>>43143427I LOVE cool chicks. Especially the older ones. The ones in in their late 20s who've dated twice in their lives and just figured they could put it off until later. The ones who specifically want to be seen at cafes, bus stops, and malls. Always with sunglasses and enough makeup to look clean, but so little that they look real. They WANT to date, but they're not sure how to initiate, and their jobs and friend circles give them just enough reason to hesitate.
Watching them go into their 30s, it gets even better. As they grow older, the fear sets in. >"Where is he? What did I do wrong?"
Doesn't matter. The fact is, they're single, and their work life and friends will be ever-watchful, poisoning any chance she has of finding her "one", falling in love, getting married, and having kids.
Heck, plenty will turn to casual sex just to get a sense of feeling loved. It doesn't matter. The joy in watching isn't so you can think, "My pure waifu". It's so you can see how fear operates in the long term, and how the lack of a love life and the fear of getting old will crush a person.
My absolute favorite part of this is the point where the mid-life crisis sets in. Aloof no longer, they adopt joyous, quirky personas and attempt to hand with the younger crowd.
>"Your life has only just begun! Go go go!">Still no kids.You know that, when she goes home, she's thinking about how she can get a man at her age. She's looking at her phone, wondering why she's the only one in her friend group who doesn't have kids. She was the only one who followed her friends' advice about romance.
40 hits, and she accepts what's happened. The best she's going to be is "Nana" or "Auntie". She probably already is. She decides to move on with her life, keeping to "Cool Girl" look she had in her late 20s. This is when the show is effectively over. The panic is what made it entertaining. If she just accepts that she's not going to get a husband, there's nothing to watch.
