"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” -- "The Great Gatsby"
I am sorry your experience with men is so dreadful. In my youth I was drunk a number of times. In my youth I did all sorts of stupid stuff. Never did I assault or impose myself on anybody, especially a woman. Frankly, out of a few hundred fraternity brothers only a few did that.
Every man out there (if they’re being honest) is reading this Graham Platner story and thinking: “gee, what would happen if the biggest newspaper in the country interviewed all of my exes and asked them about our drunken fights?”
That’s why this story ultimately won’t land. It won’t end Platner’s campaign
@SouthernKeeks Given Trump’s abysmal polling Maine should have been a pick up for the Democrats, but they nominated the creepiest guy around and Collins will likely prevail for which we should be thankful.
@Zigmanfreud One of my best friends growing up was a girl a year younger than me. We remained friends. We never were tempted to hook up though at a certain age that would not have been problematic. In any event we were just friends. Tell them to F off.
@SouthernKeeks I have two daughters just about your age. I spent a lot more on their weddings here in Kentucky than what the average is today. I felt like I got a good deal. 😝
@Zigmanfreud You will need more than prayers John. She is too pretty. You will need a boatload of resilience and wisdom to pick your battles carefully.
@Guy2Plain@Zigmanfreud Actually, I have very much so. I have receipts in local media. It has been a while since I retired in 2019, but every politician in this city and any politician of consequence in the state when I was active knew me. Many still do.
