I'm not sure how that relates. I'm saying that it's obvious that reddit is full of teenagers because the standard advice to any sort of relationship problem is "break up".

"My boyfriend is wonderful but his feet smell" "oh my God dump that stinky-ass clown".

Ah, just making the point that the questions don't occur in a vacuum. By the time something's bad enough to consult random strangers on Reddit the problem has sometimes escalated beyond the point. Often the "dump him" answers come with people also sharing their own life experience. (I've seen my share of the silly questions/answers too of course.)

Oh, I see what you mean. No, I've seen perfectly normal problems ("my girlfriend has different preferences in bed") elicit those same responses.

Basically, instead of "communicate with your partner", everyone defaults to "get a new one".
