I'm surprised how my comment resonated with readers. My SIL is a very good hearted person. But there was something instinctive in her that created friction with most men. As she has aged she has generally become less social with everyone. But I don't think she has made a new guy friend in many, many years - her best male friend is a long time neighbor, but she doesn't socialize with him.
My wife was completely opposite. She is very comfortable around men and enjoyed dating, not for any romantic need, but she enjoyed the socializing.
I happened to catch her right when she was wanting to have a more serious relationship. I demonstrated the masculine attributes of being modestly athletic, competitive but fair and of seeking a serious occupation / steady income. Thirty five years we are happily married and best friends.
It amazes me how two sisters can have such different dispositions!
I'm happy for you. I had poor relationships for other reasons until I got some recovery from codependency in my 50s. Life is good now, you always wish you were ready for the message earlier though.
