The thing about breaking up when you get older, you just don't have the steam anymore. "Oh, that's it. I can't start shaving my legs above the knee again."

Boosler jokes that later-life breakups feel less like dramatic heartbreak and more like exhaustion at the prospect of starting over. The punchline about shaving “above the knee” turns dating into a matter of practical upkeep: the routines of grooming and self-presentation that often accompany trying to attract a new partner. By framing the end of a relationship as a reluctance to re-enter that cycle, she satirizes cultural expectations placed on women’s bodies and the labor of “being dateable.” The humor lands because it treats a supposedly momentous event—breaking up—as a weary calculation about time, energy, and bodily maintenance.
