First of all, advanced apes (TAA), thank you for using the #grrlski tag. I think you totally get it. I assume by using it, you were looking for a woman's perspective on the article. There is some misunderstanding about the tag --

Note: it is not that a grrlski-tagged article might be of interest to women, but that the poster might want to see what grrls think. I think you understand that. However some writers in the discussion over here might have seen it differently.

I agree with humanodon. The writer is trying to say something cautionary to daters or trying to put down someone she dated or trying to boost up her own self-esteem by writing something about how amazing and independent she is. She actually does sound amazing and independent having figured out a way to work around the world Good on her.

There's a parallel one called Don't Date a Boy Who Travels by a boy that I didn't read but on first glance seems almost identical. Clearly either one was first and the other was a response. I don't care. Date whoever you like, especially you TAA. If the universe can make an advanced ape with your unique qualities, the universe can make someone for you. She might travel.

She will never need you.

This is nonsense. We all need one another. "She" and "you" need to find someone able to deliver the needed things. It might not be pitching a tent, but it will be something.
