anyways that is just my opinion.and i am totally speaking in generalities. |
so you measure maturity by whether or not you've gone to a bar and been stupid?
i definately don't understand that.

Seriously though, if we're using that whole "girl's mature faster" bullshit, it's really a problem when a guy is that emotionally stunted that he is in line with 17 yr old. That line of thinking applies to teenagers (12-17), maybe. But if there is a 23 yr old dude out there, there is absolutely no reason why he should be at the maturity level of a 17 yr old girl. And I have never met a 17 yr old girl who is at the same maturity level of a 23 yr old, no matter how mature she thinks she is. Things change a lot once you're out of high school spectrum.
edit: I don't mean any of this badly, and I'm not saying 17 yr old girls can't be mature (because clearly there are lots who are), but things really change dramatically over the first few yrs in college, or whatever.

Not to be argumentative, but by the time I was 17 I had already graduated high school and had been living on my own /traveling / employed and handling my own affairs for over a year.
I'm not saying I had complete emotional maturity mastered at that age, but I think that I knew my own mind.
And ( a decade later) , I met my future husband when I was 27 and he was 17. So yeah, I'm still going with the theory that it depends entirely on the circumstances and the people. |

Yeah and I'd say that is a completely different set of circumstances definitely, but these are all the things that most 17 yr olds haven't experienced. I'm making a blanket statement about kids in high school still.
I mean whatever, I don't feel like even talking about this anymore. If I had a sister in high school who brought home a 23 yr old...I'm just saying that I'd be weirded out and suspcious.
