Answer 3

Some people think that during the teen years that girls become emotionally mature faster than boys. So that a 17 year old girl would most like to date a 20 year old boy. I personally never saw that in my life. When I was 18 or 19 y/o I was always interested in young women in their early 20's as the girls my age, seemed to act kind of silly.

50 years ago when I was 13 y/o, 70 to 80% of girls got married right after their high school graduation. That may have added to the idea that girls matured faster.

There is no difference in the way that men and women age. If you want to look youthful longer: don't smoke, drink seldom, and stay out of the sun unless you have a good sunscreen on. Those are the things that cause the most wrinkles. Get good aerobic exercise and don't overeat.

Answer 4

Actually, women in developed countries matures faster physically. Not so much because of better nutrition as because of (generally female) growth hormones in the most commonly consumed beverage for preteens, milk. You may notice in so-called third world countries that it's much harder to tell a younger woman's age because it's not uncommon to see a sixteen-eighteen year old that looks about twelve or thirteen by our standards. That's not genetics, friends.

As far as mental maturity...Hmm. Well, I've always heard that women mature faster than men, but I've also noticed that it's the most immature that think they are all grown up. Yes, most of the girls/women that I've known act quite immature for their age. There is maybe a third of girls/women I've known that actually act their age. When I say mature, I don't mean that they have boyfriends and are putting make-up on. I mean that they don't act childish, selfish, and unrealistic. Sorry, but it's true.

If it makes you feel better, I can't say much more for many of the men I've known. I don't think you can make a rule of that. Just take it on an individual basis.

Answer 5

I hear that women mature faster, but I really think it depends on the person. I've known men that were just as mature as a women there age. Physically however, I've noticed that some girls do tend to blossom at a younger age then boys especally now that girls are growing up a lot faster then they did when I was little.

Answer 6

well first of all, the mental age of a person is not determined by one's sex, but rather by their upbringing, Woman, having to deal with things such as becoming pregant have more responibitly shoved upon them before puberity, more or less 3 years. As far as aging goes, that has a lot to do with an unlikly sourse, Make-up, the chemicals make you age faster, when girls are younger they wear more make up, destroying their natural skin, as they get older, they wear less, but now with the true skin showing they appear to have aged much faster

Answer 8

It varies I have dated much younger women than me that were more mature than I am now so I wouldn't agree with the three year rule as the last time she was eight years younger. Boys tend to be less mature by nature but not always.
-NmD!

Answer 9

So that makes a 6 year age gap... that doesn't make sense, cause my wife of 25yo bought herself a hoola hoop and sticker making machine the other day... I spend my free time reading books on philosophy and religion and we are the same age.
So there goes your theory. Although, i'd say that generally that is about right, 3 years...

Answer 10

Men hold back their intelligence, so they seem to be less mature than girls at most given ages. But the truth comes out in old age - men die sooner, and it's because of all that pent-up worry about the ladies - we really want you to feel superior, but sometimes it's so painful to hold the truth in.

Answer 11

It may be true but I think most of the time boys know much more then girls. If you look at the social group for example all girls talking and all boys. I think that girls are boring. They talk about shopping , dating , guys. I like guys but I still don't talk about them all the time.
