<p>I always thought that girls matured about two years quicker than guys…in terms of emotional maturity anyway. Didn’t some psychologist prove that?
Anyway, my friend swears that boys mature quicker than girls. On the whole though, I just don’t see how that’s possible, so please tell me what you think!!!</p>
<p>I’m a guy and i can definitely say that girls mature faster than boys. That does not mean that they are smarter or more capable, but in terms of emotions and human relationships, they do become more mature. That’s probably the reason why girls tend to date and marry older guys so that they are on the same level. </p>
<p>Good post.</p>
<p>Let me follow one generalization with another and see what you guys think as well. It seems that girls, while they mature faster, become more interested in the social aspects of life. Looking at my grade, there are more boys that seem to be interested in things career-wise, preparing for their future, and doing well in classes. Girls seem more interested in gossip and relationships with friends, guys, etc. I’m not trying to be sexist AT ALL here. I’m just offering a topic for discussion.</p>
<p>In my school, it’s the opposite. All the girls are very well prepared for colleges, are in charge of all our school clubs, participate in more sports, have higher GPAs, etc</p>
<p>The boys have been more concerned with winning money at poker, avoiding homework, and getting drunk. This year, they all went “oh crap it’s time to apply to college!” and all applied to the same group of liberal arts schools</p>
<p>I think it depends more on the person’s environment and how their family sets an example to them than anything else which determines whether they mature quicker or not. This should be true of both boys and girls.</p>
<p>i still agree that girls mature quicker. Boy tend to spend a lot of time chillin’ around. While girls like to date older guys. But still, there are a lot of girls who like to do the same as guys, party!!! and don’t seem to care much about what’s going on, so like Mediterranean said "it depends on how the parents set an example to them. Most girls are depressed that they tend to rely on guys for support of their age.</p>
<p>look at the rw/rr battle of the sexes…always…the dudes never have trouble when it comes to voting ppl off…its set…no drama…even the last episode…a person gave up his position for the team…whereas the chics are always complaining and filled with drama and soo childish…hmm…i guess it depends what your specifically referring to when u talk about maturity…physically, chics mature quicker…i dont know about the rest…</p>
<p>desi makes a good point…</p>
<p>I guess that is a good point…girls will always be more petty I think. But I’m mostly talking about like, bf/gf relationships. </p>
<p>Idk I do think that girls are more like underhanded and stuff like that, but a lot of times guys are thinking the same things and gossiping behind closed doors! LOL…also it seems like although chics can be catty w/people they don’t really like, they are more aware and concerned about their friends’ feelings and stuff like that. It just seems like girls have a more firm grasp on how they feel about things, even if that does mean arguing or being mean (like on battle of the sexes!).</p>
<p>in boarding school, the boys and girls were pretty much on the same level with each other with girls slightly ahead during freshman, sophomore and junior years. all but a handful of students were mature. in fact, the freshmen i met in boarding school were more mature than the seniors at the regular public HS i go to now. also, our seniors in boarding school were generally more mature and refined than the average teacher at my regular public hs, some of whom are not afraid to throw around words like f**k, who tolerate steroids for athletes, hit on students, and who could care less about what’s going on in the world. this is reality, after all.</p>
<p>i had no choice but to drop an elective class i thought i would like because the teacher was incompetent. she couldn’t for once be objective, which is very important to the study of current events. even worse, the students didn’t know any better and generally agreed with her. she was also too busy flirting with the seniors, saying things like she wished she had coached the boys’ volleyball team so she can spend some more time with the boys there. i was outraged at first, but i quickly realized it was reality.</p>
<p>when i get reprimanded for something trivial like being 5 seconds late, and the teacher loses her composure, i usually handle the situation quite well. i acknowledge my mistake and then proceed to question her professional character. in my opinion, teachers have no right to yell or do any of that because they’re not setting a good example that way. of course, i kindly ask the teacher to sit with the dean with me so she can spend some time reevaluating her career goals. she gets angry because i’m always calm and collected and the dean usually sides with me because my rationale is usually more sound.</p>
<p>to me…it sems like they dont have a firm grasp…because their opinions about ppl change 24/7…coral likes tonya one minute and hates her the next and that goes for every chic there…i like ruthie the best…i think she’s very mature</p>
<p>but look at mark and eric or randy and brad or those two guys from las vegas…they care about their friend’s feelings…that’s why mark let eric(the actual loser) stay and gave up his position…</p>
<p>I don’t think you can base your opinion solely on the show though because #1 the girls on the show are people who were picked because they thought they would cause drama aka immature people and #2 people like mark and eric are actually wayyy older than a lot of the girls, therefore even if they did “mature slower” it would be irrelevant cus they are so much older.</p>
<p>But I was thinking more in terms of people our age I guess–>high school people</p>
<p>hehe okay nicky…ill stop with the show</p>
