The Peter Pan Myth: The Real Reason Men Won’t Settle Down
The article states, “To succeed with women, the SYM has had to rediscover his inner asshole.” As sad as it may seem this statement is true. While most women say they want a man to be a good man she contradicts herself by going after the asshole. I am guilty as charged!!! I think it all stems from a lack of self-confidence. A woman thinks she will make herself feel better by “fixing” a man. I have found my self-confidence, later in life after a few failed marriages; I am now only dating good men and it feels great to have a man hold the door for me and treat me like a lady. I also know that both men and women think another person will make them happy…wrong, we must first be happy with ourselves. When two people marry, no matter what their age, if they aren’t happy with themselves they will never be happy and blame it on the other. We need to realize that the only expectation one should have of a spouse is fidelity and respect. We also need to realize that we can’t change someone else; therefore, we should take a lot of time getting to know the person before jumping in the bed. Men and women are different, our brains are wired differently, we should acknowledge that and accept that.
My son is getting married this summer, he’ll be 23 and she will be 22. This was the advice I gave him. First advice, though, was to wait until he was 30 since we change so much in our 20′s.
