I’m a healthy outdoorsy athletic woman, never touched drugs or alcohol or junk food, a lifestyle which is intentional & ESSENTIAL criteria I work hard for.

So WHY the only men who approach me with amorous intentions are unhealthy, cigarette, alcohol, junk food men??

Update: Thank you for your thoughtful responses & the humorous ones too. I upvoted my favorites & laughed at the funnies and you’ve given me plenty to think about & work on.

    Drugs cost money and make people addicted and act like idiots and ruin lives. Why would any intelligent person do that to themselves? Addiction runs in my family and it killed my dad & grandpa & cousin. No. I will not try drugs.

      Very bible belt take with the generic “the drugs” there but good on you for sticking to it just tone down the generalizations

        I have a drug enthusiast friend 10 years younger than me who looks & feels 20 years older than me because drugs really age a person. He said, and I quote, “By all metrics you are younger & healthier than I am.”

          Lmao you keep talking like there’s a singular “the drug” you take. Are you 12 or something?

      For me the most frightening aspect of drugs is not being my true self and not being 100% in control. I see it all the times when friends do them. While it is funny for me to spend time with them in that state, I would never want to be in that state myself. I do imitate drunkness and lower inhibitions to fit into the environment. Nobody takes any issue with me being sober then.

        You think you are being 100% in control? Drugs are often primarily spiritual by helping people realize that you’re never in some mystical 100% control state, it doesn’t exist.

          100% control was not meant literally. I recognize that 100% control might be unachievable. Sleep deprivation and many other factors can also reduce “control” which is equally undesirable in my opinion. Also true self might be a little loaded but I see it that way. You are free to interpret true self differently!

      addictions normally come from a lack of social support/means to support oneselves. it’s generally only when you’re specifically using the drugs as an escapism tool (even moreso, if used unconsciously as an escapist tool) that they land you with an “addiction”). they are otherwise just a cool thing to do every once and awhile because reality can’t dull now and then. (also, always test your shit…obviously)

      except coke and opoids, them shits is addictive.
