insulted that they have to keep the company of a female.
Sometimes our perception of what others think of us can become distorted.
True. If it was the truth, I didn’t argue it because I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life with a male anyway. I think I must be a celibate gay.

I’m glad you’re satisfied now. Some people are happier alone, including me.
Oh, I’m not alone. I live in an adult foster care home. I gave up living alone when I was 54. I was getting older for one and for two, one doesn’t learn much all by oneself.
Scream and run the other way. or Don’t like her. We keep up our male egos.
I always thought you were a girl. Was I wrong?
I am (was) a girl. I was not a normal-acting/looking girl in school. Boys would say and men now, like construction workers will not say, but message vocally among them. ’ She’s a dog? . Stay away from her.’ The intention: “We gotta keep up our male egos.”
Oh. I got confused. I always thought it was the girls who scream and run = if we can. I am of the age where sex education had not been approached yet so I thought sex and marriage were synonymous. If I had known better, I would have planned much more for my life.
Yeah, I remember that. First comes love, then comes marriage…I was on the cutting edge of the modern era.
But I was before my time. In third grade on the playground the boys would chase the girls to catch them and in the end the girls all slowed down so they would be caught. But I didn’t. I was a fast runner. I didn’t want to be less than I was. So the boys gave up on me. One boy said - I don’t want to chase her. She won’t let us catch her.
A teacher who was watching the playground called me over and grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me, saying - ‘Why don’t you let them catch you?’ I knew she did that because she didn’t let the boys catch her. She was on leave soon after that with a nervous breakdown.
Now love, marriage + baby carriage isn’t the norm, interestingly.
