Jordan Is Just Projecting His Fear Of Singleness Onto You.
I recently did a stitch with a Jordan Peterson clip…you can watch it there. It’s a TikTok link, FYI.
He’s talking about being the oldest person at the frat party, about being 60 and still being a sex object.
It was super ridiculous-sounding because I didn’t even want to go to frat parties when I was in college. I immediately laughed at the idea that I would go to one now, or go to one to look for a date when I’m even older.
Why would I protect my peace for years…only to go to a frat party of all things…in my middle age? But he sounded so sure that that’s what would happen.
This is because Peterson is making this common mistake: He thinks when you’re single, all you’re doing is looking to “fix” your singleness. When in reality, there are so many things you can do. I’m a dancer, a yoga instructor, a writer, I volunteer with animals, I love to swim in the ocean, I’m learning Arabic, I help with my family’s business, I have a full-time job…you get the idea.
None of this involves going to frat parties. I literally don’t even go on dating apps anymore. I’m not trying to date. And yet, there’s still a lot to do. There are so many things in the world to do!
