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

[Commish]

Physically, sure...

Mentally??? I say cap!!

But, let's assume that women mature both physically and mentally/emotionally faster than men...

Men catches up at some point during the course of adulthood and in some to many cases surpass women..

I think there are many factors that come into play such as upbringing, cultural norms, environment and other circumstances..

I know that there are men and women who progress normally and both groups also lag behind..

My anecdotal experience brought me to assume that the average woman isn't mature, emotionally speaking. It may not be a fair assumption, but it is one nevertheless....

They just have to show it first before I believe it. No grace or benefit of the doubt is given by me. *shrugs*

This isn’t a new era thing nor about single moms. In fact, the emotional maturity of men was worse in the past, it’s gotten better as younger generations realize the folly of always telling boys to “suck it up” and “shake it off”

ok

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

we from two diff worlds dozen lol

tthe nikkas i know mostly try to deal with conflict head on and constructively - but complain about their women being passive aggressive/petulant. maybe they lying

I’m not gonna argue anecdotal incidents. Because I don’t know not one woman in my life who is incapable of addressing conflict without being petulant. Nor do I know 30 yr old+ women who act 16 as y’all said earlier ITT.

You wouldnt know because you havent dated them.

Women can be very mature at work, school, etc. when it comes to love , things that are more personal it is a very different topic. Theres a reason a lot of men in here cosign what i said. I have heard many women say they cant get along with women or dont know how men do it as if its a joke. But it isnt. I never hear men say that kinda thing about men lol. Men are relatively simple and straight forward

 

[Coco Loco]

What’s with all the negative remarks about women? Most women do mature, that’s clown shyt to say we don’t. Unless you’re messing with messy, juvenile women

That's exactly what it is. If I were to say men never grow up, still lie and play games like little boys, it would be choose better


You can't make this shyt up

 

[Lieutenant Daniels]

No, we’re not, women live a cold hard reality and most of us have to function at a high emotionally mature level to live our existences.

On what planet?

No red pill here but this is what I have observed in my 40yrs of life. Women have a big emotional support system between friends, simp men sucking up to them, family, coworkers, etc,. They never really have to face or live a “cold hard reality”. Society inherently places women in a perpetual victim complex and they get treated as such.

Men don’t have that luxury. As a man go crying to someone and see what happens . Now THATS a cold hard reality.

As a man you’re ALWAYS forced to process your emotions ALONE. That can lead to two outcomes, crash and burn or mature and grow. My observations align with @Ohene

 

[The Wolf Among You]

Physically, yes.
Mentally and emotionally, no.

This line of thinking has put a lot of young girls in danger, and has them taking on more than they can chew.
On an individual basis I’ve met boys and girls far beyond their years, but as a whole most boys and girls are on a similar level maturity wise.

 

[Matt504]

I like this "vibes" approach to science.

 

[Chrishaune]

It's part of your indoctrination in the West. Just an excuse to let women try to run men.

 

[Gloxina]

It’s rooted in pedophilia.

/thread


It’s important that MEN are the ones who call this shyt out.



It’s because sexual attention, for girls as a whole, starts much earlier. You have grown men who would gladly be with a 13, 14, 15YO because her body has developed, ignoring the fact that she isn’t mentally or emotionally prepared to deal with a grown man and what comes after that (a child, emotional intelligence, being able to recognize potential mental abuse, etc).

People say girls are more mature so that they don’t feel guilty lusting after them.

13/14YOs with developed bodies are still into the same kiddie things an undeveloped 12YO is into.

Any young girl acting “grown” is because grown men have already corrupted her thru abuse/molestation. It’s a sign of abuse. You can still see the innocence in 17/18YOs who have been shielded and haven’t been abused or haven’t had sex yet.

 

[Gloxina]

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

Correction ^^

 

[re'up]

It's societal/cultural not biological

but there's some interesting elements, like a lot of women are taught the kind of princess mentality. That isn't very mature. But they are also socialized about dangers way faster than boys, which makes them more mature in some ways.

Sexualization has a lot to do with it too. Like when I see 18 year olds, they look like kids to me, mostly, no matter how they are dressed. I wouldn't stare at them or sexualize them. They are young girls. They are kids. but the way men talk about them is not. Just the other night my Dad's old ass friends were commenting about some 18 year olds or 21 year olds, I didn't even glance at.

Reputational danger
How to dress
How to treat men
how to placate men (who may be dangerous)

especially a lot of the women I knew growing up, who were considered beautiful from a young age. what dangers are young boys really worred about? Losing a fight? getting bullied? but the answers to that are usually just be tougher.

Yeeeeea those are survival skills for a young, pretty girl


You ever seen dudes rage out on young women simply cuz those girls either didn’t give them play/cooperate or they didn’t even know wtf the guy was in their face in the first place




I remember camp counselors asking my year of birth and deciding not to acknowledge me after I answered and I didn’t get it. Another girl said “oh yea age of consent” and I didn’t know wtf she was talking about. Them dudes were definitely sleeping with the other girls at my fukking camp and I was a little too young for them to chance it and get reported and go to jail.


Bad shyt be happening out here man

Yes, women have an emotional support system becuase we’re raised to emotionally connect with people. That’s doesn’t negate the cold world we live in. You haven’t lived life as a woman so you don’t understand what’s cold and hard about it. Men are culpable for feeding the cycle of y’all not having emotional support outside of maybe your parents and spouse. A lot of men are crashing and burning because of lack of emotional maturity and connections

Women mature faster physically. When they biological clock starts, the majority of men around the same age group are not thinking that they need to reproduce to elongate their legacy. Them boys either watching porn or just fukin they schoolmates like it's nothing to it.

Mentally, males develop much quicker than females. How they process and apply knowledge depends or their upbringing and the company they keep.
Females can have the most suitable upbringing and/or supportive company, and still end up being a hoe or pregnant at 14. They also succumb much more often to popular opinions/ideas
