Yes we need an algorithm for Sheldon. He didn't have those really childish traits in early seasons. It's not like they came to prominence suddenly. I seem to remember it starting , when L and Penny started dating. The shock must have been too much! I now see how programme makers are caught in paradigm. But it is true that adolescent men form tribal units, and go on adventures(virtually), and that women do often play a socializing role for men, and it's a cliche that women find a guy who is ready for shaping; Priya did it with L's wardrobe, all of the three main female characters show disdain for the guys interests,etc and these guys(except for Sheldon) were so desperate they would be easy to manipulate; Dr. Steph and L. Hence the guys will only be left with what their women consider socially acceptable. I predict they all split up and join a commune.
