yes!! I've been campaigning to bring back just a little bit of mess – nonchalance and polished interactions are OUT.

I often think about that guy in that club in London who knew all the moves to Smooth Criminal. We executed the perfect choreography together (back when it was okay to still like MJ) and then we made out for like 45 mins. It was hot. I feel like this doesn't happen these days.

I’m 36, and my early 20s were all dfms. Some truly terrible decisions happened — but so did some of my fondest memories of being young and slightly wild. I have long Covid now — and thus a lackluster immune system — and what I miss most is being tipsy in a packed bar with my friends. The energy of the crowd, our tipsy contagious laughing while trying each others’ drinks.

Nobody can convince me there's anything more exciting in this world than a dfm with a boy whose name you don't know. Love!

Love this (from a Londoner who feels similarly about the dating scene here! Maybe it’s a homogenised big city phenomenon?)!

Are you an extrovert?

Opinionated's avatar

extrovert is just someone who gains energy from someone else, so “extroverted introvert” sounds contradictory. but I understand what you mean

Expand full comment
emily north's avatar

totally- i am an outgoing introvert who really enjoys the company of others while still gaining majority of energy by being alone :)
