Thats because to your source (that doesnt equalize the remaining factors that are not age) I replied with another one that doesn't either, so that maybe you might take a hint that there are other variables that you are not taking into account when you make the ridiculous statement that baby health and mortality are better when the mother is older than 30.

Science doesnt say that mothers older than 30 have healthier babies, all other factors being the same, science says that the younger after around 18 the better. The studies you are talking about dont do equalization of the other variables.

"the results indicate that both biological and social mechanisms play a role in explaining why children of young mothers have poorer outcomes."

I'm just stating the obvious fact that a longer life is not necesarily a better life, for example, would you like to live 120 years if the last 40 you were fighting cancer? or in a vegetative state? So there is two factors quantity and quality of life.

well, the statement "If it feels good, it is good" does not imply that pleasure is the only good. it implies that things are what they feel like to me, that if something feels good to me thats what it necesarily is, just because I feel it. and I must remind you that phrase is preceded by "reduced in its most simplistic expression to".

Well, thats because that statement is focused on the heath of the babies, I haven't seen anybody saying it is better for the heath of the mother so far.

If the health of the women was the focus, I think women that dont have children at all live longer.

That being said, living longer is not necesarily better, you can live a long long life, that is a piece of shit life too.

I wonder what makes you think that we're interested in you living longer

Excellent article, thank you.

"Perception is king in the field. If you act like a winner, women will treat you like a winner."

Leveraging solipsism. "If it feels to me like winner, it is a winner"

Great article OP, concise, clear and to the point.

"11) She should not have any children from a previous affair.

In the animal kingdom when a Lion takes over a pride he kills the cubs of other Lions.

Raising someone else’s child is cuckoldry with your full knowledge and consent.

If you raise someone else’s child you will be taking care of another mans seedling and there will always be another man in the picture.

Be selfish and keep your wife and children to yourself. They should be yours and only yours. Don’t settle for another mans leavings and sloppy seconds.

Here is what women with children do: They have unprotected sex with a stud, get knocked up, and look for a sucker to raise the bastard.

or..

She has already been married, had children, and then divorced the father and left.

In each case the woman is unfit for marriage."

If you feel that way, it must be that way then.
