She will never be able to afford a house or family with this guy. We don't have money to give her.

I find it odd that you add " thin" to your list. Would you say the same to your son dating someone seven years younger? Leave her be. It's her life, not yours

It’s not odd to mention at all. It’s practically a superpower when dating in your 30s in the U.S. in 2024.

How sad that you think it is a superpower.

Have you seen the typical whales out there?

Ok, PP’s comment is kind of hateful, but seriously the vast majority of people are overweight. It puts you in the top 1/4 if you are slender. We need to stop acting like being fat is attractive. It’s not. It’s not healthy and it doesn’t look healthy and you can’t convince our mammalian brain otherwise through stupid studies that show you can still have good blood work when you are fat.

The “it’s sad you think” PP may wish the world were that way, but it absolutely is a huge step up to not be overweight when dating.

Exactly. And I hate how you describe her body size /looks in telling her to hold out for better.

Disgusting for parents to think of their child’s worth in that way.

Butt out (and focus on whether he is kind, dependable, honest and loves your child! Not whether her choice of a life partner is going to cost you money.) How bad your values are 😩

She’s horny - have you considered her sexual needs?

The men you probably push her towards can’t go 6 rounds a night with 5 minute refractory periods

You sound really immature and inappropriate.

Your bigger problem is that she is in an underpaid office job at 29. She is college educated she should be near the six figure mark by now. Does she have low self esteem? That might explain why she isn’t dating someone her age.

The median salary for a college degree holder in the 25-34 age bracket is around is around 60K or less. Most of them will never make anywhere near the six figure mark.

This data keeps getting bandied about hut it has to be outdated, from 2010 or before (aka the olden days).
