When the Algorithm Erases You
What do you do when the world decides you're no longer relevant? When the mortgage algorithm rejects you-not for lack of money, but because you're female, single, self-employed, and over fifty? This is the jarring reality that kicks off a journey back into dating after decades of marriage. After a dog's death, a divorce, and that algorithmic slap in the face, retreating to the countryside with two poodles seemed like the perfect escape. No men, no sex, no drama-just writing, riding horses, and genuine contentment in the silence. But life rarely lets us stay comfortable. A chance to profit from selling a Manhattan apartment pulls you back to the city, this time to a modest one-bedroom. Suddenly, old friends resurface-each carrying their own wreckage from failed marriages and relationships. There's Queenie, the former it-girl now divorced with a baby. Kitty, whose picture-perfect marriage ended with drunken divorce papers. Tilda Tia, fresh from ending a twelve-year relationship in France. Together, this collection of middle-aged women forms an unlikely tribe, ready to answer an uncomfortable question: Is there still sex in the city when you're no longer the ingenue?
