Loved your post - I hope congratulations from a weird count.

I have reached 76, but it is not due to age, I've been considered weird ever since I was a kid. Though I am in many ways as you described, I am not lonely, though never married, but I have a friend or two and family who love me - as my niece said to me, "I don't understand you, but I love you like a father."

Maybe I differ from your prototype, in that I am soft and can rarely say 'no'.

Thanks, I enjoyed reading your analysis

(I've sometimes wondered whether a club for weirds would do well, but then I decided it is not likely I'd enjoy having them around me. Maybe just one or two at a time...)
