I think one of the reasons men have the mindset of “I just wanna live my life/enjoy my freedom before I settle down/get married” more than women do is b/c theyre raised to just enjoy life & be selfish. Whereas women were raised to put others before herself & be selfless early on

Therefore, because women and men are raised differently, marriage doesn’t scare a lot of women because she’s already used to compromising, nurturing, being selfless, etc. But with men it takes a little longer because they have to outgrow that selfish “it’s all about me” mentality

Which is why the majority of the time, if you ask a young guy why he’s a deadbeat father, he’ll say “I didn’t want a kidhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (medium skin tone)">” Because they wanted to continue to live the “self pleasing” life they lived while aborting all responsibilities that involved any other human being.

Now I know this thread is sounding real feminist lol. But I promise it’s not. Both men and women have a lot of growing up to do. However, men tend to wait until they’re well into adulthood to decide to grow up and be a man. We gotta change that.

Us Queens are waiting on our Kings and we need y’all to be Kings when we meet y’all... not 3-5-10 years later. We need you to bring more to the table cause of right now, most of y’all can’t even BUILD the table let alone contribute to the items placed on it. Get it together.

Do you know how much the world needs REAL MEN? It’s a shortage. We need for y’all to step up to the plate and become the men that God created for you to be
