>>13339530>stuck giving yourself to used and damaged womenI chose this one, but with a caveat.
I went after older women who already had their shit together. They had a job, car, money. Specifically they either had moderate liquid wealth or owned property and/or investments. Ended up marrying one who is almost 20 years older than me.
Being with someone younger makes her self esteem go through the roof and in return she tries to be a decent wife despite decades of baggage with already adult kids and divorces. Her kids are still younger than I am, but it's like five years at best so the gap is miniscule, admittedly.
Since I was never really able to secure what I wanted due to mass degeneracy I'm damn sure getting an investment in my own future instead. I'll never have kids of my own, unfortunately, but hopefully I'll be able to secure something I can give to somebody else who can escape this age.
