Being a “Deplorable” in Deep Blue Vermont

On a personal note,  over the last four years my life has been turned upside down.  I won’t go into details but whatever anyone may be thinking you’re likely wrong.

I had recently joined an on-line dating service to see if I might be able to meet an honest (XX) woman of appropriate age, intelligence, and pleasing in appearance and demeanor. Someone I could have a stimulating conversation with about anything and everything.

Being that it’s a nationwide service there are hundreds of women to chose from.  The first cut of 90 out of 100 is because of distance,  you just live to far away from each other to make any kind of  “dating” practical. So I try to keep it within fifty miles.

Of course I can be as shallow as the next guy.  I would like to be able to connect with a woman of “nice” physical appearance, intellegence,  and open mindedness. To get aquainted over a cup of coffee and perhaps at the end to decide wither it would be worth it to meet again.

Now out of that remaining 10 out of 100, 7 of 10 are divorced, 2 are widowed and 1 “never married“.

As I read their profiles nearly every one of them starts with a bucket list of all the “fun” things they look forward to doing with that special guy. “Traveling” being #1 by a very wide margin. #2 is the beach. It’s understandable, these women had expected to be doing these activities with their former husbands. Many are professional college educated women and judging by their lifestyles have very expensive tastes. They are looking for successful men of equal or greater value. Needless to say I couldn’t afford any of them, and that’s ok.

Of course the other thing to which I shouldn’t have been surprised is that the vast majority of these women 53-64 years of age and financially well off are “LIBERAL” or “VERY LIBERAL”. These women are so smart they haven’t a clue. which will certainly narrow the field for a deplorable like me.

Some quotes…

“No smoking, No Trump ers”

“Gosh, please don’t be a Trump / conspiracy fan”

“I am liberal in my thinking. I despise Big-Pharma and the current administration”

“I am ‘very’ liberal, a critical thinker”.  (an oxymoron if I ever heard one)

“Respectfully, Trump voters are not welcome.”

  ‘No Trump”

“I’m a very honest person and am looking for the same. I still believe I can find a best friend and lover. If I sound interesting to you send me an email. No Trump supporters, thanks!”

Of course in these troubling times it’s not just relationships that can be stillborn. Whole families are torn apart.  We deplorables attempt to use logic, reason and the truth. They counter with raw unhinged emotion, and hatred.

Sometime in the near future I will be single again, not by choice. How the rest of my life will play out only God knows.  There has to be a few Trump women out there. We shall see.
