the lifespan ddint drop till about 2000 BC

before 2000 BC it was common to live to be 100

Thats what Scripture says

The thing was this

when we were all farmers and shepherds in the tribes primitive like

I'm so sorry for all the personal details

we could get married as early as we could and have babies

if the chief of the tribe approved

but in the modern world we must have a period of education and financial establishment

which usually takes until about the age of 23 to achieve

if you work hard

See this was much worse in the 1700s

In the 18th Century you werent even allowed to marry unless you had property

or a business

you had to get permission from her family to marry

and no father worth his salt would marry a daughter to a man who owned nothing

so literally you had to live the single celibate life from about age 14 till about 27

till you had enough money to marry

read the Founding Fathers, most of them didnt get married till they were about 25-27 or later

in England it was even worse, alot of men could never get married, because they had no property

So the solution was, you would screw whores when you had nothing

it was a human solution

but this human solution spread diseases

and often a man would come into a marriage at 30 or so with syphillis

Its actually surprising how many men in the 1700s and 1800s had syphillis

and gohnnorea

i cant spell

I can't wait to go to church this sunday

I want to be clean again

@MatthewHeimbach

Dew it

You read some of that?

@CatoHostilius hell yeah

about how men in the 1700s had to wait years for marriage

and 1800s

somewhat as well

It was noted in England that men could marry much sooner in America than in England

because in England, if you married young you starved

but a downside of marrying later

was most kids didnt have a living father

when they were grown
