Wow. Until I saw this I didn't think there was an actual number attached to change.
But you have to remember that like men, some women’s turning points are not around the same frame and may begin earlier or later depending on life’s circumstances…remember experiences make for memories and changes. That’s why we live and we learn (we hope).
As for me, I have special circumstances that make me unique from some situations most 20 year-olds would have. However, in my early 20s, after my 'great awakening' with the father of my little girl, (realizing the kind of person he really is and moving forward to re-construct my life prior to meeting him) I still saw myself as young and I knew I wasn't mature, not irresponsible – big difference - but immature as in what it really means to be a mature adult. I did not have a true sense of what my life should be and what I can do with it. I knew there were experiences I had not discovered and learned from and I had to go out there and find them. I had not yet realized my potential and my abilities. I had many dreams. Now in my late 20s and I have moved from dreaming to taking the steps of making them come true. And the thresh hold seems to be around 25.
I met the most wonderful partner at that time and have been growing since. He allowed me to grow with him, and like ever pair, we have our ups and downs but we are the best of friends. I met him shortly after turning 25 and by 26 we were inseparable. Since then, my life suddenly started changing and I began perceiving things differently. More thought goes into a lot of decisions these days and communication is a tool I learned is the most valuable part of a person.
I think men also begin to change, but the process starts as they approach their 30s and once in their 30s they really start looking at themselves and what they are doing and what they need for themselves to carry on with their lives. It doesn't happen to all men, but for a good majority, they start realizing many things too. :) Remember, change is usually due to things that happen in each person’s life and their personal views on it. Some things can alter views and therefore change happens. It all depends on living.
Be merry & cheers!

I'm 29, and I find that while I did mature, I've stayed very much the same person since my late teens. I started dating my husband when I was 16, and we've remained compatible. I know this isn't true of all women, and probably not for the majority.

I did not change at that age, but I was always a little more mature than other girls. I was 23 when the man I loved for four years married me and 25 years later we are still married.

For me, it wasn't until around 30 that things changed.
