In your opinion, what should an average man in his early 20 years be capable of doing?

What responsibilities or things should he be able to master?

For example, I think someone in this age bracket should have a clean room and be able to drive.

To be able to stop endlessly posting your every thought here Jack or John or whatever the fuck your name was.

I don't get it, WHY do you do this?

Lift 400 lbs. or Oprah.

R3,

I don't post every thought just the ones I think would make for good discussion.

He should be able to commit to his major/program, and get his used textbooks sold without a significant loss.

So, what I'm getting out of this is that you don't have a clean room and you can't drive.

by Anonymousreply 7September 29, 2015 3:08 AM

Yet you do not drive, dildo.

R9 what do you think a 20 something person should be able to do? I agree that those are low standards.

by Anonymousreply 12September 29, 2015 3:24 AM

Oh poor confused mentally ill PMBT. In much of the world, 20something are married, with kids, running their households, balancing their budgets and holding down full-time jobs.

The fact that your parents have infantilized you by taking away your power to make decisions is tragic.

What do you think of this car? Would you drive it on the highway? I'd be scared. Do you think that Tom Hardy would like if it? I bet he would.

Someone in their early twenties should be able to live on his own and be a fully functioning adult without needing the support or assistance of family.

1. Hold a job and maintain a home

2. Manage personal finances

3. Do laundry

4. Grocery shop and cook basic foods

5. Dress appropriately for specific occasions

6. Basic housekeeping and cleaning

7. Change a flat tire (if you drive a car regularly)

Study for and pass his upcoming NCLEX-RN and then re-sell his used text book for a fair price.

Obtaining psychiatric help for his OCD. Zoloft... > 100 mg.

Live for an entire day without looking at his phone.

Know how to walk on a sidewalk without running into other people.

Learn how to start a sentence with any word other than "I".

Learn who to listen to someone else's experience without simply waiting to insert your own barely relevant experience.

Know that three drinks is always enough.

Know when to leave a party.

Know how to cook a basic meal.

Learn how to entertain houseguests and overnight dates.

Why do you expect crazy to be rational?

Never argue with crazy. Nobody ever wins, but crazy enjoys the fight.

he should be capable of changing his eye color.

He should be able to satisfy me sexually before I dump his old ass for someone younger!

by Anonymousreply 31October 10, 2015 10:01 PM

1. change a flat tire.

2. Bait a hook.

3. Read a map - not rely on GPS.

by Anonymousreply 32October 10, 2015 10:12 PM

He should have enough awareness of the world and the other people in it to know that his banal thoughts and musings are not of any interest to them and should be kept to himself.

To pass a nursing exam, and then resell all the text books not needed anymore, hopefully without incurring too much of a loss.

If you were early 20's around 30-odd years ago you would have learned to: graduate, masters, wife, 2 kids, first professional positions, 2 houses (this would be my straight brother.)(if you were me, you would have learned to start manipulating relatives so you could live with them and do jack shit while you pursued a career in theatre

If you were early 20's now: walk and talk. If you're lucky.
