Young men are no longer evolving to be men until they are in their late 20s ( if they are lucky). They stay boys much , much longer, refuse individual responsibility or structure, and think they have an inate wisdom which they must exercise in order to cope.
They have no wisdom, and young ladies will simply evolve to dating much older young men than they are.So do not be surprised to see many more sixteen year old girls wanting to date 24 year old men. Its sure to happen. And unfortunately they are right.
Parents these days do everything they can to retard their boys from growing up.
I don’t think the young women are growing up any faster than the young men. Part of it seems to be that nothing in life seems to be permanent these days, whether it be jobs, careers, or relationships. I really think we have to blame both government and corporate America for not allowing even the best and brightest highly skilled jobs and careers to endure for more than few years. Yes, Globalism is affecting this, and it affects the children, trite as that may sound.
Politicians of both major parties often are often from second and third generation political families, who have never had real world jobs in their life. So the decisions they make often do not favor real world America. Illegal immigration is just one of those out of touch issues.
Another thing that amazes me is that many young women in their late teens and early twenties seem to no longer wear rings, at least not on their fingers! They used to wear one if not many rings on theit fingers to signify that they were in a more than short term relationship.
“Parents these days do everything they can to retard their boys from growing up.”
You are so right. Coddling is destroying these kids-especially the boys.
Parents run to fix every little boo-boo, and the kids don’t learn anything about the trials and errors of life.
Somebody will always wipe away the consequences for them.
