At some point, girls are going to direct their interest in being attractive. Because the TV tells them to wear makeup, do their hair a certain way, wear this and that, etc. to look beautiful or to look and feel better, the pressure is going to come to them sooner and probably harder than males. Bathroom jokes are not attractive and may even be embarrassing to a girl if someone around them is telling them, so it's not hard to hold in a laugh.

Maturity is based on how you live your life and your own personal experiences. I know girls in high school who are immature as fuck--thinking it's hilarious to talk shit about someone behind their back, fuck them over emotionally, and so on, while some boys don't even find that tolerable in a human being. I don't think maturity has anything to do with gender.

What do you think? I will admit right now though that I judge anyone who thinks it does and feels that it makes them look ignorant.
 
I think both are immiture till they can rationally think.
 
Are we talking physically or emotionally? Because every person matures emotionally at a different time. Like you said, some girls are immature into their twenties, or even thirties, whereas some boys grow up fast (often out of necessity).

But in terms of physically maturing, the vast majority of the time, the average girl will hit puberty before the average boy. That's why at a given age, girls are taller, until around middle school or so, when the boys start really growing.

I'm definitely talking emotionally here. I didn't think I needed to point that one out.
 
I thought you meant emotionally. C: Like I said above, I determin a person's maturity on how they act. Like for example, girls in school making fun of other girls isn't about their maturity. Hint, woman are going to do that FAR down the road, too. Just like how immiturity for boys can be them overly-obsessed with sex or woman/guys(if they swing that way) but men will carry that "immaturity" up into their 40s.

Maturity is really something that can change from time to time, especially for the specific person at hand.

For insatnce, I've been told I'm very mature in a lot of ways, yet I'm terrified of the dark--some would say that makes me immature, but is that true completely? It takes lots of different objective views on different aspects of a person's life to determin their maturity.
 
I think women (well girls...) are more determined to SEEM grown up and mature at a younger age, but I wouldn't mistake that for actual maturity. I remember being 13-14 years old and while some of the girls in my class were so hellbent on being mature that they even insisted on buying adult bus tickets, us boys were busy fighting, playing football, and obsessing over sex. Looking back on that now, I think it's clear that we were all equally immature and just showed it in different ways.
 
Somebody wanna toss this guy out?

Immaturity is like the idle version of responsibility, when we have responsibility in our lives we have to act mature....yeah......Its when we are put in these situations and how we respond.

this is where a certain amount of teen bitchyness is compounded in teenagers, they have nothing more in there lives except there most basic desires boys and girls, but some respond well to responsibility and others dont.

Regular Teens are bound to like mucking around and picking on each other its just a part of growing up.....the worst case of Immaturity is when parents get involved, look at the cases where mothers have joined there daughters in picking on a girl online! WTF

Or Dads not holding there boys responsible for there actions? like smashing up a car or something, picking on weaker kid, maturity comes in the form of helping and setting boundaries.

There are many ways to see if someone is mature........Lets take 46&2 there lol
She says she is scared of the dark (haha).......but is this a crippling fear rendering 46&2 useless in the light deprived situations?

Or is it a child hood fear easily pushed aside because she has matured, in a dangerous situation like being alone in the dark and lost or being followed in the dark or sumthin,
logically 46&2 would help herself....which is another part of being mature.

Scared of the dark? really? lol

Your so called "truth" is contradictory to the Koran.

"(And their Lord hath heard them (and He saith): Lo! I suffer not the work of any worker, male or female, to be lost. Ye proceed one from another…) (Aal `Imran 3: 195)

3- She is equal to man in the pursuit of education and knowledge. When Islam enjoins the seeking of knowledge upon Muslims, it makes no distinction between man and woman. Almost fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad declared that the pursuit of knowledge is incumbent on every Muslim male and female. This declaration was very clear and was implemented by Muslims throughout history."

It really depends on the person. If you're looking at it from an angle that women care a great deal about their appearance then men are no different. They just happen to use less products. We are living in a society where attraction has standards (differs in cultures) and people (men and women) want to be validated in any way possible. Since we're visually stimulated creatures, it's no surprise a good number of men and women care about their looks. And it doesn't necessarily pertain to immaturity, it depends on what the individual prioritizes. I know we're not generalizing here. We're merely discussing on what's apparent in our everyday lives. But the fact of the matter is we're all different. Maturity depends on the individual, regardless of sex or gender.

"Men are superior to women on account of the qualities with which God has gifted the one above the other, and on account of the outlay they make from their substance for them. Virtuous women are obedient, careful, during the husband's absence, because God has of them been careful. But chide those for whose refractoriness you have cause to fear; remove them into beds apart, and scourge them: but if they are obedient to you, then seek not occasion against them: verily, Allah hu Akbar" 4:34

And so i ask who are you to quote the Koran to me? What is it you know of Islam?
 
Ok...so how did a thread about maturing end up talking about how women are supposedly inferior to men? I just don't get it...this isn't a religious issue people. I don't really give a shit what Islam says about women, or what Christianity says, or Judaism. We are all human, we are all equal. We're all born with the ability to think for ourselves. You're not going to rationally sit here and tell me that we aren't equal. Maturing is a fact of life. It doesn't matter what religion, race, creed, etc...everyone matures in some form.

Some people never fully mature and act like idiots their entire lives, yet others are practically born mature. Surely, on average, girls may mature a bit earlier than boys, but since the average doesn't hold true for 100% of boys and girls, it really doesn't matter. I personally feel that I have matured faster than over half of the girls I graduated high school with. And I have guy friends who are still relatively immature.

Then how come neither of my grandmothers do this? Sure, they judge someone for their actions if it's necessary, but I've never heard either of them once ramble on about how stupid girlfriend's haircut totally is. Hell, my mom doesn't even do that, and she's a fucken crazy bitch.

I'm not so sure that you believing girls making fun of other girls not being about their maturity is correct.
 
I think given that women use a period as an excuse to be an utter bitch for 5 days out of the month, shows bounds of how 'mature' we can be. :mokken:

Dude, what the hell. Do not know how to think? Need to be led?! Are you kidding me?! Are you tossing Qur'an quotes around to prove that women are inferior?!

The highest known IQ is held by a Woman.

Not every woman does. But lots do. And by lots, I MEAN A LOT. Sure your mother isn't making fun of their haircuts or clothes but that just means they will talk about other things. Like cars/houses/private information.

Now, now. I never said it isn't immature for girls to make fun of others, it's just not one of the main things that shows what maturity is.
 
Gosh lets net get into women vs men, though I believe we are not equal and that with some great work men might be catch up to women one day.

I think Terry said it already but biologically women hit puberty before men that's just how it works, though that has very little to do with the psychological element of it.

It's pretty much impossible to class either gender as maturing more quickly or slowly than the other, it really is impossible. Every single person thinks differently, handles things differently, and has different experiences that mature them or slow their maturing. You can choose as many stand alone cases as you like, of women being bitches in their forties or guys acting like locker room jerks in their fifties, but in the billions of people on the planet they count for nothing.

And the highest IQ ever held was by a man, so that means we are much smarter , dis r science
 
Its based on your own perspective
and how you act,no body hear can tell you your own maturity level because there is no such thing.......all we can do is form opinions on others actions and judge them to be "mature".........there is no set way, religious or other wise.


Chicks only use the "Period" excuse 5 days out of the month!?

Strange I thought it was longer........

Al you puppet!

No, really. It's a woman. Marilyn vos Savant with and IQ of 228. :mokken:

​
 
My apologies I know her IQ has been calculated differently but I incorrectly thought it to be 208 not 218 at is lowest estimate, whereas Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was 210. Though how mature does a high IQ make you, look at Einstein wit the things he got up to in his personal life.
 
Thats true, IQ does not mean mental maturity, its more a measure of insight and a persons ability to discern the truth about situations, and how the outcome of events may occur.

It by no means indicates higher Maturity.......in men or women
