People are feeling all kinds of pressure these days. If they want to have kids they need a lot of resources. But having a lot of resources is really difficult to do when you’re young. So that naturally suggests a compromise: one old with resources and one young with health.

Wait, but I thought men hated "gold diggers"? And also, that's the result of our fucked up late stage capitalism economic system and not how things should work. A young couple should be able to afford to live comfortably and have children if they want.

People make life choices based on how things are, not how they ought to be.

Generally a “gold digger” refers to a young woman who marries an elderly rich man with the intent of gaining a large inheritance, not a young woman who marries an established (but still working) man a few decades her senior with the intent of raising a family. A big “gold digger tell” is that the rich guy already has adult children who end up in a feud with his new young wife (because she represents a threat to their inheritance).

Oh really? I thought it ment a women marring for money in general.

People can do what they want, but women shouldn't have to feel like they have to marry some dude a decade older just to have a decent life and start a family. That's all I'm saying.

Sure, they shouldn’t, but that’s life now. You gotta have a lot of money to have children today.

Some men love gold diggers my uncle is one such man. In his own words "gold digger are the easiest lay".

It's fucked beyond measure

What I mean I've been alive a long time. I'm not sure how I was supposed to accrue resources through that though.

Also who wants to date a 19 year old they'd be really annoying.

Maybe you need to flip the idea and date a rich 19y/o Instead

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The question is “why would anyone want to date someone much younger than them (presumably up to a couple decades)?” not specifically about dating a 19 year old.

Not everyone can accrue a bunch of resources over time of course. But your odds of doing so are much better in your working years than when you’re in school.
