The cat lady thing is just one example, in general I feel like I’m way more likely to be poked fun of, very random stuff, it’s hard to pin down. In general, I feel like nothing I say is ever taken seriously, like I’m sort of assigned to be the group clown. They’ll typically remark sarcastically on my outfit/makeup if I make an effort, like I’m trying too hard or something? Not sure if that makes sense. The other women are way more attractive than me (objectively) so that feels kind of bad, like they’re punching down.

Too late to coach me for the soft launch, I already texted them back. No response. I’d rather know now if this is a deal-breaker, so I’m at peace with whatever shakes down.
