The distance from the subject isn't what decides your aperture. Think of it this way, if your taking a picture of a car from say the front looking down the side and you want the whole side of the car in focus you need to use a higher fstop. However if you want to highlight a certain part of the car, say the headlight, then use a lower fstop and this will blur the unwanted area of the subject which in this case would be the rear three quarters of the car.
This effect draws in your viewer to the part you want them to see. Don't forget to compensate for the lowered light at higher fstops by using a slower shutter speed.

Thanks for trying to help man!
I swear, i'll understand it all one day.
