"This poster is currently 38 years old and got married to his high school sweetheart in 2004. His dating 'advice' may contain misleading, false, or out-of-date information."
He just followed dating advice some 38 year old married guy gave him when he was a kid.

@Humpleupagus @synapsid nobody gave me dating advice when i was a kid other than just "don't date until you're 16" -_-

@beardalaxy @Humpleupagus @synapsid A bunch of fucking faggot boomers in my family and family adjacent repeated the line, "Don't get married and don't have kids." while I was growing up, often to resounding chuckles.
Only later in life did it click just how fucked up and evil that line was.

@Eiswald @Humpleupagus @synapsid yeah i hear that all the time from so many people. "don't get married" and "don't have kids" are supposed to be jokes to them or something but i always have found it kind of disturbing, especially when people say that in front of their spouse and kids.

during the 2020 lockdowns when all the parents had their kids at home, i heard so many of them complaining about how they had to spend more time with their kids WHILE their kids were with them. it's like... you don't think that affects them at all?? fuckin crazy.

@beardalaxy @Humpleupagus @synapsid >especially when people say that in front of their spouse and kids
This. This shit is what really pissed me off later on when I realized that they were effectively saying that my siblings and I were a fucking mistake. That they have buyers remorse and even regret for having created us in the first place.
>complaining about how they had to spend more time with their kids WHILE their kids were with them
These assholes have children but I can't even find a wife. jfc

@Eiswald @Humpleupagus @synapsid i try to rest easy knowing that i'd rather be alone than have a wife like that in a failing marriage like the majority of the adults in my family.

@beardalaxy @Humpleupagus @synapsid I can't imagine viewing my offspring as a burden or with regret or lamenting that I have to spend time with or around them at all. Before boomer politique infected the White zeitgeist every generation wanted to build a better future for their children. My intention is a return to tradition.

@Eiswald @Humpleupagus @synapsid i know man, i'd be hugging my kids and wife and telling them how much i love them every single day. people are pretty wack.

My dad always said there are two things to know about life....

1. Everyone makes it through life.

2. You can't wait until you have money to have kids. Poor people have kids and they still make it through. See No. 1.
@Humpleupagus @beardalaxy @synapsid Your father's a wise man. One of the other lines we were sold on was 'not being able to afford children' and the magical number when you can afford children was never defined, likely because it was never meant to be defined.
Plus, it's a snare. They've set up the system to keep certain people from having kids, particularly the White Middle Class, while making them believe it's their choice based on economic considerations.
@Humpleupagus @beardalaxy @synapsid Meanwhile Shaqueefa Johnson over in Section 8 shits out 14 tar babies that eat for 'free' on your tax dollars.
And those aren't the people that any sane society would want multiplying.
In all seriousness, I want everyone to get married to a good man or woman, have lots of children, and be happy. It's a wonderful thing. It takes two to make it happen though, and they both have to allow it to. And love is an easy thing to mess up. It's very delicate. If you find it, tend to it. Don't let it die. Life isn't long, and you grow old quick. You'll want someone there by your side when you're older. Don't let the trappings of youth lead you astray.
Quite strange to see a lawyer of all people encouraging love and family
Spending time with the little one now, 😁
We're about to have bath time ☺️
Pretty fun day 😀
I hope that's my tomorrow. I was on the phone all afternoon dealing with a matter. Then had to draft an opinion letter respecting it, and then had to catch up on other work I intended to get done before the phone rang. I worked until 11pm. 😭
I'm off work till mid January, just gotta make the most of it when you can.
Dad has to support the family
Back to bath time
That sounds pretty horrible by the way. You got to do what you got to do
