As you can see from the image above, Baumrind's four parenting styles can be broken down as follows:

Authoritarian - a restrictive, punishment-heavy parenting style in which parents make their children follow their directions with little to no explanation or feedback and focus on the child's and family's perception and status. Corporal punishment, such as spanking, and shouting are forms of discipline frequently preferred by authoritarian parents.

Permissive - try to be "friends" with their child, and do not play a parental role. The expectations of the child are very low, and there is little discipline. Permissive parents also allow children to make their own decisions, giving them advice as a friend would. This type of parenting is very lax, with few punishments or rules. Tend to give their children whatever they want and hope that they are appreciated for their accommodating style.

Rejecting-Neglecting - do not set limits or monitor their behavior and are unsupportive of them. Parents are often focused on their own needs over their child’s.

Authoritative - characterized by a child-centered approach that holds high expectations of maturity. Authoritative parents can understand how their children are feeling and teach them how to regulate their feelings. Even with high expectations of maturity, authoritative parents are usually forgiving of any possible shortcomings. They often help their children to find appropriate outlets to solve problems. Authoritative parents encourage children to be independent but still place limits on their actions.

How did your parent's parenting style effect you growing up and now that you are an adult? If you are a parent, which style do you tend to use?

So personally, I have NEVER found Aziz Ansari very funny. He has his moments, but the dude's constant ham-fisted approach to comedy, in my most humble of opinions, sells the show short. Master of None tackles everything from casual everyday quirkiness, to profoundly deep fundamental questions about maturity, and race politics in America. Aziz's loud antics allow him to do the surface level stuff well, things like getting into racist email scandal with his boss. I think he struggles when it comes to the show's real meat, because Aziz literally has nothing insightful to say. Even if he did, it would be drowned out by Aziz's very direct approach to comedy. He EXPLAINS THE CLEVER JOKES IN THE SHOW.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

I'll agree that men age more gracefully than women in the general scheme of things due to biology. I rather not have this whole argument on the biology factor though. Here's how I see it-- we might age a little more gracefully than women, but not nearly as well as some of these guys are saying. Some of the opinions that I read on here seem absolutley delusional.

If you're 36 years old, then you are by no means in your biological prime dude. You can have all the money in the world, but that still won't compensate for the fact that you're at a completley different phase of life in comparison to a 21 year old woman. That won't compensate for the fact that age is starting to take a toll on your physical attractivness as well.

These older guys who make such claims seem to think that they're more "established" and more "mature" by default due to age as well. Dude, I'm 24, and I've been financially independent since I left high school. I have money in the bank. I have a lot of life experience. I'm about to graduate with an engineering degree. I have all of that at 24 years old, along with a lot of other 24 year old men. I've been doing this adult shit for a while now. If me and this so-called older guy have the same selling points in regards to maturity and establishment, and I'm younger, then wouldn't you say I have a better shot at landing the 21 year old woman? If we're using logic in that scenario, wouldn't that mean that I'm prime instead of you?

The reason why I think they put such a strong emphasis on how well they age, is because they are trying to compensate for the fact that they are getting older and still single. Either that or they're still young and can't score women right now, so the thought of thinking things will get better as they age is comforting to them.
