Me and my friend have had similar age preferences for years and that was to stick to men our age. I’m 40, she’s 39. People have been telling us for years to date men who were several years older than us. This includes our parents, aunts and uncles, each other’s parents, family friends, church members, etc. she’s even had friends our own age tell her that she should be dating older men (or so she says). I decided to give it try last spring after my same age boyfriend who had two kids and massive debt dumped me for being “too good” for him (I supported his broke ass financially), and I can say my luck changed drastically. Current guy is 55 years old and we both agreed we’re stuck with each other. At the end of summer, I had a party and invited my friend (recently heartbroken about being dumped but a guy our age for a younger girl), my boyfriend, all of his friends and all of their wives LOVED her. Every one of them and myself all thought she was perfect for a friend of theirs who was looking for someone just like her, so we agree to try to fix them up (the friend had met her once before at a charity event we were working). BF’s friend is also 55, retired, financially secure, gets a pension every month, good Christian, still works part time, has his house paid off and is looking for a woman to spoil rotten. So we pitch the idea to his friend, and the friend’s response is “that girl is a catch! She’s a nice girl with a good heart, she’s doing something with her life and she’s ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Yes, please fix me up with her.” I mention it to her and try to convince her to no avail, she won’t date him just because he’s 16 years older than her. I told her she needs to be dating men in their 50’s and early 60’s, not our age. She said NEVER. I told her then that she’s a stubborn asshole who’s throwing away a good guy. Opinions? I want to show this to her to make her realize this is true. Women have been marrying older men for years so it clearly works.

Think about it. Kids are sent to school for 6 hours per day, but if you calculate it up they probably spend an hour per day travelling to classes, an hour for lunch, an hour wasted on nonsense subjects like home economics or such and then being forced to work as fast as the slowest student and unmotivated underpaid overworked teachers who stopped caring a year after they started. Then if you add that kids on average probably travel two hours a day going and coming from school, then add on the two to three hours of homework they have to do every night plus extra weekend homework and studying it's no wonder the education system is failing, kids are doing as much as 60+ hours weeks just at school, they are burned out.

I believe that most kids could be homeschooled for about 3 hours per day maybe 6 days per week and through the summer leaving their time flexible to do other things such as learn music, play sports, go to the gym, go to church volunteer, go swiming, help with household chores, go to museums and not be so worn out all the time. I myself was able to finish school when I was 16 with GCSEs and A Levels and a b- tech. I had a completely better quality of life than the drudergy of high school and peer pressure & toxic bullying environment. No nonsense gender studies and forced discussions on pronouns.
