What is your opinion on the belief that girls mature faster than boys?

[Trials&Tribulations91]

Imo that's some old school nonsense, man. It ain't about boys or girls "maturing" faster. It's about individuals plain and simple. Every person's got their own pace, their own journey. Trying to put a gender on maturity is just a lazy way to explain away differences in behavior.

It’s rooted in pedophilia.

 

[Remote]

Biologically it's true.

But I'm not sure what there is to be gained debating about who matures earlier mentally or emotionally.

Seems like whining.

Females physically mature faster than males. That's why it's normal for some girls to reach their max height by like 13 or 14 compared to males who hit it generally speaking around 18. Somewhere down the line people thought it also means females mature mentally faster than males for whatever reason.

Elaborate

By early teens, females begin having menstrual cycles and take on challenges/responsibilities of that. Males of the same age are relatively carefree.

It’s rooted in pedophilia.

It’s used as an excuse to support that behavior, not rooted in it

 

[Max Power]

They reach puberty faster than boys, it's not that complex.

I thought this was common knowledge.

I love how in denial some of ya'll are

When we were in Middle school most, if not all the girls were either the same size, or bigger than the boys. When we got to high school, biology started to run its course and that was the end of that. Meanwhile you have a bunch of adult sized toddlers running around playing stupid pranks on each other, ripping drawls , and talking about video games, trading pokemon cards or whatever else the fukk you were into that are INVISIBLE to most of the females of the same age, because you were immature as hell. That's why they were dating seniors, and upperclass girls were dating college dudes.

No.

Certain things/traits are shared among genders, age group etc.

You cats take individualism too far.

And yes, women grow up faster

 

[Ohene]

Physically yes
Emotionally/mentally no
Most women don’t ever really mature

also the fact that, boys their age are not able to get them the shyt they want, which causes them to get involved with older guys..

All of this is the reason I could not stand boys my age growing up. They used to annoy me so bad

I was always attracted boys older than me

I looked at them as kids until I got to college and felt I was on even ground

Nah, it’s rooted in it. Long before humankind understood any of the biological arguments, men have been fukking little girls as soon as they bleed.
