This explains some things. For a while, girls told me things like, "Don't tell others about us, I don't want to deal with the gossip," "Let's just keep things light," "Why don't you ask _____ out? She seems your type," and of course, "I don't think you're ever going to get married." These were women whom I was dating - or fucking.
And....I was a local musician, freelancing instead of an executive (gotta take those mini retirements), hopping the world, moving place to place every 6 months, and probably many other indicators I had no clue I was emitting.
But I dressed well.
