    depends on the person, I know some men who are still like litte kids at 50 and also some women who never did mature, You cant group people like that as it is not just a sex thing its a personal thing.

      I have a beloved female friend who routinely dates guys twenty years older than her, or more, and those dudes are all immature. I think she has daddy issues. I also think she dates too many damn alcoholics.

    I'm a 23-year old guy, and I feel like I ain't even close to the maturity level of most girls my age.

    It all depends on the man or the woman.

    I've met plenty of both in their 50s or older who have never grown up and accepted responsibility for things in their lives. and also met plenty of both who have.

    I would agree that often younger ladies mature faster than most men because they end up caring for children more often (although I was a rare male babysitter as a teenager myself).

    But, I think past 30 that things have evened out there and its up to how much each person has and is willing to grow up and take responsibility.

    Men do fully mature, but we like to keep some of the childhood wonder. Especially for things we love.
    Fast bikes, loud cars, boats, guns, whatever... You buy that for fun. You buy a boring family car for the boring daily drives, but you also buy an 80s sports car, or a motorcycle. Why? Cause it's awesome. It's a man toy. It's your way to escape the monotony and relive some of the wonder you got from things as a kid.

    And I'm sorry, but if you buy a sports car and floor it through a tunnel and don't giggle like a schoolgirl afterwards and have a smile 2 miles wide - you're not human.

    Same as picking up any roughly gun shaped object around the house and making a gun sound for the lolz. My wife asks me to get her hairdryer out. I get it out, aim it at her and say "Are you feeling lucky punk?". Or recite other action movie one liners. Most times she laughs. And that's good.
    I'm being childish, but in a fun and good way that doesn't harm our relationship, or impede me from doing all the boring adult stuff.

    Or when I pick her up from shopping, I abruptly brake, open the right door and say "Come with me if you want to live!" with an Austrian monotone accent.

    So men do grow up fully, we just chose to sometimes act childish for the sake of fun.

      The perfect response - thanks on behalf of all men who still hold that precious childish spirit within!

    Such generalised statements often hold almost no validity.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm a 19 year old who somewhat acts like a 10 year old but when I'm more older I'm likely to grow out of it

      You wont and that's the fun of it. Long as you got a job you can fund any hobby you damn well please.

    Theres a disconnect here between being serious and being mature.

    You can have a serious job and still think its hilarious that your friend farted. Maturity has nothing to do with your learned knowlage or experience.

    In ways I think we all grow up. I definitely dont see the world through the same lens as when I was young.

    I know there is a whole scientific brain development factor that could be used here, but I don’t know the logistics of all that, that’s nerd shit yo

    But I’ve noticed a trend that a lot of the claims of the lack of maturity in men is based on experience with ;
    - domestic duties, like cooking, cleaning, taking care of yourself
    - emotional maturity, like when it comes to handling anger and not thinking with your dick
    - self-preservation, like attempting to do a backflip off the bulkhead cause you saw your CrossFit buddy do it and you’re shit-faced drunk

    I’ve heard from women before when asked about the subject that “Women grow up faster because we are told to”. A lot of girls are used as babysitters for their siblings, anytime parents are out of the house they point to the oldest girl and say “you’re in charge tonight”. This creates a //need// for young girls to “mature” up to the standards of their mothers in terms of responsibility.

      I'm so glad I never had to do all that mess. My younger sister, and I were only three years apart so we were just a couple of unsupervised latch key kids growing up in the 1980s, and being raised by the television.

      Good point there, Kholat. A good share of maturity is acquired by rising to demanding situations. I have seen top managers in industry gracefully handle stressful situations with superior skill that very few females could achieve.

      It’s not because they were born that way. Every day, they play at the top of their game, and slowly it changes their brain.
