One thing you learn before or shortly after turning thirty is that you should surround yourself with people who make you feel good. The idea of selectivity in relationships at a mature age is a prerequisite for glimpses of illusory happiness.

By letting wrong, frustrated, and bitter personalities into their lives, they consciously reject those who would instead bring a bit of tenderness. Because tenderness sometimes generates repulsion.
And then there are those who seek and find someone who wants to be by their side. They work on the solidity of the relationship in a pseudo-healthy way, and if they had the money, they'd even have a child! What craziness...
