I'm a 36 year old man. But in my 20s, I was a 20-something boy.

Men don't start becoming husband material until about the age of 28-29, at the earliest.

Teenage guys and men in their 20s are very sex driven and not looking to settle down. The age range is built in F Boi demographic.

Not saying this will always be the case. A lot of 20 something dudes want a steady relationship. But even then, they're inexperienced and immature. They lack emotional temperance, life direction, substantial savings/income, and important experience. Moreover, their brain hasn't fully developed yet.

A lot of the same discussion applies to women, too. So I'm not trying to single men out. Though it is generally true that women mature faster than men, and therefore you are entering a several year period where you will notice a mismatch between yourself and your male peers in terms of seriousness.

But in general, when you're young, you aren't settled yet. You're highly volatile. That means you will be a totally different person at 28 than you were at 20. Which means I wouldn't get too worked up over relationships in your late teens/early 20s.

The relationships will certainly come, though. You're getting worked up over your chances for true love and something real, when your train hasn't even left the station yet.

Things seem like a big deal now. But you've got about 8 years to go before the "I need something serious" discussion actually becomes a more pressing matter for you.

I assure you, the good men are out there. But my best advice to you is chill. Be patient. Trust that time will reveal your path as long as you keep the right priorities.

Also, do whatever you can to avoid getting knocked up and married before 25. Don't make that mistake.
