking I'm a godless heathen.
DeleteIt seems like there is always something that runs the pretty picture.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's usually they talk too much, give themselves away.
DeleteI know just what you mean.
ReplyDeleteAfter my split from the ex, a good friend of mine moved in on me, my ex said that would happen. He had a good job, very cute, good in bed.... but never ever suck the fuck up and could not make a decision to save his soul, on anything!!! I remember blogging about it at the time. Needless to say I was pursuing it after some time but then dropped him quicker than a New York minute once he told he was voting for trump....He had a hot night of sex for the last time before I told him to hit the bricks... peace bitch!
We spoke once or twice after that but never again since trump got into office his first term. I have no idea if he still supports him or not. Plus he had a son...yes a son. Very well-behaved kid, but I wasn't ready to be called step mommy! I mean, that's like Karen Walker with kids honey.
Been there, done that, except his having kids was an early elimination, even though I had my girls, which was all the mommy I was going to do; and I learned from my previous disappointments after they failed to live up to what I had envisioned that, like Dr. Spock, of the Star Ship Enterprise once said ... “Having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting”. Sometimes lusting for, imagining, is better than experiencing.
DeleteI find that with most Older Men, I can get along with most of them just fine but wouldn't want to be in a relationship with any of them if I were Single. *LOL*
ReplyDeleteYoung ... Old ... in my experience, it doesn't seem to matter. All seem to present a particular problem I've found too draining. It's a matter of what one is willing to live with and, at this stage of the game, enjoying the single life as I do, I'm not willing to put up with shiz and can see it coming before we even begin.
DeleteWell, at my Age, and having Raised Two Generations of Younger People already, I wouldn't want a Younger One looking to be Mothered. *Bwahahahahaha*
DeleteI don't have the time or patience to deal with either one on a personal level.
DeleteAt least he’s anti Cheeto. But anti voodo dolls? Uh uh!
ReplyDeleteI'm just guessing he'd be like that, but I'm a good guesser. He seems fairly rigid in his thinking.
DeleteAs I read this, I began thinking about the little gay character on Will & Grace, Beverly Leslie, and what he said when Will started talking to him:
ReplyDelete"Not as pretty when it speaks."
Sounds like Silver Fox.
🤣🤣🤣 And, once again, you've hit the nail on its head.
DeleteI am a little surprised that you seem to be surrounded by the same people that I am here in PA. They love to share their "thoughts", i.e., whatever Joe Rogan is spouting that day - totally uninformed cult members. I guess I thought you would have more enlightened people in CA. I guess this disease is everywhere now.
ReplyDeleteNina
The "disease" was probably low key everywhere all the time. It's just that whereas those who were infected previously kept it on the down low, they are now showing their infection out loud.
DeleteSorry but I don't understand going to Bass Pro and buying a pew pew?
ReplyDeleteJanF
Bass Pro is a sporting goods store that sells "tools" for all kinds of outdoor activities that blogspot will not allow me to specifically name as it's a violation. But think of the tool Silver Fox bought as when kids play cops/robbers and go "pew pew pew" at each other.
DeleteOh my goodness, I would never have been able to guess. Thanks for letting me know. JanF
DeleteArmed AND angry? No thanks!
ReplyDeleteYep, a bad combination.
DeleteI've told my daughter to stay single, men aren't worth all the trouble. lol
ReplyDeleteI like FB for the same things as you, although I'm on Twitter a lot more these days.
"stay single, men aren't worth all the trouble" ... Amen to that! They can be fun to play with now and then but, overall, more trouble than not, LOL.
DeleteWhat on earth is a pew pew?
ReplyDeleteIt's a hunting and self-defense device that Blogspot will not let me use the word because it's associated with violence. But, like I described to Jan F ... picture yourself as a child playing Cops and Robbers. You point the finger under your thumb at your playmate, thumb back, three fingers under the pointing finger back, and go "pew pew pew" at your playmate. Get the picture?
