Also: The people don’t change. The pool of people your age that you could meet doesn’t change, it only gets smaller.
Finally, a banger shower thought. But now I’ve got an existencial crisis lol.
I mean this makes sense. It’s not unlike trying to grow your hair long. If one falls out it’s not like the new growth is going to be that long immediately.
So if someone my age dies, it’s not like a new 53 yo dude just pops into existence.
But yes still kinda depressing
People almost always change over time. It’s why divorces happen over “where’s the girl/guy I married”? They don’t exist anymore, they’ve grown and adapted to life around them.
I see “your age” similar to the dating pool. It grows the older you get. When I was young my brother and his friends were incredibly old. But nowadays they are “my age”. I mean, my wife was literally born four days after my brother. That alone increased “my age”.
And when I look at the other parents I meet at my kid’s schools “my age” is an even bigger group. Add hobbies to that and it’s off the chart.
What about the amount of single moms in my area?
I know this was the thing online ads always told you, together with “a Russian bride is waiting for you” and all that jazz.
Do ads still say that by default? As in, when they have zero tracking information?
Yeah, but today is always the first day of the rest of your life.
Or the last.
Yeah, but that happens only once per person, whilst the other one happens every day.
