I'm 28. I am pretty sure there is solid social stats showing women who have less sexual partners and marry younger are happier.
But if what you are saying is true, we have this situation:
1) Don't marry younger women because they haven't lived enough and will eventually divorce you to find themselves
or
2) Don't marry older women because they have had to many relationships/Alpha cock and will be always be unhappy with you because of what they had in previous relationships.
Damn brehs, get married
All the stats are stats, they speak for themselves.
I hope and yearn that they are just generalizations because i want to believe i can find a woman in my age bracket (i'm 30) who isn't ratchet, has her own, solid head on her shoulders (morals, outlook on life, enjoys simple stuff/not overly materialistic, respectufl unto herself and others), educated, genuinely laughs at my corny material, etc. - then that's being realistic, not picky.
My lady friend is 28 and my only concern is what you said, no such much in the alpha dang perspective and such - but as men, whom, at this age and have acquired a certain amount of experience should be able to detect a lot of ratchetness off the bat.
My only gripe is what can/may (will?) happen later, i.e. the inevitable.
I guess its safe to say, expect the unexpected and just try to be resilient when it does.
It's a fukked up reality when somebody you admired so much, a true angel - does something foul and becomes a demon overnight. That shiit is a true uppercut to the gut, leave ya ass miserable, alone and in a rut.
As one who used to be real jaded and gave up on the opposite sex, being bitter was not how i wanted to live my life - i figured, life is all about how you react to it. Avoiding it altogether doesn't make it worth living.
My optimism has gotten me this far. But will it prepare me when shiit hits the fan? Only time will tell - Rolex under oath.
To all my Gems stone family - do like an acrobat...
... and hang in there.
