[KG]

5. still can't grow a decent beard, but in my dotage my ears and nose have become impenetrable jungles

6. I know what you mean...

I've lost most of the hair on my head, but my ear hair grows like crazy. I think all the active follicles have drifted south.

10. I stopped searching when I turned 36. As promised, it began searching me out.

With pathetic results:

An office stalker (ugly, creepy, married with 3 kids)
a harassing boss (moving in with his girlfriend; thought he'd use me to keep her in line)
a toothless, juvenile registered sex offender
a brain-damaged, alcoholic, divorced janitor

None of whom seemed to be acquainted with the word "No" or just basic common decency.

16. I've seen first hand what giving up on love late in life looks like.

It's not pretty. Keep trying.
