What do people expect from a 22-year-old girl?

Question

Please don't look at this as a stupid question.

I'm 22, and wonder what people expect of me, with regards to looks, career, relationships, mindset and everything else.

Answer 1

dont live your life for others. do what makes you happy.

Answer 2

I think the broad stereotype would be at 22 you are in your fourth year of college or you are just starting your career with your degree. If you aren't starting your career than after your graduation you attend graduate school. You are living on your own, or with a roommate, and possibly dating, and maybe planning your wedding. You probably shouldn't have kids.

I think it all depends on where you are in your life. You can never go to college and have a great career at 22, or you can be going to college and never had a career until you are 22. Or you could be 22 with two wonderful kids.

I'm sure as long as you have a sense of direction in life, a reasonable means of financial support, and aren't shooting coke, most people don't "expect" much more.

Answer 3

People don't expect anything I hope. It is what you want out of your life when it comes to careers, relationships, mindset and other things. You choose your Carree, you choose your relationship types, and you design you own mindset and beliefs. If people don't like it, then tough doodah. You are a young women that has entered the real world. Now it is time to make your own decisions. Go for it. All the best and have a great New Year.

Answer 4

Well, I'm 37 and based on my own experience of being 22, I would expect you to worry about exactly that kind of question. Do you think at 37 I care what people expect from a 37 year old? Heck no, I'm too busy living my life, which has taken interesting turns I did not expect while I was busy doing what I thought other people expected. You too will find your own direction in life.

Answer 5

You should be still finding your style lookswise but have strong preferences in a particular direction - i.e. you will know if you're a pink and frilly type girl or someone who wears monochrome colours and tailored clothes etc. You have either finished studying, still studying or starting to study or you've been working for about 4-5 years and getting and idea of whether you like what you've chosen to do. You should be going out with your boyfriend or friends and drinking/socialising and be over any rebellious phase. Life is just starting at 22.

Answer 6

Well.
I would expect you to be graduating college, or if not in school working in a nice place.

Looks? They don't really matter, just dress nice not slutty. Most guys , like me, love the mystery.

Relationships, too young for anything serious, concentrate on your career or education to fall back on if your presumed marriage ends in divorce (50% ratio remember.)

Mindset, you better be way smarter and realistic than a school girl and more mature too. Granted, women mature faster than dudes, so I guess you are.

Answer 7

You have a nice mind to have asked such a wonderful question dear.

Indeed, it seems to me you want to live a pleasing life to people around you.

There is what people expect you to have, to be, but the most important thing it is to know what you, yourself expect of yourself.

People expect you to be responsible now for your life.I mean, take serious thought about every thing you watch, hear, talk, do...

You are responsible for what you become in life.

I wish you a wonderful and fulfilling 2007.

I will love to hear from you.

Answer 8

At age 22 you should be working or in college. When at work, act according to your job, as no one wants to deal with immaturity. When you are in a relationship, it will all depend on who you are with, but in any case, just be yourself. At home, just relax and don't worry about anything. This is your time. As far as looks, just be natural. It is the prettiest way to go, well, maybe a little makeup when you go out, but just look natural and feel and dress comfortable and be yourself. Don't worry about what others expect! This is your life, not everybody else's.

Answer 9

At 22 yrs old, hopefully you are living on your own and have a job! You need to concentrate on yourself and finding out who you are! In today's society, not being married by 22 does not mean you are going to be a spencer! Dress how you want to and do not worry about what others think! You do not need to have the world figured out!!! Enjoy being young!!!

Answer 10

The fact that you are asking this question shows that you are most likely in the right place for your age. I'm 22 as well, and I know a few of my friends don't even care. It's unfortunate, but good luck to you! You're on the right track!

Answer 11

...... train and qualify for a high paying career... (computer engineering,... computer programming,.. or something like that corz they pay WOW salary's) .... so that should anything go wrong in a future relationship or what-ever, no guy can keep you there, if you have the financial fire-power to help get you out... It's one of the major reason's mistreated wives are often stuck,... their low qualification/wages etc would barely leave them enough to save..... So big salary's are very, very important..... Dont worry either, if someone from the church tell's you materialism and money is bad.... Tell them to knick off, and mind their own business.... If people treat you well, and they treat you fair, return the same courtesy's to them, that they do to you..... Date different guy's etc, to learn their different type's,.. then prepare to settle down, to start a family at around 25.... Plan for a large family of say 5 or 6 or what-ever, and guide them to qualify in all trade's.... Mechanical engineering,. electrical engineering,. computer engineering,. civil engineering,. master's law,.. and master's education.... That way,.. if an expensive breakdown or whatever occur's with an appliance or car etc,.. you will alway's have a son or daughter engineer in the family who can do your repair's for free.... Should someone try to sue you,.. youre covered with a sibling's master law.... Should a sibling start to struggle with science or math's etc,.. your'e covered with master's education... Should you and your family succeed in these area's,... they're headed for both strong and bright future's!... Enjoy your future family,.. corz raising good children, will make you and hubby very proud of them....
