There are some good takes and then there are takes that are not practical from my perspective.

I won’t go into details but here are some broader generalities.

People here have talked about Legacies.

Other than my parent & stepparent, I have exactly one other close relative in Mississippi— and by that that’s a first cousin.

All my other close relatives live outside the state. And I know what the response will be if and when I approach them— they’d be thinking WT17 are they going to with a family legacy they know nothing about in Mississippi?

People talk about Companionship.

Mississippi women are generally 17ing ignorant when it comes to communication and their expectations when they want to interact with guys like myself who are on the Spectrum.

The women who I’ve dated are not practical.

They expect guys to make decisions on behalf of them with no input from them— which is 17ing ignorant because my mind is hard-wired to prefer informed decisions based on feedback.

So I move on from them.

Companionship is a joke.

I’d rather be Alone than be with someone who doesn’t understand me.

In other words, Companionship is the mistake.

I have no children.

Therefore, I don’t think of Legacies.

I have to think of myself which means that I ultimately think of Retirement as an Exit Strategy.
