Men grow up at 43 - 11 years later than women

[Jazzy]

A study into the differences in maturity between genders revealed both men and women agree men remain 'immature' well into their late 30s and early 40s.

But the average age at which women mature emerged as 32.

Both men and women agreed women reach proper maturity much earlier than guys, at the typical age of 32.

Men were nearly twice as likely to describe themselves as immature than were women with one in four men believing they are actively immature.

Women were also twice as likely as men to feel that they were the 'grown up' one in their current relationship.

Three in ten women have ended a relationship because they lost patience with the guy being too immature.

A whopping 46 per cent of women have had a relationship in which they felt they had to mother their partner a bit too much.

Okay guys: How many of those 30 Maturity Failings do you have and which ones?

 

[Evil Eye]

About 5 of them. You may guess, I won't confirm.

I take offence at their concept of maturity though. Some I agree with, 1 is definitely immature, however 2 seems to be less about maturity and more about a proper diet.
3 is just plain insulting especially when considering stuff like this.
6 is obnoxious, not necessarily immature.
9 might be wisest thing to do in some cases.
10 I sort of agree with, but if you're very rich you might just have had a cook all your life.
12, "enough about me, tell me more about you".
13, personal preference much? Personally, I like reading, are you saying I was mature at age 8 because I was reading? It's just not for everyone.
14 well... what if you're an entertainer?
15 and 16, sort of... seems more lazy than immature.
17, uhm... ok.
18, I'm sure collectors will enjoy hearing that. As well as everyone participating in the Tour de France.
20 isn't exactly fair to people who move around a lot (because of their spouse's job for example).
25, it's more mature to sleep naked? I'm sure the neighbours will like that.

I could think of arguments for the rest as well, but they'd be pretty bad

I play video games until the day I die. In other words, I'll never mature.

So verdict?

 

[Evil Eye]

So verdict?

You are 23% immature by these standards!

 

[KratomPW]

This "study" is grossely flawed in so many ways it's not even funny...

Mature level has a lot to do with the way you are brought up too as well as other factors in ones life...

This person knows what they're talking about.

I believe maturity is all about how you treat other people. I don't think maturity has as much to do with behavior/habits that you have.

 

[Evil Eye]

Huh? I'm lost, sorry...

They're agreeing with you

 

[Evil Eye]

I know! That's why I'm lost...

<.< Don't ruin it now.

 

[Crusader]

Probably about 16 of them

 

[seasidemike]

well as they say:
'aging is mandatory
maturing is optional'
