How come women mature faster than guys?

Question

I don't know why they mature faster little girls sometimes play with horses, castles, and fairies. But boys play with action figures.

My teachers told me that women mature faster but never gave a reason why they mature faster.

Answer 1

Guys only fertilize.
Women are responsible for child care.
That is how we evolved.

Answer 2

I think it's because (for most) we were given the gift of bearing children, therefore we mature at a faster rate. It doesn't mean that 13 year olds should be having children, but it happens early so that when they are emotionally able to handle a relationship, they will be ready to marry & bear a family. It takes several years for a girl to physically mature enough to handle the emotional side of bearing children. That's why most girls get involved with dolls and such. They are preparing for the time when they'll be a mom. Too often, they have a baby before the process is complete, so that now we have two children, instead of a mom & a baby. That's why it's best for guys to leave sex alone until they're emoitonally able to handle it, say around 21-25, after they're married. Yeah, yeah, go ahead and laugh. I know I'm old fashioned. But, that still works, no matter what anyone says. <*)))><

in this world everything is created base on difference, so mam and woman also are two creature that have to be different, and you can not say this aspect is better in man then man is better than woman, no just some illiterate people might say this. everybody are creature of God and respectable
if you want to ask this kind of question you can ask millions of question because this is not the only difference, there are Lot difference like this,
one of the answer for your question could be, men have penis and women have vagina, and vagina start it's sexuality faster than penis, so it causes women become mature faster than men

Answer 4

Biologically, women reach puberty before men. This is mostly responsible for the emotional and psychological changes. However, upbringing can affect one's maturity as well (nature vs. nurture).

Many parents, at least 20+ years ago, are more protective of their daughters than sons, so they instill different values in them. This may be why some women are more reserved than men.

Answer 5

Not to be judgemental, but maybe its because women are more 'emotional' and spitirual, whereas men are taught to be distant from themselves and true feelings. Thus they take longer, and it requires more work on their behalf, to have a grasp and understanding of themselves and feelings/actions etc.

Plus men dont get as much emotional support from others, ESPECIALLY men, who should be role models but are actually themselves desensitized....

Men are 'not supposed to be sensitive' so this extends to insensitivity to their pown thoughts and feelings, needs and wants....and since maturing is about becoming self-aware, how could it be accomplished so easily? ...It must be tough...

I have to add, your add'l details: How can you be so stereotypical in thinking?? You think action figures has anything to do with maturity??
You obviously have something against women. Otherwise you'dknow better than to resort to picking on what objects SOCIETY makes either sex play with, nd what roles SOCIETY expects each child to fulfill.
Hey, YOU onlyplay with action figures because that'sthe roles society wants you to fill as a male. You think you're superior -- well, youre EQUALLY SUBJECT to the SAME social pressures, buddy!

Women are born with motherly intuitions in them therefore they as a child begin to play house - in which playing house is a adult formation of their future in life with whom the may marry a man .

From their childhood experiences of playing house then going to school and learning there they do indeed have upto 7 yrs on men in maturity on many counts.

Answer 7

The reason is pretty simple: females mature faster than males because they are more important in the propagation of the species.

Answer 8

Psychological maturity seems to be closely related to the onset of puberty, which starts earlier on females than males. Another factor delaying maturity in males is the influence of testosterone that prompts males to engage in bravado and risk taking females lack (large amounts) of this hormone and so their brains act 'normally' sooner. For a male brain to reach the same status the end of puberty must be achieved.

--------
The onset of puberty varies across individuals and is slightly earlier for girls than it is for boys. On average, girls enter puberty at about age 12, whereas boys enter puberty at about age 14. About two years prior to the onset of puberty, both boys and girls experience the pre-pubertal stages when secondary sex characteristics begin to develop. For girls, this includes breast development, widening of the hips, pubic hair, and underarm hair. For boys, this includes enlarging of the testicles and penis, voice changes, facial hair, public hair, and underarm hair.

Research has shown that early or late maturation may have negative or positive developmental consequences for boys and girls. For girls, early maturation often has negative developmental consequences whereas late maturation (in comparison) may be more advantageous. For boys however, late maturation often has negative developmental consequences whereas early maturation (in comparison) is more advantageous.

Teens' experiences of puberty depends upon how informed they are (the more informed the better) and on culture. For example, in those cultures where puberty is "celebrated" through rites of passages, adolescents often have more positive experiences with puberty than in those cultures that don't have a rite of passage of some kind.

Answer 9

Blehhh save your stuffy adulthood. You dont might want to be mature to be a functioning man or woman, you dont might want to be mature to carry a job. Hell, you dont even might want to be mature to strengthen a family individuals. My dad raised us large, he replaced right into a stand-up dad, and he remains immature to on the present time, at fifty 3. And he will be immature in 30 years.

Answer 10

Maturation of the genders is a matter of design. From the beginning God intended woman to be an ezer (Heb. for "one who helps from a position of strength or superiority") to man. This would necessitate that she be one step ahead of the man in most ways.

Average men develop their upper body strength to a degree that average women do not. God told man that he would have to toil greatly from the ground to reap his food, so it's reasonable to assume that man's superior upper body strength is part of the design to fulfill his destiny of providing food from the ground.

So, in most every way women mature faster than men as a part of God's design to help men in most every way possible. Upper body physical strength is a matter of providing food for one's family.

Answer 11

females mature faster because they need to take care of all the abandoned children
