My ‘Sex and the City’ Girlfriends Have a Question About Sex

My answer is the same as it was in high school.

My Sex and the City girlfriends have a question. I guess it’s a fair ask. But before I get to that question, I’ll preface this piece with something I routinely say.

“One of the easiest things about dating after divorce, explains the most difficult.”

You know what I’m alluding to.

Here’s a clue.

It’s a three-letter word that will make some men do, and say anything. Sex is the easiest aspect of dating after divorce. Men and women can undoubtedly find someone to hook up with.

It’s a no-brainer.

It explains the most difficult part of dating after divorce too.

How do you meet a man who wants a meaningful relationship?

“It’s not easy,” I say to my friend.

“It’s because we’re setting the bar higher,” she says.

“I know,” I say. “But who knew it would be this hard to find a good guy.”

We aren’t interested in the three-letter guys.

But to each their own.

Grown adults make the decision that’s best for them.
