    I know you’re not from the South because down there the first wave of divorces is at about 21 years old with three kids

      And you know they’re not from NYC, LA, or SF - because there are tons of good looking single people over 35.

      Marrying the first person you ever fuck and breeding uncontrollably only to become deeply miserable and unfulfilled in your locked down life is very human and not at all a good idea. Every success story of first love is a random aberration that fuels the myth that this should be the status quo.

      Most people are a lot sluttier than that

      I hate how true this is.

      What’s worse is that many of the people who didn’t fall into that trap have been waiting to responsibly have children later, which I also don’t want. Finding anyone down here that is interested in being child free down here is a challenge and finding someone who doesn’t expect to have a busy life to make up for it is even more difficult.
