I’ve been thinking about this lately, not sure why. It all comes down to being single and seeing no man on the horizon.

Feelings of loneliness definitely overwhelm and my age is certainly a factor. Being single at my age is an issue I deal with on a weekly basis and looking around my bedroom has made me wonder if I’m a woman yet or still a girl.

But what does it take to feel like a woman?

We’re born female. But we aren’t women. We’re toddlers and tweens. But we aren’t women. We’re teenagers and adults. But we aren’t women.

Does feeling like a woman happen in your 20s? Not for me. What about 30s? I’m still in it but I don’t feel like one. What about 40s? 50s? 60s?

I don’t know. Do you?

What does feeling like a woman feel like?

Does it mean feeling mature? Feeling physically mature and of age? Feeling emotionally mature and old? Able to be sexual and be a sexual being?

I don’t fucking know.

I’m heading for 40 and don’t feel sexual. I don’t feel mentally like a woman but if anyone can tell me what it mentally feels like to be a woman then I can figure out if it’s what I’m feeling or not. I certainly don’t feel old mentally, or physically, but is that what it takes to feel like a woman?

Is being single depriving me of feeling like a woman?

Not having a man, and I mean a MAN, not a boy who thinks he’s a man, around is probably depriving me of feeling like a woman.

But then do I need a man to feel like a woman?

Shania Twain’s, MAN I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN, has some interesting lyrics, but they still don’t make me feel like a woman.

So what does it take?

Do different women have different feelings? Well duh, obviously. Maybe I’m missing something. What? I don’t know. Well a man probably but there must be something that will make me feel mature enough to feel like a woman.

Is that what it takes?

Maturity?

Who the fuck really knows, but one thing I do know is that I want and need a man!
