You always hear people say girls mature quicker then boys but I don't know if I really believe that.
I see girls all the time who act just as immature as boys their same age. "Girls" and "boys" act differently I admit, but I often view both sexes immature in their own right. Girls will act giddy and squeamish at a young age while boys act chauvinistic.
Is it because girls will often seek relationships for love at a young age while boys in general will seek relationships for sexual reasons?
What constitutes maturity?
Update: Judging from the responses given in the last 30 minutes I'm going to go out on a limb here and say most people agree with the general concept maturity is not dependent on sex but rather the individual.

Update: Which raises another question...
What is it that if the general conscientious is that maturity is dependent on the individual it's often said girl's mature quicker then boys? 23 days ago
Alright if we are going by science this is it and true: females have the upperhand in the youth of age for maturing quickly until college when the male normally supasses in IQ and ability to learn.
Females mature quickly but it's rather short lived - but that doesn't make them stupid or even close. Long as her goal is to be smart and not compete wth males as the 'supirior' sex then she will be just as smart throughout her life if not smarter.
But you have to also take into account that females and males are completly different and the same in many ways. Females might at a younger age and throguh life liek toys and cute things while a male should not and is expected to be mature and prove himself to others as a man and not a teenage runt.
It's truthfully based on the person more than anything, I like to look at it like this; you are yourself, what do you wish for? What do you want? Seek it and it will come true. Base this on your role in life.
I don't want a female to stand behind me, or infront of me - I want her at my side, my equal and nothing less.
So do you think woman or man of 100 years old mature? What about children of 5 years old compare to us the youth? Who makes mistake often ? Who plays the roles of disobey to their parents? What is your answer? A maturity is formed from what they had gone through in life. If say a teenager of 13 years old and he/she had gone through pain, suffering, lost and so forth since his/her childhood. I believe he/she will be matured and think like an adult before he/she reach 15 years old. therefore, maturity from what I understand is not measured from what is their gender or how old they are. It is the experience from their life; the hardship of they had gone through as I describe. It is to gone through the hard way of life then you earn an authentic maturity person and to not skip and run from the difficulty but pass through it then you'll become a wise person.
That is usually what people are referring too, that women seek love whilst men seek sex. However it does not necessarily mean that all young guys are immature - that's completely untrue. I think people say this because some younger guys tend to be lazy (which can also be "going with the flow" misinterpreted), want to stick their d*** in every cute girl they meet - which, yes, comes across as immature... Some young guys usually don't know how to react to emotions, and this can be seen as immature as well...
That answers the question what constitutes maturity but one question still remains. Which sex matures quicker? Your opinion, of course. - 23 days ago

I don't think maturity depends on gender, per se. I think it depends on the person and their personal life experiences - of which ultimately develop their maturity level and the way that they perceive life. - 23 days ago

I think girls, by far, mature faster. At 18, although these days, girls are getting more wild, they are still more mature than an 18 your BOY. I capitalize because at 18, they still act like they are 14 years old. By the time they are 21, they just starting to act like a 17 year old. Some guys are still 18 by the time they are 30 years old. While girls have moved on so far ahead of them.
In terms of maturity from birth, -Women are supercharged. -Men are turbocharged.
Early in Life, women have the low-end torque. So, of course, the women, with their crank-driven Stage-2 Superchargers, take off sideways making smoke on the track for men to eat as they floor it in 1st gear trying to catch up to the women, whom are boosting about 20psi solid.
The men have some catching up to do.
But wait, The men are now in 3rd gear and the Turbo is spooling. That exhaust flow-driven tool of aspiration has some lag to it, but now they're pulling on the women where the women's superchargers are starting to top out.
Soon, the men are pulling ahead whilst the women are still trying to get the last bit of power out of 3rd gear before shifting into 4th.
Once the women shift up, they make a jump forward and pass the men, if only for a second.
The turbo just keeps spooling for the men and as they reach the 4500 rpm mark in 4th gear, they start blasting ahead.
It's a constant battle, with either party gaining on the other in different ways.
What this drawn-out metaphor illustrates is that men and women mature in different stages and each surpasses the other at different stages in life because of the way they mature.
Girls are statistically better students on the primary educational level and are reportedly better behaved in class.
When middle school rolls around, both parties have developed an attraction for the other sex. How they display that attraction differs.
Girls are usually quicker to behave maturely about how they approach a boy they like. boys are often still stuck on picking on the girl they like.
Boys are, however, more likely to want to do sexual or adult-oriented things with girls at this age, whilst girls are commonly disgusted with idea of such a wretched thing. What nerve the boys have to suggest such putrid things to them. Why can't they just grow up?
But who is more mature about sexuality is arguable at this point. No one wins.
Moving into high school, the playing field is leveling out, but there are still major issues surrounding sexuality and relationships.
Some guys are horn dogs. Some girls are prudes. Some are sluts. Some girls have a different boyfriend every week. Some think they'll marry the one they're with. Some guys can't work up the nerve to talk to girls. Other guys work up the nerve to join gangs. And other still, drop out of school altogether. Some get scholarships. Some start out at Community College. Some choose trade school. Some don't know what they want to do after high school. Some are emotionally unstable. Some are emotionally oblivious.
As we grow older, it becomes more and more difficult to divide maturity along gender lines. Once we're no longer in the developmental stage the race is over.
It was a tie. Who was in the lead first or for longer is irrelevant if there can be no definitive winner.
We choose who we are as adults, and even the definition of maturity is arguable amongst adults. - 23 days ago

I liked that "Women are supercharged. Men are turbocharged.". Very original. - 23 days ago
Women have a more consistent and reliable power band while the guy has the potential to make more power, he's a lot more unstable and has the ability to blow up depending on who tuned his turbo.

I disagree.. women don't seek love.. I was the one seeking love and my whore ex girlfriend decided to leave me to become a one night stand queen. I'm all about settling down, and she's all about partying and looking cool on her Facebook. (we are both mid 20's by-the-way)
You seem to have missed the purpose of this post and the circumstances of the generalized statement I gave. Thanks for the opinion anyways. - 23 days ago
Girls are attracted to males before males are attracted to females in that aspect. Usually females know which job, and wedding they prefer when their younger too aswell what they want. Females are more likely to plan their future out better then men because men usually have 1 track minds, while a lot more females think more about their future. You could look at it that way.
That?s an interesting way of viewing things. I must be an anomaly then because I plan so far into the future that I?ve already planned both my retirement and my death. - 23 days ago
