Question

crazy8000 · Accepted Answer

Not really!
Most female's I have stumbled in to and observed are immature as hell and takes longer. they begin to mentaly and emotionally mature around 40 many times.
The funny thing is it's a lot of front building to hide it and blaming the other side.
Many times in yunger ages they are narrow minded with one sided relationship attitude focus manly on themselves and what he shall do in the name of two sided something.
Blaming he only think on himself (when she is mostly doing it), I'm the only one that gives (there she mostly uses refer to let him fuck her), he never compensates (he is the only one doing real competition, she either doesn't do any or fabricates thing's to compensate to get away with to compensate uncomfortable thing's and she must chose what he and herself what shall compensate), shange him (or what many calls it, improve, but she is perfect by nature attitude), shall get away with her shit otherwise he is a a-hole prick... and so on, what she says is right even if she is wrong she is right attitude...
He shall take initiative (this one is in progress to change).

Can go on more than what the comment allows to be written.

Most of them, yes.
That's actually why I've preferred to spend time with girls when I was in my early-to-mid 20s because they acted like adults while most guys I knew still acted like immature knuckleheads. At the age I am now, there are fortunately no significant differences anymore.

Yes. I think part of this is due to biology, as our bodies and brains both mature more quickly, however I think it has to do with society as well. As society dictates, boys are 'supposed' to be more immature. They're expected to horse around and do dumb shit. Whether this makes guys be immature for longer, or doesn't allow girls to be immature for long enough I'm not sure, but I definitely think there is a difference. That being said, every matures at a different rate, so there are outliers, but I think on average girls mature faster.

Humans are programmed to mature mentally and emotionally and physically and spiritually - if they are immature - it might mean that something stunted their emotional development - however obstacles are temporary when you learn how to remove them.

I think it was the case till a few years, maybe even a decade ago. And it had nothing to do with overall intelligence of the genders in my opinion. People are equally intelligent, or at least capable of being as intelligent as everyone else. What I think caused girls to mature faster was their position in the society. Before feminism went all toxic and turned into feminazism, girls and boys were all treated differently. The belief was passed down through centuries that males were the dominant gender so boys got the special treatment. Girls faced hard judgements and everything, lost their childhoods earlier than boys and therefore matured faster. Now, after the fight for gender equality has been turned into fight for female dominance by feminazis, girls are getting the special treatment and boys are maturing just as fast as girls in earlier days.

I could be wrong, this is all just my theory based on society's psychology. I hope I don't offend anyone so I think it's best if I go anonymous. Hold no grudges, I've always believed in equality and I'll always believe in it.

AthenaCykes · Answer

While lots of parents do tolerate immature behavior less in their daughters than they do in their sons, I have to say it really does depend on the individual. I mean, my sister is twice my age and yet she acts like a teenager who thinks they’re “invincible”. Lol.

Kurαȷ · Answer

If women mature faster, I'm keen on knowing what it is that they mature in.
Personally, I consider "maturity" to be the ability to employ critical thinking and make decisions based on logic rather than emotions.
And, in my experience, this is an ability that women rarely develop, in general.

Hagen1987 · Answer

I work as a tutor for schoolkids ranging from 9 years to ~20. For what I experienced, girls mature earlier both physically and mentally. But once they start puperty everyone matures in their own speed. I teach a 3rd grade girl who at times make you believe she is adult because how clearly she communicates. But at the same time I teach girls who are 16 and act like kids. For most boys its harder to tell where they stand because they either try to play the alpha male or they keep their mind more to them selfs. I mean boys dont start to dress different. Maybe a female teacher could tell the difference for boys due to changes in their behavior towards the opposite sex

Benedek38 · Answer

Yes, but not in the way you would imagine.
Boys enter puberty a good 1-1.5 years later than girls on average.
That's it. By their 18th birthday, these difference shrink to nonexistence.

The answers saying guys are immature... yeah, those are either cultural problems, or just regular manbashing.

Pizza_lover159 · Answer

No. Actually they try to act mature. Start to smoke and dress like w#ores to get attention and then call themself "Queen". At 14 I was reading books or went to my friends house. Today. 14 yo girls look like 24. Pounds of makeup. Fake eyelash , fake hair , and they wear huge push up bra but have nothing underneath if you know what I mean :).

ImagineSketchy · Answer

Mentally they do mature faster. There's an average difference between men and women when it comes to maturity. It does differ individually, which is why I mentioned the average. Some women take some time to mature. I've met my fair share of immature women.

elite665 · Answer

Yes they do that’s why in high school there is that faze where guys are still fucking around and girls just sit there rolling there eyes like damn these guys are stupid but eventually they find it attractive and when guy and girls start hiring it off the maturity rubs off on em

jeremythedrummer · Answer

Hmm. I think this is more subjective to the person instead of the gender. I've seen young people here who are mature in their thinking, and older users who are childish. So there is no definite answer.

Physically and psychologically usually girls mature fastee though.

000_000 · Answer

Yes, but not the way everyone thinks. Girls go through puberty faster and get their adult bodies before guys do. People get the wording mixed up. They mature faster as in develop physically faster. Their brain does change too but that’s not the same thing as saying they grow up faster. Thats something that varies from person to person

GreatnessBack · Answer

I read somewhere that when people talk about maturity, they mean sexual maturity, in other words, when a person looks attractive enough to... bang.
So, in terms of teens, 15 year old girls are more 'mature' than 15 year old boys on average (think Disney princesses, ALL OF THEM ARE YOUNGER THAN 18)

So, yes, girls 'mature' faster than boys.

Anon-ymous1 · Answer

No. I think they *tell themselves* that they do. Yet merely saying something doesn't make it true.

Did you notice how, whenever someone says "girls mature faster than boys," they don't ever actually follow it up with any kind of details or substance or specifics about what that actually means? Gee... I wonder why.

ericclayton · Answer

It's funny how many of the female users bring up "It's a scientific fact" that this is true, while bringing up no sources to confirm it. It's all subjective anyway.

Boy's immaturity is more obvious only because they're more aggressive. Both sexes don't mature mentally until the mid-20s.

Aynsof · Answer

No I don't really believe so
But it is a tricky question
What constitutes mature? Are the standards the same for a girl being mature as a boy? Are there social dynamics that puts one gender in situations where they must act mature more than the other? Are we even talking behavior and reasoning? Or are we talking biological physical development? So many things that really needs to be defined before one can truly answer the question

Neph216 · Answer

Girls go through more potential mates from a much earlier age than most males on average. It's because of this selection process they go through that they are forced to recognize when someone's being nice to get something in return, how quick their social status can change and how to adapt to such a fluid social enviroment. Males dont go through this in general as male interactions tends to be very basic and to the point.

passinby · Answer

Biologically they do no doubt, but socially I am starting to think they degrade from maturity early on now until they find themselves again at about 30+.

Ellie-V · Answer

For the most part, yes. But there’s still the cluster of dumb barbies out here.

MrOracle · Answer

In emotional maturity, most women pull ahead around the onset of puberty (11 or 12) and stay ahead until their early 20s, when men start to catch up. At least, this is how it is in Western culture - elsewhere may be different.

Anonymous · Answer

Girls stop maturing faster. They get stuck in that late-teen mentality for about 20 years.

Men take longer because we mature farther. It takes a lot more time to be truly self-sufficient than it does to figure out how to get someone else to provide for you.

You ladies are gonna start understanding that soon enough, though. As more men start seeing things for what they are, more women will be left to fend for themselves.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

I believe that most of us do, I certainly did. When I compare it, girls at the age of 24 are ready to have children and stuff while guys are still childish.
