That week, back in the city, I wondered what was the allure of the 20s? On one hand, there's great skin tone, the thrill of fresh experience, and the sense of a consequence-free life full of seemingly endless possibilities. While on the other, there are horrible apartments, sexually inexperienced men, and embarrassing errors in fashion judgment. Should we fear these freshly minted, single women as a threat to our very survival or pity them as clueless half-wits about to get their dreams dashed and illusions shattered? Twenty-something girls...friend or foe?
