So tired of people posting stuff on social media that they have no clue about. If we would listen more, talk less, seek understanding more and judge less… the world might be a better place.

Dating bio-funny draft
So, you think you want to date me? This is the unhinged, no fluff bio. Read on.
I am a crazy single mom of 6 children. Yes, I birthed them all and have the curvy body to prove it
If you have an issue with the Alphabet Mafia, therapy or mental illness. Find someone else. We are diverse, inclusive and fluid. We talk a lot about mental health. If you are the least bit uncomfy, my children will chew you up and spit you out like cheap bubble gum.
I am an RN and you will undoubtedly ask me about medical crap. I’m fine with that, but I am a NURSE so don’t try to “wow me” with your WebMD prowess.
I have an unshakable faith in Jesus. I operate from love as my starting point. If you don’t know and love Jesus, then move along. The eyes we see the world with are too different.
If you think that because I’m 50, traditional gender roles are still a thing .. think again. Buddy, I’ve raised 6 children and 2 husbands. If you can’t cook, clean and contribute to the home, you’re gonna want to keep walking.
Oh? You have kids? I am happy to be a role model and love them as my own, but I will always respect their momma even if my private assessment of her is subhuman. Kids need to be free to make their own assessment about their parents.
Speaking of kids, mine will respect you because of me. You will need to make your own relationship with them if you want them to like you. I expect the SAME from your kids.
When I said I’m crazy, I meant that depression is a “thing” for me. I slay that demon almost every day. Some days I’m just too tired. Those are the days I’ll need you to give me grace.
You have mental illness too? Tell me how I can support you. I can give as much grace to you as you do to me. However, I will never make excuses for you, so you need to be responsible for your triggers. And, if you have EVER raised a hand against someone you love, there’s a special place in hell for you. Keep moving junior.
You like to exercise? Super! I’m so happy you want to take care of your body. Exercise is not a thing for me these days, but I’m glad to cheer you on. Do not guilt trip me about not exercising. You will not win
Hobbies? Awesome! I love that you have things that you’re passionate about. I have them too. It’s important to keep doing them. Just be as respectful of our time as you are with your own time.
I hope you have good friends who are solid in character. I want you to be able to keep and grow them, just as I expect the same from you about my friends. Friendships are important.
One more item. Happiness is not found in another person. You have to be able to be happy without me. I should be an addition to the happy in your life, just like you will be an addition to the happy in mine.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Michelle
Dating
So it’s funny everybody and I mean everybody complains about dating later in life. Like, you get divorced and all of a sudden you’re set afloat in a sea of whatever kind of fish you want to call it… some people call it catfish, some people just call it.
I think that dating later in life is hard because rather than just taking things for face value, like you do in your twenties and even early thirties, now it’s more like filling out a job application.
What were your last relationships like? What did you do in your last relationships that were the most challenging? How much baggage do you have from your childhood? Are you still raising children??
I think all of these come down to expectations. We expect certain things when we’re older that we didn’t expect when we were younger. Now we have the conversation about children, family, money etc, up front. Before you didn’t have to worry so much about that because you didn’t have any past to speak of… is it truly easier now?
To see the chemistry between the 2 of you, to see a person’s heart rather than the superficial facade that they put on like a job interview? What happened to this concept of just being human instead of placing expectations on this relationship based on your idea of what a ” healthy relationship” should look like?
It would seem that those moments of truly seeing someone and allowing yourself to be seen may be so hard fought for that you forget where all this is going
