Why just men? Pretty much anyone seeking nature, the outdoors, and some quiet time would like this.

Until sunset, when the big skeeters roll in.

We have day mosquitoes now, even when it’s hot and dry. The brown striped bastards that fucking bite in a row if you don’t catch them.

They arrived 4-5 years ago and now we have to put on bug spray to do practically anything in our yard.

I worry that's why the chair is empty. Someone got carried off by one of the larger mosquitoes.

I defintely know more women that could just sit there and enjoy it than men. Now you add a fishing rod and some cold beers that would level if not completely flip the playing field.
