Are girls really more mature than boys or is it just a stereotype?

Question

I read on thevalkyrie about a little sister that's 14 and she was babysitting her 16 year old brother because he got caught smoking so when the parents went on some 2 month trip they put the little sister Debbie in charge of babysitting her OLDER brother and she abused that power by making him drink hot sauce, eat cigarette ache and put him in a diaper. He was so scared of his parents punishment so he did all those things!! I don't know but i bet the family was like mormons or some other christianity cult thing, no way i would let my little sister put me in a diaper i would rather die.

Why do parents always trust girls over guys? I know as a guy i would do the same because i was reckless and didn't take much responsibility as a teenager, my sister though was perfect she knew how to cock food and be mommies little helper i was kind of the black sheep and more immature we always fought and i always won because boys are stronger and that's not a stereotype but facts-

I think women are trained to be more compliant which takes maturity because serving others requires more effort than serving yourself. If a woman is sick, she is taught to hide in her room and if a man is sick, he is taught to ask his mom and dad and sister and girlfriend for help around the house.

There are hard scientific studies that women emotionally mature faster then boys when they are young. There is a world of difference between an average 16 year old girl vs an average 16 year old boy. Most 16 year old girls are biologically and psychologically young women. Most 16 year old boys still have a long ways to becoming young men. There has also been debates about starting boys later in grade school given girls have an advantage.

However I truly believe men eventually pass up women on emotional maturity “ceilings” as they progress into adulthood. This is because I really believe that women are generally more emotionally impressionable then men in adulthood when all is equal (age, background, upbringing, etc). It’s the “sexist” truth.

It takes high emotional IQ when making difficult yet important decisions using your brain vs your heart. Men feel the exact same emotions that women when it comes to this. However we generally can control emotions better then women because we have to. We use logic because logic usually determines better long term results.

This is especially true for major life decisions such as careers, living arrangements, work/life “balance”, political affiliation/voting decisions , etc. which require both logical and emotional thinking.

However I will admit that men who have less control over their emotions can be more dangerous then women (men committing violent crimes out of anger). But again for society to function most men have to keep their cool and they generally do.

Now there are always exceptions to the rule either way here. But I truly believe above from my life’s observations.

I think girls mature faster than boys for a specific biological reason. A female's ability to conceive offspring after the age of 30 declines rapidly whereas a man's does not. So female humans have a relatively short window to conceive children.

Therefore women have a built in biological clock that induces them to "get down to adult business" at a much earlier age while there is still time to reproduce (which is of course the most important act of the human species to ensure its survival).

So nature equipped women with the mental accommodation of maturity at an earlier age to help ensure the survival of the species. They just don't have as much time to waste on being free spirited and fancy free as men do.

I wouldn't say gender plays a role really. Genetics and the environment you are raised in forms the individual. in my opinion I'm more light hearted. Far more online, I get it out of my system online so my family gets the mellow me.

I'd post this GIF twice. People need to think twice about who matures faster.

I still remember 20-something year old girls (or grown women at this point) being addicted to their phones, social media, getting likes and follows and their endless gobbling of attention. And wanting our passwords too! And anyone, that says "i don't use social media" is to them a liar or a killer. Crazy!

Tell me again who matures faster than who? Hey, my eyes are up here, not on your display!

The media has been pushing misandrist lies for decades. The truth is men are inherently more mature because we have far more control over pur emotions than women do. Women also stop maturing the second they realize they can benefit from their sexuality or appearance.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

That’s a stereotype that has been used to abuse girls. Our bodies might mature 1-2 year earlier but our mind is not any mature than a boy our age or 1-2 year older.

It's a stereotype because women learn to use and manipulate people very early on. Men on the other hand tend to be very direct and confrontational. It's not typically till men meet women that they start learning the art of manipulation. Even then they're AT LEAST a decade behind her in that experience. So it just gives the appearance women are more mature. Women unless she currently controlled by her emotions she's usually at least 3 chess moves ahead of him.

I think the stereotype stems from periods, it forces a mindshift change - its a rite of passage all girls go through. With that said, it only really applies to girls 10 - 25, after 25, I believe men mature faster.

_piotr · Answer

Because most women are calculating, cold-hearted and does not experience strong sexual tension towards other gender, they appear to be more rational, thus more mature.

SolitarySolace · Answer

It is an absolute stereotype. But I’m not surprised people believe it. Can’t criticize women without being demonized even though all men are demonized and apparently that’s totally fine.

Mileage varies. In some families the son is trusted more than the daughter

dolemite58 · Answer

Girls mature physically faster, but they’re not more mentally mature than guys at all. They like to put on a facade that they’re more mature and ladylike but they’re not. Girls are just as gross and weird as guys are if not more so 😂

XXblack88 · Answer

I think 🤔 it depends on the individual more then their gender.

OddBeMe · Answer

Appears research of children around puberty have seen this phenomena. It’s not surprising…even now I’m thinking about sex and can’t remember your question.

Of course they are! At least, until they get to be 16 or 17. But, maybe it's just a case of boys taking longer to get smarter than girls.
