Why I like being a divorced woman living in New Orleans

This is a 100-word essay topic that my interviewer wrote and is sending me a copy. She also wrote a similar version about New York years ago in the Pleistocene era. She said, “New Orleans is the type of place where women ask men to dance.”

Now didn’t we just come to the grand conclusion that no matter how far we’ve evolved that some things remain the same – in other words, men ask, women answer?

I can’t keep any of these rules straight in my mind – they’re like the Food and Drug Administration – this causes cancer, no it’s good for you, but only if you are an obese male, no wait, further reports confirm that it causes cancer, but only in your feet, if you’re female and never had children.

I might become the Relationship Administration czar – a woman should never pursue a man, unless she’s an assertive woman and he’s a shy man, no wait that causes him to feel like he’s not a man, and then she feels like she’s not a woman, which causes him to feel awkward and act cowardly, then she feels rejected and grows cold, further reports confirm there are many people sitting in front of their televisions alone tonight because they don’t know how to act.
