Why is it so hard to find a grown-up nowadays? I've always said when looking for a man to settle down with, he should have the holy trinity as the foundation; that it's so top 3 that they should be considered -2. -1, and 0. A job, a place of his own, and a car. (The car is negotiable, if you live in a city like NYC, but for areas like the DC Metro...it's a must.) I'm old school, I think the man should be preparing himself for a family and a home so having all of this things says to me, "Yes, I'm ready for a wife and kids." Of course there are other things that are very important that you will need, but those are a pretty strong foundation to start with.
Here's my problem; Society has pretty much told us we can delay growing up as long as possible. (You can stay on your parents insurance til you're 26 now, 26!! Are you frakin kidding me?!) Stay in college for as long as possible, don't get a job, keep taking out loans, and by the time you're FINALLY ready to graduate, your tens of thousands of dollars in debut with a bachelors, sometimes a masters degree, that does you no good because you can't do anything. No one told you that you should get a job while you're in school because it makes you look good to potential employers. And working certain jobs will give you those nice benefits your parents always talked about and stressed to you about looking for and getting in your future career. That some jobs will actually PAY for you to go to school, so you and your parents are stuck forking over the bill for decades after your degree is finished. And you haven't even been out in the real world yet where you get to experience the good and bad of corporate America!!
And ladies wonder why it's so damn hard to find a good man! SMDH, We should just give up and start over and write most of these guys off already cause they aren't gonna grow up anytime soon.
