Only now that I am middle-aged, that this thread begins to make more sense.

I have had occasional successes in my 30s, but my hit rate in the last two years went up considerably - despite COVID.

What changed? Well, I went through some personal shit, but came out of it learning to care less what other people think about me. And focussed on improving myself. I have always been confident, but I also had a deeply insecure side and always look for validation from others.

Now, the only validation I want is from myself. And I am not interested in impressing others, least of all another woman, no matter how attractive they are.

Because based on the last two years alone, I am confident that if I want you, I will get you.
