[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give it a few months. No one will care where kids go. It’s a moment where everyone wants to show off. Your kid will be fine and so will you. [/quote]

This is such a negative response. College is where you will spend the next four years, where you make lifelong friendships, where you may meet your spouse. It is not just to show off.

I often have this feeling that people are not happy for me. I don’t want to say they are jealous but they don’t seem happy for my wins.[/quote]

Who in the world meets their spouse in college? You’re 18-22 years old. Barely out of the teen years![/quote]

You are advising your kid poorly if you tell them to wait. Much harder to meet a spouse “organically” once out of college/grad school. You will never be around such a large group of compatible potential spouses as when you’re in college. (After that it’s pretty much go on the apps, ugh.)[/quote]

Dating apps have significantly higher divorce rates and women in particular are extremely dissatisfied with marriages from dating apps because the dating apps highlight the man's physical characteristics, and it turns out that a man's height is not the secret to a woman's long term happiness.[/quote]
