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.
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.
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
Not all of the kids have to be theirs either.
I didn’t know penguins could marry.
And you know they’re not from NYC, LA, or SF - because there are tons of good looking single people over 35.

Most people are a lot sluttier than that
I hate how true this is.

Southerner here to confirm. I’m 36, graduated in 2004, I know a few people my age with 20 year olds now. 🙄
Did you graduate 2 years early?
2004 was 20 years ago. You’d have been 16
Can get pregnant at 16, math checks out.
