Getting relationship advice from the hacker news crowd is like getting vegetarian recipes from a butcher
Personally, I've lived what is pretty close to the highlight of single life (dating on NYC, traveling to 20-30 countries a year, etc) and now am a boring but super happy suburban dad of 2 (and hoping for more) - you don't think someone like me can offer an insight on what works and why?
No, probably not. Whatever your life circumstances are, they're so ridiculously far outside the norm that almost nothing about your life applies to most people's.
This is where you begin to overgeneralize.
