    Default what age do men mature????

    i was thinking to myself today about the concept that says women mature faster than men and i would like to know how many of us share the same beliefs ...i think that men start showing some form of maturity at the age of 25 or somewhere around there...

    30 +...and even that is questionable...


    Why do some people still have to fight...to get the same opportunities...that are given to others??...

    Look out for self...because noone else will...AND

    Reclusivness...is a good thing.

    I don't think we can lump them all into one catagory. Some never, and some might mature very early due to life circumstances.

    Just my 2 cents, but I think they show signs of growing up in their late 20s, so I chose 30 on the poll. If they arent wising up by then maybe they never will. There are always exceptioons to the rule in both directions, but as a generalization...i say 30 hopefully they are thinking with the head on their shoulders by then lol
    As I have matured,I have learned "that one good turn....usually gets most of the blankets",-)

    From my particular experience, I must say that I finally felt like I matured once I started strip clubbin' at the tender age of 37 (I'm 41 right now )

    According to my father, my grandfather really matured in his last decade, between eighty and ninety. So I figure there's still hope for me.

    I adore older men! I have dated younger guys but had a hard time relating to certain topics.

    Older men and i hit it off well seems ALL the time.
    But i have met my share of the 20's age, and they are so mature, it blew my mind. They seemed to be the ones who want to settle down however.

    I think it depends on the guy. And the crowd he hangs with too. A 50 year old hanging with a 20 year old may seem very immature, but is not.

    In crowds together they can fool us. Along in my experience has been a whole different game.

    I agree with Kobi. I think life circumstances will mature any individual, male or female. I just think that men lead a different, though not necessarily easier, existance than women. That's why we get frustrated with them. My last boyfriend was literally a decade older than me. He was still a child. I didn't vote in the pole b/c I don't believe there's necessarily an age when anyone matures.

    That was exactly what I was thinking when I was looking at the poll. I've seen some total jerks take a massive character change due to the things they encounter throughout life.

    I also feel that maturity can be seen on different levels in girls and guys, although in girls it can be much more noticeable. Even for some part, girls can be very immature on an obvious level. For example, there is a girl I know, now were 20, still acts exactly the same way we did when we were a lot younger. I just cannot take her seriously as an adult or even as a friend sometimes. She totally does my tits in!!!

    Kobi is right on the money!
    Aaliyah said it best, "Age Ain't Nuthin' But A Number".
    Maturity is always a relative term...emotional, financial, relationships, and even dare I say it, spiritual.

    there is not mature meter to put on someone and say he is matured by the date ...
    i seen some hard workin kind men that they just cant decide wut to do when somethin happens at work and the wife manages them and seen some men that r very successful in their career that cant really run family!
    when yur completely mature for accepting a jobs responsibility doesnt mean u r matured for marriage!
    but in general i agree with pamela and jason!

    "maturity" isn't an all encompassing event either. Some guys can begin to exhibit some maturity traits by age 25 or so. However, even guys who are 50 can act very immature in some circumstances.

    I think the question was probably meant for us to answer when we think guys START to mature. I think that is around 25 for most average guys. It's very individual, but I think 25 is commonly when guys begin to show signs of real maturity.

    I voted 35. I find men in their early 30's are still clinging to the whole Peter Pan thing and they are still trying to nail every woman they meet
    By about 35 they seem to snap out of it and settle into or look for healthy relationships, a secure career with good benifits and they start planning for the future with 401K's , college funds for kids and so on.
    My favorite men always seem to be in the 35-50 age range and I haven't dated a man under 35 since I was 21 and I am now 28.

    I have always equated maturity in a broad sense of being both respectful and selfless. The more mature one gets, the less self focused one is, and the less one needs to fulfill their needs at possible expense of someone else.

    When dealing with a problem, a less mature person will go "What can I do to take the stress off of me?, while a more mature person will go "What can I do to resolve this problem?" Time and experience are big factors in the change of a person into maturity, but a base ability to see the inherent benefits of selflessness and respectfulness is needed as well.

    I always hearken back to my mantra - "I have bartended for 12 years". I sometimes feel that I harp on that too much, and people are getting sick of me saying it here. But in all honesty a lot of my life perceptions are drawn from the years of observing people as they slowly let their guards down and reveal who they are while patronizing my workplace. In my experience, most men.. not some.. most... have yet to reach that level of focusing less on their base wants. The age doesn’t matter. I have seen very many 21 year olds act like idiots, then seen a 50 year old guy act the same way, just maybe more subtly.

    Yes, there are women who are just as self focused, but for every one, there are nine guys that way. Remember this is just based on a long stretch of personal observances, and it not scientific. Purely a PJ Life observance.

    If one would make me theorize as to why that is, I would put forth the hypothesis that women, being the bearers of children, mayhap have a greater capacity to think of someone other than themselves. Maybe that is biological, maybe that is social indoctrination. I don’t know (remember this is an opinion hypothesis).

    Females mature faster than males, but if I recall right (and please... someone tell me that I am wrong if I am), that only applies to physical maturity (and corresponding puberty) and it evens out in the 20s. Thus, if I remember this right, that doesn’t mean that a female is always ahead in maturity of a male the same age.

    There are a lot of life experiences that can mature a guy, but he needs to be someone who learns from those experiences in a positive way. That is not restricted to any age.

    I hope this made some sort of sense LOL.

    broad sweeping generalization alert
    Often when I've heared women complain about a guy being immature, it's in the context of him not agreeing with her about something, almost as if women are defining maturity in a man as doing and agreeing with whatever she says. "He never does what I tell him to do, he's so immature!" In that case, of course it will seem like men never 'mature.' Anyway...
    /broad sweeping generalization alert

    I think men are the person they will be and have their character set by their mid-teens. They become a fully mature person whenever they meet 'the one.' This is when they learn all of the niceities of being considerate and caring for another person, putting another person's needs first, and so on; i.e. becoming a mature adult by being in a committed realtionship. I think women are kind of reverse, they're much better earlier about being considerate with people and relationships, but it takes them longer to figure out who they are and what they want.
