Les filles de 20 ans sont
romantiques Un homme « protecteur »
Mais alors, pourquoi veulent-elles avant tout un homme «protecteur»?

At this age, their mothers were obsessed with the desire to conquer the world. We asked 20-year-old women what excites them today. They answered, with some bewilderment and slight hesitation, that their number one goal is to meet Prince Charming, the love of their lives. A statistical portrait of young women in their 20s. Women in their 20s are romantic. They’ve seen “Gone With the Wind” 45 times while holding each other’s hands and dreaming about great love, too. Who are they? They are two 20-year-old girlfriends in the year 2005. According to our survey, 69% of young women of this age would like to “find the love of their lives and be together until death do them part.” It’s incredible! In the age of divorce, single-parent families, or blended families, the dream of fairytale prince remains. This hope is strong, persistent, and eternal. “The universal illusion of a great love is tenacious,” comments Elisabeth Badinter while reading these surprising results. “At this age, it is also a way to tell yourself that you will never experience suffering, break-ups, loneliness, and that another person will be your alter ego.” 20-year-old women consider themselves romantic, sentimental, princesses, and when one asks them what the objectives of an ideal life are, 62% of them answer: “To be successful in love.”
A protective man.
But why do they prefer a protective man? Indeed, it is one of the most surprising results of this survey. Is it an anachronism? Is it a return to a traditional model of the couple, or even to the time of cavemen, when the man defended his family from wild animals? “No, it has nothing to do with the return to the role of the man as dominant in the couple,” explains the sociologist Jean-Claude Kauffmann. “Young women are simply looking for a relationship that brings security.” They want it to be a sort of island of comfort where they can find an asylum from rapidly increasing unemployment, the companies where you can be fired from one day to the next, astronomical rent, and depressing television news. Moreover, the second quality that their future mate has to possess is sensitivity (23%), which implies the idea of tenderness.
