What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.

So, when you turn 18 and leave the nest and go to college, the guy will now be 24 and your peer / social group is going to undergo an evolution and grow. Now, that 23 turned 24yr old working a menial job is not as hot shit as he was when you were in high school. Similarly, you will become more mature and grow as a person. Your college peer and social group is going to regard him as sub-optimal. I mean, why are you going to college and accruing $100K+ debt in student loans to end up with a guy who makes a little more than minimum wage?

Women often select men who are seen as high value especially in their peer and social group.

But the reality is that any 23 yr old man who is rocking the cradle and dating a 17yr old is a loser. His 23yr old peers all look down at him as being pathetic, I mean, come on dude you can only date a 17 yr old child in school? It is highly doubtful the 23yr old has a college degree. I’m going to assume he does not and he is working at Starbucks or stocking shelves at Walmart.

Do humans know everything they need to know?

When you are a 17yr old girl and you are dating a 23 yr old guy, that guy by simple virtue of being an adult means he will be at the top of your social and peer group. You are lauded as being “mature” and the envy of all your friends.

Basically, it’s cool dating a 23 yr old while you are in high school, but all of that instantly evaporates once you turn 18 and graduate.

even if you don’t go to college, you are now on your own as an adult he will not be able to make enough to support you and there is a good chance he is living at home or with a friend… So again, he isn’t going to be at the top of your social / peer group anymore.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
