I have to hope it is. I've never considered myself a goddess, but many of the traits you speak of ring true for me. And as you say, I'm still searching for someone I'm attracted to, respect and admire who sees and values these traits in me as you do and wants to grow and build a relationship together.

I paused when I read the part here about getting to know someone, then finding them to be too whatever and wonder if I've written some men off too fast. But I'm trying to trust my gut. I don't want to settle, but I also know no one is perfect.

Thanks for seeing us 50+ gals the way you do and sharing this story. It gives me hope!
