Why I Don’t Write Stories About Love and Relationships.
And what’s going on with Medium’s algorithms?
Today I took a quick look at my Medium feed and wondered what type of vibe I was giving off to see the storied being directed my way. Some of the stuff involved love and relationships. What do I know about that? I’ve been married 46 years. To the same woman. Before I get into the crux of today’s piece, one subject in my feed especially caught my attention.
The article was talking about women burning their bras during the 60s. I wondered why that was brought to my attention. Maybe, because I’m in my 60s, they think I will burn mine. Give it up guys, it’s not happening. But I am going to cut back on carbs.
And now, a disclaimer.
This is not to disparage stories about relationships. Actually, the story I read was well written and had a huge response. Far greater than anything any of my pieces has received. It’s just my thought process is a bit different when I see that type of material. The story talked about women who fall in love with guys who are brilliant, deep, have diverse interests and are introverted. I actually discussed this with my wife. Of 46 years.
