I can relate to some of what you mentioned and absolutely cannot relate to some of it. I totally agree about corruption. There is a lot of it everywhere you go. Yes it’s hard to make a difference. But I refuse to give up. I believe even little things could make a difference. Although I understand what you are saying. I agree there are rude people out there but just as many are quite polite and friendly. I am very selective who I hang out during my free time. Maybe that helps me to avoid nasty people.

I am not sure where you live but I don’t see that every man likes sports or outdoors at all. Plenty I know don’t. Sure many men like thin women, not all though. I never in my life kept my mouth shut and tell it how it’s 24/7. Sure some men like women who aren’t smart and whom they can overpower, but most educated intelligent men prefer strong intelligent women. I am not sure if you are looking in particular circles.

Are these men you are referring to educated? They sound like they are rather primitive if they don’t like smart women or they only like sports and outdoors. Not my kind of men.

I agree with you that many people stuck in bad marriages, not all though.

Things that bring people joy: hobbies. Do you have hobbies? My hobbies bring me immense joy.

Travel? If can’t travel far, Even small two day trips. There are single travel groups in my area.

Reading? I just finished pretty interesting book and am half through the other one. I
Also joined a book club although I have hard time going there between two jobs.

Movies? Good movie is such a joy.

Working out? Zumba and jazzercuse are fun. Frankly I am lazy but when I do go it’s fun.

Do you like to get hair or nails done? Or nice clothes. I know it’s silly but I guess I am vain lol and I enjoy nice or new things. Change your hair style? Decorate your house?

Cooking? (Doesn’t give me that much joy but others love it)

Job? My job brings me joy most of the time. Not all the time of course.

Magazines? I subscribe to a few and I run to the mail box excited to get them. I get them digitally too, but paper copy is just too exciting.

Joining groups? Ive met like minded people through meet up groups. But of course some weren’t interesting. So I dropped those

Museums? If there are any in your area. Not too many where I live but I just got excited that new exhibition starts soon in my local art museum.

Art? Or music? Play/create or just watch/listen?

I can keep going but do any of these things could bring you joy?
