Probably the likelihood is right around the same level as a woman admitting that men are stronger, faster, better drivers, more ambitious, and more self confident than women are.

As for the OPs question, that is nonsense. Men don't mature faster, either, from what I can tell.

oh so men and women aren't 100% equal? this shocks me. :Q
actually, i'll be the first to admit there are real differences between the sexes no matter how hard some fight to claim we are totally equal.

That's because Mosh isn't some unconfident, incompetent, shameless hussy.

I'm merely pointing out that it's stupid to claim there's no man that's going to admit women mature faster than men. If someone can post an even vaguely scientific study to back it up, I'll happily agree with that statement, I try to avoid going by anecdotal evidence whenever possible.

Just like you're not going to bother fighting me on the claims I've made above, unlike 99.9999% of women out there who will go to their graves kicking and screaming that any perceived areas men are better in is simply a by product of the systematic oppression of women by the Evil Male Conspiracy.

Maturing faster does not mean more mature. Plenty of people never mature very much in a psychological sense, they stay irresponsible for their entire lives. Different life experiences also change one's maturity level.

It's more or less proven (from a cognitive and psychological standpoint). The only thing you could really argue effectively is what constitutes 'maturity'.

Mainly because you can't make that statement.

It's a ridiculous blanket statement.

Growing up, I was much more mature than most everyone I knew, men and women in my age group.

So you can't just say that as if all women mature faster.

Also I know some women my age who are still very immature, it's ridiculous.

so you are saying i am right. :p

No. I'm not admitting it because it isn't true. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it isn't, but you can't say that about all men and all women.

new topic: Why is it so hard for men to admit women are right?

because women always define whats right on their OWN terms.

EDIT: I will agree that women tend to mature faster as long as it doesn't involve anything related to MEN or require compromise.

How do you accurately quantify maturity?

Women will mature faster than men 'emotionally', they are also more emotional beings than men.
Women will typically never be a logical or analytical as men.

I'm not sure how you compare maturity levels of two very different beings. I'm not sure how you measure maturity at all.
Maturity is little more than a societal standard.

Start by asking a woman, she might not have the slightest clue HOW to define mature, but she'll damn right tell you when you aren't.

Ain't that the truth.

Pfft. Maturity is subjective and relative, anyway.

No, in my experience, women do not "mature faster" than men. They both seem to change into something less and more stupid at the same time (my meaning is that people only become a different kind of stupid as they grow older), at an equal pace.

There's something to be said about being able to grow another human being inside you. Woman have another gear that kicks in that men don't have. The ability to care after another human being (be it your own, or a sibling) is something that a 16 year old boy isn't capable of doing.

A 16 year old girl isn't cable of doing that, either. Being pregnant is one thing, caring for a child is something else entirely.

I laughed at this... am I technically laughing at a dick joke? It was a joke and dicks were involved...
