Maturity, who is more mature?

[Kitten]

Maturity, who is more mature men or women? This is not a gender bias question both parties can answer. What are your views to this question?

[Greatis]

hahaha this is so interesting. What is Maturity? What our who determines maturity?

[Drew]

maturity varies from person to person, and from gender to gender. for example i've met quite alot of persons who are remotely older than me and they behave like children. the funny thing is, they were all women.

You answer a question with a question it could determine your level of intelligence and maturity. I think maybe drew is correct with some explanation, but i think im not as mature as my fiancee. Hes more serious then I am most of the time. I think that is part of maturity or its just his personality. Some people are different in so many ways so it hard to say for sure. :eusa_thin

I see interesting. I am uncertain what this statement is saying. Are you saying that my level of maturity and intelligence can be determined by the fact that I answered the question asked with questions?

ma·ture
adj.
1. Having reached full natural growth or development.
2. Of, relating to, or characteristic of full development, either mental or physical: mature for her age.

So basically maturity is being fully developed, either physically or mentally.

It is already known, that women reach full maturity before the men do at a similar age. Hence why women prefer guys older than they are. They prefer a guy that matches thier level of maturity.

Yes that could be a determining factor that contributes to the functioning of the the thought process. But it also maybe some other viable explanation.

With regards to this statement, do you mean women mature physically before men, or emotionally/psychologically? I can buy the physical part, but emotional and psychological maturity would be heavily dependent on the personal experiences and environment of the individual I think.

When it comes to maturity in behaviour, decision making, etc. experience is and guidance is what shapes the growth of the individual I think.

bwoy AA, i always heard that, but i not sure its true. i know lots and i mean lots of young ladies that are up to 10 years older than me, and i think i'm way more mature. then again maybe its me cause everyone always tell me that my level of maturity is beyond my age.

its all about life experiences, the more experience or sh!+ one person go through in their life is the more they'll grow into a mature individual.

This also is not necessarily true. There are way too many ppl who go thru life and never learn anything from it.

[Drew]

thats a very excellent point angel which i must commend you for stating :eusa_clap
but thats not immature, thats just plain dumb. a wise person makes mistakes accepts it and learns from it.

I wouldn't call it dumb Drew...sometimes it takes us a several mistake to really learn. For others they just don't know or realise what is happening to them.

I know some one who went thru a lot of verbal abuse by her boyfriend. She knew things were not always right, but what she didn't understand that what she was experiencing was severe abuse. She didn't grow up with a mother and her father wasn't really strong, he was an alcoholic, not abusive or anything like that, just wasn't really there for her.

Now she understands what happened to her (after lots of counseling) and she has learned her lesson to the point where she sometimes go overboard in my opinion with her mistrust of others (which is understandable too).

so amm, hmmm, nobody couldn't tell your friend not to put up with that kinda crap. anyway thats another thread.

Although this is for another thread, the short ans to your question Drew is yes they probably did. But it is very hard to get out of situations like that. I am not talking physically but mentally, emotionally.

[Drew]

no comment for obvious reasons.

Maturity, who is more mature?

Nobody... its a tie.

The reason is that maturity is relative to individuality.

This is so for both the psychological and physical realms of an individual.

Age may play a crucial factor in the issue at hand since maturity is dependent upon time vis a vie a fuction of a persons experiences throughout the course of their life.

The variablity is in how each individual approaches their life expereinces and what they learn and gain from it and how they apply this wisdom (not knowledge) toward future experiences.

This varibilty is independent of age.

As such, using age as a matirity index is crude and actually shows up the person using it to be somewhat immature. Regardless of gender.

It is a persons apprach to life that is the true index of maturity.
