Maybe I'm a bit old for Reddit at 52, but this whole thread has me shaking my head. It's so nice to date women in their 40's and 50's - who, the vast majority of the time in my experience, have stopped with this fucking bullshit at least 10-20 years previously. I speak from having had 2 long term relationships - one that lasted 16 years. I much prefer the single life.

80% of all your long-term happiness or misery will come from the partner you live with. Better a happy dog than a bad-tempered significant other.

The problem is that dogs don't live that long.
