Emily and I read this article earlier this year about the man-child. It's really interesting. Tell us what you think. This image is on that very subject by Graham Roumieu who is very talent artist I stumbled upon in the past month.This is another one I really loved.

Very interesting read; this is certainly the state of things today. Taking a step back, I sometimes wonder what kind of parents our generation is going to be. Right now, even though we've taken lots of important steps (we're married, graduated, paying our own way, have careers, etc.), we still own and play nearly every generation of nintendo. What happens when we have a kid? Sorry baby, stop crying, I've got to finish this level? Obviously not, but it's interesting to think of which of my hobbies will change once we're not the only kids in the house...
My 31 year old single girlfriend called to ask my advice the other day, "All the guys my age live in their parent's basement and play video games all day. Am I supposed to lower my standards just so I can find someone to date/marry?". Honestly it makes me sick. I have a hard hard heart toward man-children. Buck up and put someone else ahead of yourself, jerk! That's what I want to tell them. BUT, my advice was actually the opposite, good thing it's easier to give it out than to live it! :) But I told her she shouldn't lower her standards, but she should work REAL hard on not getting bitter toward the man-children, so that someday when a plain old "man" comes along she won't be so mean, bitter and disillusioned that she misses out on a chance to be happy. (either b/c he doesn't want to date a bitter girl or b/c she sees all men as lame-o's.)
And P.S. I stole your link to send to all my single sisters :). Thanks!
