Question:
If WOMEN are more mature WHY?

What reason did nature make women more mature than men? (note only until about age 25.. then it evens out and in most cases men pass women).

Nevertheless... Why do women mature faster? And WHY do they brag about it? (something I find rather immature)

FINALLY...... Who decides what is considered to be "mature"? Because it seems to me like feminists have tried to shape all female behavior to be considered mature and male behavior to be immature.

I think there is no doubt that women mature physically before men. But I debate their mental maturity. Just because a grown woman doesn't find male humor funny - fart jokes are universally funny to most males - it doesn't mean women aren't immature in other aspects. I don't know the last time there was a group of guys huddled together to gossip about how fat their friends look, or how poorly dressed the new guy is.



A woman might call male humor immature, but it's really because women don't understand men at all. And because they all suffer from superiority complexes, they label naturally exhuberant men as immature. I mean, who really started all this name calling in the first place? If you have any doubt, look at the number of Women's books that complain about men and compare that to the number of Men's books that complain about women. Men aren't the ones complaining and calling names. And yes, name-calling is immature.



Also, you must look at what motivates Men and Women. Women generally don't seek male approval to feel socially acceptable, whereas that's pretty much all that men do think about - getting the girl. Men, on the other hand, don't go around worrying about feeling safe and secure. I mean, when was the last time you said, "I don't think this is safe," to your buddy before he began grinding on his skateboard (or some other equally ridiculous stunt) - after which he fell off the rail and racked his jewels severely. I hope you said never.



And Women will never understand that.

You must remember that maturity is a subjective term defined by our society. In society, we define maturity as the efficacy of our interactions with other human beings- how well we understand others and are able to work together for mutual success. Nature has made women more emotionally intuitive so as to facilitate child-rearing, and it is because of this that women tend to be better at interacting with people and are therefore considered more mature. Mind you, this is just a trend and not a certainty. Women may generally be more mature than men of the same age (this applies mainly to childhood and adolescence), but this does not mean that this is always the case.



I think women, or indeed any people who brag about their maturity as a badge of superiority are, in fact, not mature at all. This is often what you see children and young adolescents doing- it is a very counter-productive and selfish behaviour and does not facilitate human interaction, therefore it is immature.



As for the feminists that claim innate superiority over men, they are fools no better than the people that feminism rose to challenge. They are not worth your attention. Case in point.



By the way, I still laugh at fart jokes. There's a serious floating around on ebaumsworld called "Farting Preacher" which is downright hilarious. I recommend it to any like-minded men reading this post.

I don't believe women do mature faster than faster than men. There are many mature men and many mature women and then many immature women and men as well.



I have seen just as many immature women that need to grow up.

This was a really great question until you felt the need to insert your misogyny into it. On what grounds can you make the assertion that "in most cases men pass women" in regards to maturity? Because if you are genuinely looking for an answer to your query and not just some other misogynistic yes-man to pat you on your back for your ever so "thoughtful" observations, you would have not contradicted yourself by first claiming that women are less mature than men, and then asking who defines maturity. It seems you are fine with anyone defining "maturity" so long as it is not feminists, and that men are defined "more mature than women."



As for an answer for your query, I do know that in general, females tend to physically mature earlier than males. I am sure that has something to do with emotional and mental maturity occurring sooner.

Women mature quickly because it was necessary in the past. Years ago girls were often married at age 12, and had children by age 14.



I've never bragged about it.



And Psychologist/psychiatrists/sociologists decide what is mature I would assume.

Women sexually mature at a younger age, and some mature earlier - but when 'women' are talking about being mature, it's usually under 21's because if you are mature you don't need to talk about it.



In our society 'maturity' is meant to be a good thing, but I'm never going to grow up...completely that is!

I think society as a whole views a family with kids more mature than say, a single bloke/gal going out clubbing etc. I suppose the more responsibility you have the more mature you appear to others...maybe.

maturity is over rated, women can keep it IMO



Who wants to grow up really? I find the so called immaturity fun



AND I'm 25, the ideal mAture age, but I'll never be mature, not even when I'm 95.

Oh wow - I guess I'm not mature at all. I love this skit in particular...

DAMN - I can't bring it up. But check out Fartin' Gary from Mr. Show on You Tube. I think it's hilarious.



I may have matured physically, but I think it's my sense of humor that hopefully keeps me young.

You are saying that women are more mature?



Have you ever been around a woman before?



I find women to be completely irrational and emotion driven.

because they know that feminists had no ability to shape men's maturity. When you mature you'll see that!

Well, being "mature" is a broad and subjective term. In my opinion it means someone who is a responsible and self-suffcient adult.

Biologically, it would be so that the female could choose a good mate, thus ensuring healthy offspring.

When is the last time you met a 20-year-old woman who thought fart jokes were funny? There wasn't much "shaping" required on the part of feminists.
