It's the law of nature. We're somehow a monolith because we are all humans: we're governed by the same biological and psychological imperatives. It doesn't mean we're clones but we're still for the vast majority of us bound to act in certain predetermined way. Pure individualism is an illusion. We're part of the same specie.
Trying to cling to your youthful years is immature. We're growing up; whether we like it or not. And we must act accordingly. A lot of cats don't want to leave their 20's. Becoming an adult is neither boring nor a choice. It's the reality of life. It's something we have to deal with. We're growing up.
Accordingly to who? Again we all age at different rates, have different life styles and cultures. The fact that you say “‘must act accordingly” shows how parochial you are in your thinking. Who creates these rules we have to apparently abide by?
It’s not about ‘clinging onto your youth’, it’s laughing at the idea that as men, our biological clock are ‘governed’ in a synchronised time scale. Honestly, no disrespect, but your thought pattern is what women use to try and get men to settle down when they’re not ready to.
If a man hasn’t got his shyt together by 30, he shouldn’t think of settling down until he does. If a man is in his mid 20s but with his shyt together, he shouldn’t feel obligated to cuff the first woman he sees as a potential wife.
Btw, a man can still be fertile in his 70s, so because nature is allowing him to procreate, it doesn’t mean he should. That’s just as crazy as saying as soon as a girl hits puberty, she should act accordingly and get pregnant.
