Dear LFTP: the 57-year-old single woman and 'dumb' men
- Why are the men I meet just plain dumb, and how do I find a good one at 57?
A 57-year-old single woman asks why the men she meets are 'just plain dumb' — emotionally unavailable or available but underwhelming in bed. Emma says the woman sounds hard to deal with and defines two kinds of male dumbness (funny teenage dumb vs. can't-hold-a-conversation dumb). The host notes promiscuity attracts the wrong men, the pond and the bait both matter, and the love-and-trust part will fix the rest. Emma, in Dan's chair, adds: get Jesus in the middle of the relationship. The Secular answer suggests men aren't dumb, just socially declining — volunteer, take a class, communicate what she needs.
