So you got lucky and met your life partner in your early/mid 20s. Why do you think that makes you better than someone who doesn’t meet the right person until they’re 30? I would’ve loved to marry my college BF in a different life, except he cheated on me.

I don’t think I’m “better than” you. I think that people should universally be ready to pick out a mate by 26-29, and actively be looking for that, rather than indulging in prolonged adolescence.

26 to 29 is late and already a shallow dating pool full of leftovers and baggage. Teens and college-aged young adults should be mindful of who they socialize with and date. Marrying a high school sweetheart is not weird or small-minded, it’s incredibly pure and romantic. Same for marrying that classmate you met during welcome week of college or in a study group your third year. Teach your children to take friendships and relationships seriously very early on. Value their reputation. Don’t treat dating like it’s an app carelessly swiping and discarding. Set a goal that you’d like to marry soon after college and don’t waste time with non-serious men or women. Men and women lacked this goal because it wasn’t seen as cool by pop culture. With celebs like Sofia marrying so young, young adults [now] have cool and gorgeous celebs to mirror.

If you have a daughter, I feel for her- probably sleeping with whoever because you've taught her her only purpose in life is to breed ASAP.

What precisely is incorrect in or do you disagree with in the previous post?

Well, the majority of it, but mostly saying marrying a high school sweetheart is ‘pure and romantic’ (you could start dating a high school sweetheart at 14?) and the portion about setting a goal to marry after college. Marriage isn’t a goal and I’m sorry if that’s all you aspire for your kids to do.

This is a college-educated white collar professional message board based in one of the most educated cities in the world. The women here and their daughters date college-educated white collar men, not unemployed dope dealers who will become deadbeat dads.

We were at a high school sweetheart wedding last summer. Both from fairly well-off families. Both went away to different universities. They had been together since 10th grade, married by age 23. Very attractive couple, both very outgoing. I’ll stick with pure and romantic. Lots of tears of joy in that wedding crowd because young love is in fact beautiful.
