I guess this is growing up...
by OK, I can't find a good forum to put this in...but it needs to be said...guys mature WAAAAAAY faster than girls. Seriously. By the time a guy is 21, he's moved on with his life..girls, in general, still don't know what they want...they think getting married is a goal...i'm not saying that all guys are mature, but most of them have at least halfway decent jobs, and stop spending money on silly things like making their cars go faster...these are just my thoughts. You won't catch a guy gossiping at age 21.

Um... I'm not going to say who I think matures faster, although I KNOW who does, but I will say this, that I had a boyfriend (even during and after age 21) who did almost nothing but gossip. Drove me INSANE.
haha, wow thats an oddity...
I think in the younger years, like, 13-14-15 girls are DEFIATELY more mature than guys..but..once you get passed the like 18-20 age range, it kinda evens out almost...but, it's too varied to generalize, I know some guys who're 20 & act like their 40(not to mention look like they're 50)...and other's who're 23 & act like their 11.(& some girls who're 16 who look like they're 25, that's really not cool @ all)..I think we get a bad rap just cause'a the whole video game thing..(which I've never really been crazy into although I don't condem it)...but, guys are to video games as girls are to sensless apparel shopping!!..both sexes have their faults!
actually, research has shown that more girls play video games than guys. o_O
yeah, ok, because "barbie's malibu surf adventure" sold all of two copies, compared to "Mortal Combat 4: Death Match", which only sold 1 copy.
yeah, WHAT research are you talking about?..haha..go into a video game store one day..it's DEVOID of estrogen, you will find NO females, maybe some on the outside looking in and pointing, laughing saying "look at the geeks"..but that's about it
*ahem*
this story from 2003 http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/fun.games/08/27/games.women.reut/

hmm..until a nation wide census is done, I will NOT be convinced..lol..
i actually believe that research because i'm sure women play video games but just don't admit it. If they did then they wouldn't have anything to call us immature about (Ok except for the guys that scratch themselves and pick their nose, etc...), so they go on acting like they don't and shout us out for it...
its common knowlege that girls mature faster then guys.
What happened to you?
i beat dan hill at a race the time he was a girl, thats what happened
Right on!! Actually, if you look at some of the girls in my area, that's not exactly true.....it takes a while for either gender.
eh, no rush....i say there is plenty of time to grow up. But girls still do ussually mature faster.
girls have a little "up" on the guys for this. They mature a little faster, but as far as gossip goes, men have an inner "chick" in them. I have 2 very close male friends and those boys can gossip like NO other! lol
an elder told me some guys stop maturing at 25 years old. he says it's pretty rare.
And even then they still act like they're 15 soo
oh dan...what are you talking about? do you even know? maturity is not based on guys vs. girls. it varies from person to person
i do SO know! people are always saying..."it is ok for a 21 year old guy to date an 18 year old girl, becuase girls mature WAAAY faster than boys"...well, i got news! that's BS!
I would like to take this time to quote Dan, "i do SO know!" --> spoken like a true man.
you wouldn't have been convinced i knew what i was talking about if i hadn't said that!
it might be BS, it might not...depends on the people. i know young guys who are very responsible and mature, and young guys who are really freakin stupid. same goes for girls. AND, people can be mature in some ways and still naive or inexperienced or immature in others. so, you do NOT know, you're just generalizing. ha! i'm mad at you now for even starting this forum.
most girls that i know won't date a guy thats even a yr or 2 younger then them...personally,i think thats a bit stupid...but whatever floats their boat
ok..for the last time...courtney, i am NOT going to date you...you're too short, too old, and too slow...I BEAT YOU RACING! there were SOOOO many witnesses...the only reason you won the 2nd time was that i gave you a 30 foot head start...and the race wasn't long enough for me to catch up.
no comment
what about if the guy is 9 or 10 years younger? how about then? there's some pretty hot looking 9 year olds around.
Yeah..but you will catch him:
-going home to get his mom to do his laundry, if he's moved out.
-playing video games in large groups only in boxers.
-still trying to figure the complex minds of women out.
ahhhh yes. i have marked your post as informative. BUT-
you will find women
-afraid to go to the bathrooms by themselves
-spending ridiculous amounts of money on shoes that hurt their feet
-waving around the controller when trying to play video games
-spending more time complaining about a lack of mature guys than actually looking for one
-eating something called "fondue" at something called a "Candle party"
you're jealous cus you don't have anyone to talk to in the bathroom
lol i would mark this funny!
most of those things are things women have always and will always do. so get over it. if you're looking for a "woman" than accept the facts.
that's funny because, most guys who get married and are extremely happy with their wives--wouldn't say they've completely figured out the mind of their mate. they just peacefully coexist and don't overdramatized anything. it's like perpetual, passionate, happy damage control!
1-women run to their mothers for emotional support like they are 5 if they break a fingernail after they move out and are married.
2-we do and it's great
3-women are still trying to figure out how to get a guy away from his friends and control him so...anyway i'm venting...
hmm... well ill admit that i go home to do my laundry, but I DO IT! not my mom... just cause, i dont wanna have to fight the old women for dryers at my complex... and i dont EVER play video games in my boxers... just naked. And i dont care HOW mature you get, NO ONE will EVER get the way woman think.. its on a separate plane...
