Women made you mature

[Pumax]

There must have been women in your life who changed you forever.


Some may have treated you badly, they were cruel, selfish, manipulative.
Others were kind, supportive, feminine in that unique way only women can be, then friends, confidantes.


In either case, how much do you credit women for the ways you've changed and matured?

Women never "make" you do anything. They simply make you realize your shortcomings so YOU can fix them

 

[The Duke]

For me it wasn't so much as they changed me as it was they opened my eyes to who most of them are. I was a little naive to the ways of women until I got cheated on by my exwife and got into the dating world.

Most all of the women in my life taught me something.

The biggest lessons were they've taught me that marriage is pointless, and its never smart to partner with them on big financial things. Women lack personal accountability and don't look far enough down the road. Their emotions run their lives. This is why they aren't good business partners. There has always been some man that bailed them out.

Am I jaded?.....I don't believe so. I just know a relationship with one isn't going to last more than 7yrs so I always keep that in mind. They have too many options and they always think the grass is greener somewhere else. Social Media has fueled this effect. Removing sanctions society had placed on them in the 50's and 60's didn't help either.

The chaos in American society these days is what you see when you let women run the show. A bunch of drama and emotions.

- Women are "slvts" for the right man.
- Sex is actually not as important for them as to men
- Feminine is "crazy"
- All of them are replaceable
- I'm not hers, its just her turn

My wife comes from a loving and far more healthier family than me. She is loving, sacrificial, and caring too. So, coming from a high-tension background myself, expanding on other elements of my personality changed me.

Raising kids and running a household together matured me further after that.

They play a part in how life is in a constant flux, but I wouldn't make them the top priority as you have family, potential friends and other associates who will change.

My Uncle ran his company for 40 years with my Aunt by his side.
I would say he was the one who ran public relations, always busy and forgetful.
She was the calculator who ran her accounting firm.

It was a 10 hour a day job and to think that they also raised a family of 3 children, and they all grew up quite healthy.

There are exceptions to the rules

I think the best matches are with significant age gaps. Like 25 year old female and 40 year old male. The truth is males and females evolve at different speeds.

A 25 year old female will treat a 27 year old male like he doesn’t know sht because he really doesn’t compared to her. But a 25 year old female recognizes that a 40 year old male has traits of maturity, life experience and sophistication she respects.

Society has mismatched age groups. Just 30 years ago it was common for an 17 year old girl to marry a 35 year old male. Today the same age span was forced into something taboo.

I believe a lot in asymmetries, but also that similar attracts similar.
It's true, a younger woman always has more maturity than a man, at least for the initial stages, it's in their nature.

I also notice this when I am approached often by much younger women. 5/10 years.
I think it's a common thing for everyone here.

Maturity is something that only I can do myself, and I'm as mature or as immature as I want to be. The important thing is that I'm effective and think about the long term.

And yet, you can learn it from the people around you.


How mature are the people you surround yourself with? You'll start becoming like them.


It's no coincidence that cities and suburbs have different ways of doing things.
They call them traditions.

I like to observe people in crowded places. You'll noticed patterns if you're thinking critically, with enough observation.

How mature are the people you surround yourself with? You'll start becoming like them.

You can surround yourself with the people of your choice. You can also allow your environment to influence you if you don't have a strong enough ego.

I'm not exactly sure what that means. People do what they must, should, and can do, and if not done rationally, suffer consequences.
