Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Foreign.
[00:00:04] Hi there, this is Tracy. Welcome to flirting after 40.
[00:00:08] I don't want to keep you guys in suspense.
[00:00:11] There was no love found in Disney World.
[00:00:15] I'm sure you're not surprised I just returned. Hence, I apologize for the late dropping of this podcast from Disney world with my two boys, ages 10 and 13 by myself.
[00:00:34] And I'm exhausted and that's putting it very mildly.
[00:00:43] It was a, an amazing trip for my younger one. It will be like, I think probably his best trip of his life for now, you know, and he was such a joy to be around. And then I had my older son who it felt like he was out to just destroy it.
[00:01:12] And so that was really, really hard. But yeah, there was no love found and I can't blame anybody. I mean, who would want to meet a woman that is like screaming at her six foot tall child in the middle of the Toy Story Land because he's being an absolute dick.
[00:01:41] Nothing says love like that or I want to get to know you.
[00:01:47] I did ride a ride with man.
[00:01:51] He didn't smile once we rode the Slinky Dog ride together because my kids were in the front and I was in the back of the ride and he was a solo rider.
[00:02:05] That was as close as I got to meeting anyone and not even a hello or enjoy the ride or just stone cold stare.
[00:02:18] A roller coaster. Which, that wouldn't be my type of person either.
[00:02:24] Oh, you guys. It was really hard and I don't know if it would have been harder with someone or without someone.
[00:02:34] So I think back to like when I was married and how like we would travel with the kids and it was always, I felt like he was, I had to manage his mood too. Like he would get in a bad mood and then that would get the kids in a bad mood and then I had to like manage everybody. So I'm kind of thinking that doing the solo was better. But it would be really nice to have a partner that is a partner and could take on their fair share of accountability and responsibility when traveling.
[00:03:19] Now I don't think I'm going to have that now ever again with my kids because I would never expect somebody that I'm dating to take that role for them.
[00:03:29] But it would have been nice back in the day.
[00:03:35] I'm also not sure why and I'm going to probably get some slack for this, like why Disney World is the happiest place on Earth because everybody seemed not happy.
[00:03:48] Like everybody was happy on the rides or right after the rides or when they got an ice cream or a toy or something. But there was so much like parents just yelling at kids and kids screaming and kids crying and like, I don't know why people do this. And I can't believe, like I'm, I'm kind of glad my kids were older because I didn't have to deal with the temper tantrums kind of, you know, that, that phase of, of childhood.
[00:04:24] But you know, my 13 year old was really, just really, really awful. And everything that he was unhappy about was my fault. And even my little one had, was like trying to defend me. Like mom didn't do anything. It, it just turned into this kind of toxic, explosive trip. And I mean, it's my fault. Like I created this monster and I'm just trying to figure out how to fix it.
[00:05:09] And you know, when you're on vacation with kids you don't like. I didn't want to punish him or like the way that I normally would have, but I probably should have because I wanted my little one to be able to still enjoy himself. And he is very sensitive if I, I'm yelling at his brother too.
[00:05:35] Yeah, I'm just really glad to be home.
[00:05:39] So this might be really short because I don't have any, I don't have any stories. I was not online. I was online a little bit, you know, before I went, but I was totally off the grid. The dating grid. I.
[00:05:57] Yeah. And like I said, I, I didn't meet anyone. Also, if you're going to, you know, think you're going to Disney World to meet men, just know you're not because.
[00:06:08] And I don't blame them, there's no like groups of single men there together.
[00:06:13] It, There was groups of gay men together and there was groups of single women together and then there was families.
[00:06:22] I don't even think I saw a single dad with kids by himself.
[00:06:29] Like, I don't think, I mean, and men, you can correct me, I'm sure there's some of you that would be great at this.
[00:06:37] To have a man without a woman take or partner take kids to Disney World. I just, I didn't see it and I don't see it like, I don't know that they're brave enough or stupid enough.
[00:06:54] I'm a little delusional, I suppose, and believe that like it will be this great thing. And it was for the most part, minus my one son.
[00:07:06] So yeah, there was no bonding over our kids throwing fits or smiling on the monorail.
[00:07:18] So not the place I would go in search of love.
[00:07:26] I did get, I did get blown a kiss by Donald Duck. So, you know, like, that's the most action I got.
[00:07:38] All right, so I'm not going to waste your time because I don't have any stories for you guys, but I do have a couple funnies from before, before I left that I think, I think you guys will find entertaining. Well, this one, funny. I belong to this group and I'll talk about it more at some point, but the burned haystack dating method that my friend Karen suggested I listen to. But this, this person actually posted what would shock me in a good way about a new partner. And he responds, if she could cook, pack me a lunch, fold laundry, maybe tell me when I'm almost out of something and make sure I pay my bills on time.
[00:08:28] Are you kidding me? You had a mom. Like, I don't want to be your mom.
[00:08:33] Like somebody's actually looking for that and is willing to say publicly that's what they're looking for. All right. For some reason on my Facebook, I am now getting all the. I'm seeing all these posts from homesteading for singles. I don't have a homestead.
[00:08:51] I don't know. So I have no idea why. And I'm not really interested in homesteading.
[00:08:56] I don't really know why I'm seeing all these. But.
[00:09:00] And bear with me, this guy, this is pretty long. I. I might not read it all for you guys, but this Guy says he's 46, never married, no kids, successful entrepreneur, real estate investor and retired. He's 46 and retired. You guys like, that's amazing. Live on a homestead and have other properties in multiple different states. Always been an athlete and take care of my body, raise and grow most of my own food.
[00:09:28] Grow up on the farm, understood. Or grew up on the farm, understood. Chivalry, honor, integrity. Yes, ma' am. And taking care of and protecting my family.
[00:09:37] Handyman and MacGyver skills to build a house, rebuild an engine, or make something out of nothing.
[00:09:43] Okay, so I mean, this sounds good.
[00:09:48] Traditional, conservative, protector provider, positive attitude, always.
[00:09:53] All right, like, conservative. Maybe not for me, but like, this guy sounds good. I believe the masculine and feminine complementing each other. If a woman is not able to melt into her feminine self and know she is cherished, nourished and protected. The man isn't doing his job. I have a very nice life and would.
[00:10:14] And it would be nice to find someone to share it with. Obviously unvaxed and lions, not sheep. High value. Looking for high value. Dating with intention.
[00:10:25] I'm not looking for anyone with a history of addiction, drug abuse, drug alcohol abuse, bad family upbringing, multiple kids out of wet lot, wetlock, don't care for themselves, smoke vape, no career, a bunch of tattoos, take daily meds for problems, inability to control emotions, etc. We would not be a good match.
[00:10:46] I tried posted in another group but nothing except for vicious and spiteful people.
[00:10:53] Okay, just be adult and move along if something isn't for you. So many people hate their lives and poor decisions must be rough. Amazing how many cannot read or follow simple directions and to scroll by.
[00:11:06] Oh well, ignore. Truly ignorance is truly bliss. As the social experiment continues, it provides it proves how ignorant people are.
[00:11:16] Of all the hate mail, the top contenders are single moms with kids out of wedlock, liberals without a brain that thought they voted Common themes Obama, Hillary, Kamala and gay or trans flags, Ukraine flags or COVID vaccine in a mask. Also common green hair, purple hair, orange hair, et cetera.
[00:11:39] Tatted up drug addicts with nothing to offer, married or in a relationship, unhappy in their current situation but have nothing to offer a better person. I should start tagging their spouses Fat out of shape beta males and shrimps that haven't lifted a weight or have good looking women in their whole life because they don't know how to lead.
[00:12:00] Surprisingly a lot of gay or lesbian people that may must not like traditional values because they feel guilty about their own choices.
[00:12:08] Lots of people that have accomplished nothing in their life and are working the counter at a local gas station trying to throw shade. Pretty crazy how many people would have just scrolled by but they're but hate their lives so much that they have to comment on my post.
[00:12:23] Okay, this guy is horrible.
[00:12:27] To all the losers in life that had nothing better to do, I commend you. Not only have you shown your low intelligence but poor decision and lack of ambition in your own life to do something better than you. Also have a huge brought huge traffic to the post increasing the number of good, attractive high value women that have contacted me. Excellent work you guys. What a fucking psycho.
[00:12:52] Like he starts by talking about his integrity and then just beats the out of other people.
[00:13:03] It's fast. It's fascinating what you find on Facebook and maybe this is why I don't have a homestead.
[00:13:13] All right you guys, I am back from vacation. I will be taking it easy while I recoup for a few days and I don't know, it's just been a lot but I will be back on the dating scene here shortly.
[00:13:34] Sorry for the for the late post here and the short, the short episode. But that's how it goes some weeks. So I hope you all have an amazing week and I will talk to you next. Thanks.
