^^^ Maybe you should stop smoking weed yourself because that's not how I interpreted what wake up has said. She said back in the days, and she was referring to centuries ago, when people were dying young and were marrying young...
Those two weren't necessarily mutually exclusive, they were just facts of life then and it's not a logic of "if men died early, therefore they have to marry early".
And BTW, you're another one who's way off here. Who called the 24 y/o OP a child? It was mentioned that in comparison to the old lying douche, she is a baby and way more inexperience than him!
Get your facts straight man!

You know how many people would kill someone because they are starving? Is it moral, no, but they do it because of the circumstances of how they were brought into this world.
