So many men who will never get a girlfriend and not understand why. Social media influencers were a mistake.

Is this related to differences in prefrontal cortex maturity rates in young adults?
oh my god what a stupid post
I'm not the smartest guy in the room, but what makes you say that?
If by that you mean biological differences, then no way. Genetics don't change on this sort of short time scale. It's almost certainly socio-economic factors
No of course not. I don't have a particular idea in mind. I've heard many people state that the prefrontal cortex develops sooner in women, and this specifically affects how much of the brain is engaged in decision making.
I was certainly prone to seeing everything in black and white in my early 20s. This may have affected my younger brain's susceptibility to extremist views.
Inherent factors could explain different ratios of conservativ vs liberal views in men vs women of that age group, but not drastic changes to such a gap. I'd also rule out brain development as a factor simply based on differences between countries. Human populations do have variances, but not to such a degree when it concerns something this fundamental.

Or for a positive spin "openness to new or different ideas and values"
I skimmed through a few articles out of curiosity, and some suggest that polarizing statements (e.g. claims of male discrimination) from far-right leaders resonate with young men. Is this testosterone, lack of maturity, etc. or just human behavior? If the shoe was reversed, would the percentage of conservative women increase?
If it was, you'd have to argue how that only got to impact results in the past 5 years. It's more likely to be an environmental factor. If only we could point to something that has changed in the past 5-10 years...
The good news is that almost universally, women vote in greater numbers than me. So on average its still breaking to the left.
Only if the trend between women getting more liberal and men getting more conservative cancel out. If you have a graph like South Korea where young women vote moderately more liberal, but young men become drastically more conservative, then it still results in an overall shift towards conservative values.
Does it, though? If I lean a little bit left I'm going to vote left, whereas if I lean a lot left then... I'm still going to vote left (or vice versa). Granted, I might vote for a more fringe party then further I lean, but I don't think a greater divide will reflect in the number of votes particularly.
That's also a symptom of Capitalism producing its own gravediggers.
ok but this age group also doesn't vote.
