(24,299 posts)As an adult male pushing 50, I have family and interns at work who fall into this age group. This age group is just more serious than we were when we were 20 somethings. They are more mature and aware of the consequences of poor choices. These kids grew up in an era where hanging out after school and wasting time isn't a thing like it was, it's a group that has gone through grade and high school with after school activities ad infinitum.
Kids are more academically competitive, they're more career driven, and they're simply more mature. Getting wasted and hooking up at the end of the night is just less prevalent than before. Other kids just stay in and play online or play video games.
27% of men under 30 is just a staggering number though to me, crazy.
