>Who said I was picky?
You mean even ugly women reject you? Be clear.
>And no, he was fucking some hotties in his later years.
Some 'hotties' by 90s standards doesn't mean he fucked hotties all his life. He knew his limits and mostly fucked ugly women.

binging his poems will paint a picture of a true american
unfulfilled, miserable, ambitious enough to want a good fuck even though he's given up on love
