god bless all the idiot early-20s girls dating mid-30s guys who post on /r/relationships, AITA, etc. kinda feel bad for any non-scumbag 36-year-old guy dating a 22-year-old (conceivably must exist) because nobody believes that you're a good dude lol

This age gap is totally normal if you hadn't had much previous luck with women (for whatever reason) but want 5+ kids, imo

Depends on the age and maturity of the younger. 40 and 28 isn’t so weird. 22? Yeah. Though in my experience they often both know what they are getting into.

concur except for this part: > they often both know what they are getting into. people in their early 20s rarely know what they're getting into simply because they haven't been adults long enough

all societies have a solution to "lack of direct knowledge means no knowledge" (the problem of animals) the solution is cultural knowledge / norms if people in their early 20s do not know utterly fucking basic facts about reality, it's because they choose not to listen

> if people in their early 20s do not know utterly fucking basic facts about reality, it's because they choose not to listen I don't think it's that simple to "choose" to understand something that you don't understand

teaching is not as simple as telling, and learning is not as simple as hearing

so I guess part of what I'm getting at it "learning (conscious understanding) is not required".

with love, I don't follow rules unless they have these two properties: 1) consequences exceed costs that I'm willing to pay (my parents were hamstrung here, because there's a limit to how much you can lock down your kid's life) 2) they make sense *to me* and I agree with them

I take this as given. My two counter arguments ("advice to a Young ____") are (a) your perception of the costs is not identical to the actual costs, and costs have a long tail, (b) refusing to obey conclusions derived from thousands or millions of previous test cases is r*tarded
