Welcome to my world. An altered state of reality in which I sometimes feel as if I am the only one experiencing issues and situations that are ridiculous, funny, frustrating and thought provoking.
Truth be told, us women at times bash men as being dogs but if they are dogs then unfortunately that makes us dog groomers, owners and trainers. Men can only get away with what we allow them to so often times it is us who should shoulder the blame for having men who treat us like chicken back without gravy that has been left out too long so it starts to go bad.
So your friend set you up on a blind date and tells you to have an open mind. Once you hear that it should have been your first indicator that something is amiss and they are trying to prepare you for a mild shock.

You would love to head for the door but common courtesy dictates that you sit through the meal and at least act civilised.

She keeps you fed, clothed and smelling good. She also pays your credit card bills and for your town house. You keep her smiling, satisfied and feeling like she found the proverbial foundation of youth. It is a match made not in heaven but on Tinder because she is not your mother but your mamma…as in sugar mamma.
