Do younger women have more drive?

I'm 33 but I find women in their early to mid twenties just have more zest for life. They're more enthusiastic about things and have more energy to do stuff.

Drive in what sense? Stuff in what categories? The essential words that seem to be missing to me is focus & planning.

I was watching a youtube last night. Enthusiasm coming out of her ears and she was really quite charming and delightful. She was proud of being a boss bitch of her own business and she planned to be married in two years by 30 and to have babies after one year of marriage and then to home school them.

The older man that was guiding her didn't let her boundless enthusiasm over-ride his questioning of her plans.

She had a car rental business with six cars but seemed to think she owned four though she had bought them using credit card finance and didn't understand she didn't own them. Nonetheless she was still in business after one year of operation so she was doing well and seemed to be making a profit. Great! She was planning to expand while she looked for a husband.

A good question was how well she could expand on her own credit card with very large established players in car rental with outlets in all cities. Then he asked can you survive a covid lock down? Her answer was Uber. It was gently pointed out that Uber drivers have their own car and don't rent plus don't do much in a lock down.

He then asked what motivated her to run a business when her genuine life goals was founding a family and being a stay at home mom. The effort to keep her business thriving seemed contradictory with the effort that needed to go into a family.

Her answer was in case something went wrong with the marriage. This older gentleman pointed out that men mostly don't divorce. It is women that divorce and to have a continuing marriage all she had to do mostly was not initiate divorce on her side.

At the end she was obviously feeling a need to re-evaluate her largely un-thought out plans.

I don't think it does young women - or young men either - much service to gas them up to the degree they think it will all work by magic without solid planning and focus.

The world is difficult enough, with entire professions quite likely to disappear with robotics and AI, to have life plans based on zest and enthusiasm.

I think drive is based on spiritual wellness and not age but young woman have the physical ability to make their dreams a reality, older people might have less strength.

Not from what I have seen. Most younger people tend to be lazy.

That's a really general statement, I agree with you though

[red324]

Not saying their aren't exceptions but it seems once they hit late twenties to early 30s they have a lot of baggage and they're too wrapped up in their career to have that spunky energetic personality

Yeah, This is LIFE.
