How does a twenty-six year man think?

Men have the same thing on their minds from birth until death.  Food and women.  All of his thoughts and decision making revolves around these two things.  This may not help you much, but it was worth a shot.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but cannot change anything.  I was raised by a single mom as father died when I was 3 years old from cancer.  But during my wise years (teenage years where I truly believed that I was brighter than Einstein) I thought that she knew nothing and was a foolish woman. But much to my amazement I now realize how brilliant she actually was and find myself repeating many of her sayings etc.  Your young son is going through a difficult time in his life as he is trying to cut the apron strings a bit and yet still remain a kid at the same time.  You can certainly sit him down and let him know that you and your friends went through a lot of the same things that he is currently experiencing but if he is like majority of kids he will doubt that you can identify with his feelings. Ha!  I suppose that is why it is called the generation gap and has been around probably since the beginning of mankind.  In a couple of more years he will see that he is not fooling anyone (especially his mom) by telling untruths and/or exaggerating his stories and will come around and respect you far more than you'll ever expect.  I lived through this with 3 sons of my own and they are all young men now - aged 32, 25 and 21, and we actually are able to laugh at some of the things from the past today.  Call on him when you think he is being dishonest but realize that it's part of teenage life at the same time.  You too shall survive this part of your son aging.  Kids today are forced to age at a much more quicker rate than generations of the past.

Could you please spend the rest of my life explaining the mysteries of how you think? (That's how long the answer would take!)

Old is a state of mind, not an age.

At 48, give or take a year, most of your classmates will have seen more of the world than they did at 18. With that wider vision comes tolerance, usually. You are what you are. Go, have fun, and don't worry about defending your life choices. Some of your classmates will be sucessful doctors, lawyers or accountants, pillars of the church with lovely wives, 2.3 children, a station wagon and a golden retriever named "Rover". Some won't.  Some will be alcoholics, recovering or not. A few will have died. Some will be living with women half their age, or men 20 years older than them.

22 is only a young man if you live your life instead of sitting in front of a computer and asking Yahoo Answers if 22 is still a young man every other day.

If each generation is 25 years, then 26.

I didn't see the question, But yes, the youth, (and mind you I come in at the border line of youth, at 26, ) will believe pretty much anything that is told to them, especially when they are asked in any way shape or form to question authority. Whoever posted that BS question needs to have there head examined.

There's nothing wrong with it, especially if your feelings are genuine, but keep in mind that you could get hurt pretty bad given you start up a relationship. He could use you, or date you for a while but then flat out tell you that he's uncomfortable. Six years is not that big of a difference, but even age differences like that could result in some professional frowning-down on his part (like if he has a big corporate job and they find out he's seeing someone younger). But like I said, six years isn't that MUCh of a difference to be worried about. I knew someone who was about 19 or 20 and she dated a 36 year old guy, but they broke up because of the age difference.\n\nI just read your edit...I have to tell you that twenty is a whole different world from fourteen. So like I said, be careful!

What age feels comfortable? I think intellectual capacity should be what we focus on more than age, that being the case, it still feels weird to have a 7th grader hitting on you lol. I'm 20 as well so I know what you mean. I think as long as you're on the same mental page, it's ok, but 84 is maybe pushing it...

If he's 65 and still hasn't realized that, he may never.  You can't make him realize it, he obviously has to realize that on his own.  Hopefully, it won't take a death or something devestating to make him realize this.  Good Luck!
