I don't think girls mature faster than boys

[Harlequin]

Maturity to me is a combination of perception and conceptual thought. It's got nothing to do with physiological processes, most humans will barely mature in their lifetimes, hence the obvious mistakes many of us continue to make whilst knowing better.

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.

Well Keely..

I do feel girls do physically as well as emotionally, though only because they go through puberty sooner. I know anything sexual uncomfortably I laughed at till around the age of 12 /skeet skeet. Though seriously, I have seen a lot more "mature" women in my time at the age of 12-18 than I have men.

Just because girls have cliques and conform, doesn't mean anything maturity wise. I know folks who are 45 who still gossip like they were still in high school. It really is subjected to how you view maturity really.

For instance someone who has been dragged through the shit, is more likely to have wisdom beyond their years compared to someone who has not had to deal with anything. It is based on the individual really.

I just have seen far less mature boys at the ages of 12-18 than women. I'm not saying knowing sexual things makes you mature, I'm saying.. women want things that men want later on at that age. Hence why I think it appeals to women to date older fellas when in high school. That's my personal opinion though.
