Men's brains develop later than women. Women reach full synaptic and global maturity at 23 on average compared to men at 26. Men receive a lot more culturally reinforced messages from society that emotional vulnerability is weak. In response they develop patterns of emotional unavailability in an attempt to live up to their cultural and gender expectations. ghosting is actually a massive sign of emotionalunavailability because these individuals don't have the capacity to navigate emotionally complex situations such as ending it with someone.
This week we are discussing the science and psychology of emotional unavailability and breaking down the misconceptions and myths about emotional unavailability in our 20's, particularly when it comes to dating people who won't commit. We’re going to break down exactly what emotional unavailability versus availability looks like and how it manifests in relationships, what emotional unavailability means on a personal, individual level, the difference between men and women when it comes to this concept and how to develop emotional availability and grow closer to the ones we love and attract those who are equally emotionally available.
