No, no. I am sure there are many others who feel like you.  There are also many others who are not like you.

For example, I would not want to have my kids be interested in dating in HS because I think they can wait till they get into college. I think in HS they should be concentrating on academics.  I do not want them getting into starter relationships because there is no value to it.  50% of US marriages end in divorce. And a majority of marriages have mismatched libido. There is zero benefit of being in a relationship so young. Better to concentrate on your future career so that you have a good life and eventually the aim is to have a very small selective dating pool.

However humans have bounded rationality… they might fall crazy in love and not give a fig about your “very small selective dating pool”. It’s better if it happens when they are young. College isn’t too late, too, but I have seen more than one woman who got married young and then suddenly goes crazy about dating, falls in love with idiots etc - when she is like 35+[/quote]

LOL! They typically have parents like OP, who focus on their kid's cooch/dick instead of  career, health, academics.  In other words, these people have trailer trash mentality and they are socialized into devaluing themselves.  Society is made of all kinds of people. . [/quote]
Which people? Who are “they”?[/quote]
