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.

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?

That particular friend is fond of marijuana & alcohol & cocaine. I was 12 in 1987.
