Yep that's exactly what would be expected, when theyre young and given the "peak validation" of their lives they have the "free spirited, carefree, instinctive, intuitive" orientation to dating. Then when they get older and can no longer deny that they are not in "peak validation" anymore, and they experience (what they consider to be) struggles they are not used to, a few of those women will have an "epiphany" and do things like trying to think of dating out of a male perspective or think about the consequences of their attitude and actions, which it would never occur to them to do before.I understood it and it makes sense.
Re the bolded, yes that is my style exactly, which I actually hope I never lose even as I get older.
Free-spirted, carefree, instinctive, intuitive.
The "older" women I know who, as you said, analyze patterns other than their own natural instincts are the women who struggle the most from what I have observed.
Your answers have been great.
