At what age does a man mature mentally?

Question

This is a very sophisticated question. I am 20 and I sometimes think I am very intellingent in certain areas, but at times, I seem to be very inexperienced in other areas of my life. And sometimes I dont even care about how much I know about life? What is the normal age for a man to know what his life is all about, excluding career and academic goals. So, I guess that would include his personal life and relationships with others. I sometimes think I am a know it all and then things come up that I have to seek guidance.

Answer 1

When they are in their grave.

Answer 2

This is probably not an answer to your question because I am only 21 and I am still trying to keep up with the environment that I am into. You will never be fully mature and do not compare yourself to woman because they think 25 years ahead of you. Being smart in school, book smart, street smart does not really make any difference. Maturity in life as to do with personality and willingness to ask for guidance when you are feeling claustrophobic in the environment that you are into. For example, I have a friend of mine and we are of the same age but he probably saw the day light before me. He hangs out with people that are twice his age and learn from their knowledge to gain more experience. Experience does not have to be a part of your life, you can learn from my mistakes, you can learn from anyone mistake and apply it to your life. A positive mind is extremely important because you cannot be mature without it. Think critically and must of all LISTEN, Look around, Know where you have been and maybe that will help you get where you should be. Don’t ignore a comment because you don’t like it, there is four sides of your life and you can only see two of them, therefore you need to rely on friends, family, and must of all strangers such as you boss, to find things about yourself. Only these people can tell you if you are responsible or not.

I am a retired professor of engineering. I have the
following material related to this topic:

(1) The Hindu texts have described several periods of
life time. Baalyam means childhood period upto 10 years
of age. The period between 10 years and 25 years is
called Koumaaram which roughly corresponds with
adolescence. Within this period, Kurra means the age of
16. This is called the age of eternity. Russian
scientists have found that if the control systems in
the body are maintained at the same level of efficiency
as they are at the age of 16 years, using some
machinery or electronic control system, a person can
live for 10000 years. The Puranas say that people in
Krita Yuga (the golden age according to esoteric texts)
lived for 10000 years. However contrary it may be, this
very age of eternity is also the age of commencement of
the period of gradual death. Some Hindu texts say that
there is divinity in children. The possible
interpretation of this line could be that this process
of gradual death does not touch children until they
reach the age of 16 years. (Most children who die
before the age of 16 are due to external factors,
malnutrition etc). This is verified by the fact that
the percentage of persons who die at the age of 16 are
the lowest compared to any other age. This fact
observed by ancestors went into fairy tales which say
that a princess will die on her 16th birthday. Modern
medicine has found that 'brain sand' starts forming in
the pineal gland after the age of 16. The pineal gland
is the third eye, and it is the seat of Mukya Prana
(chief life) according to ancient Yoga and Tantra
texts. Modern madicine found that a person can lead an
almost normal life evern if 30 to 40 percent of brain
matter is removed. But no person survives if the pineal
gland is removed.

(2) The pulse rate in a new born baby is about 140
beats per minute. This pulse rate gradually reduces
during the Koumaaram period and settles down to it's
stable value of 76 beats per minute after the age of 24
years. Different sects in the world have different
criteria to daclare a person to become a youth. The
Indian tradition says that a person becomes a youth on
his 25th birth day, taking the stable heat beat value
into consideration.

(3) Modern psychologists treat the period from 35 to 40
years as middle-age crisis period. Most of the people
may not feel much during this period. However for those
few persons who experience its full intensity, it will
be like a mini-death. In English, 'flourit' means the
age of dawning or flowering of wisdom;
it also means the age of 40.
(See a multi-volume dictionary in a library). Energy in
the body will be at its highest during the youth period
from 25 to 40 years of age.

(4) The age of 40 years is also called the age of maturity.
The word 'intellectual' refers to persons above this age,
it is never applied for younsters.

Answer 4

Here's the thing. If you're talking about the answer to the meaning of life, then you'll never be fully mature. The answer to the meaning of life is that there is no answer. Thats the answer.
If, however, you're talking about having meaning to your life, and knowing who you are and where you want to go and who you want to be ie. your identity, then you should definitely know this by now. You should always know this. If you don't, take time out to think about it. A man's worth is defined by his purpose in life.
Here's a question for you: if you had 50 billion dollars, what would you do with your time? (assuming of course that you've already traveled the world three times, bought ten mansions and twenty sports cars, donated to charity yadda yadda...) Once you know that, you'll have a good idea of what you want to do in life.

Answer 5

Men mature mentally?

But seriously, as you grow older, you realize how little you knew previously. I didn't feel I was "fully aware" and came into my own until I was about 40. This may explain the expression "Life doesn't begin until 40."

I'm happy to hear that you do, in fact, seek guidance. So many young people either don't ask for the benefit of someone older's experience or don't heed it when offered. Ask one or more people before making tough decisions. It is heart breaking to see so many youngsters, especially one's own children struggle when major pitfalls can easily be avoided.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Differs from person to person. Some people will mature at 18 and some people will be at their best when they hit 40.

Age has very little to do with mental maturity.

Early on its a very important thing, but in all honesty you cant tell when people will become emotionally or mentally mature just by their age. The world just isn't that simple.

Answer 7

uhhh......Im kinda thinking never. lol No as Ive found out though guys at the age of 20 as far as relationships go are not mentally mature enough to know whats really going on. Their brains think more like a teenagers about like whats right in front of them at that moment and about little things like Oh she didnt call me, she must not like me and all that BS. They cant seem to see any further. As far as being able to step back and see their relationship as a whole. Theyre not really able to plan for the future. Theyre not as able to do that as like a 25-26 year old. At that age they finally start to think about settling down. Its all about getting to a certain point of knowing yourself and what you REALLY want out of life before you can find the real right answers for those major decisions in life though.

Answer 8

21

Answer 9

It relies upon I incredibly have met adult men of their previous due 20's and early 30's that have been extremely mature mentally & emotionally and then I incredibly have met adult men of their previous due 40's hahaha and additionally previous due 30's that acted like spoiled little youngsters. i think of it relies upon on the guy and the certainty of his existence and his concern how he's in charge for himself and his relationships with others. i think of existence reports can effect adult men to the lack of ability of a discern the place they had to alter into the guy of the important different and youngsters etc.. it incredibly relies upon and the existence reports i might say nonetheless approximately mid 30's and early 40's adult men tend to be as you place it fairly mentally & emaotionally matured from what I incredibly have observed :))

Answer 10

When they finally accept that they will never grow up until they accept Jesus as their personal Saviour and accept their responsibilities. No person ever really matures mentally because there is always something to learn. Know it alls are the least mature by the way. People who think that they know it all find out that they really don't know much at all. Just try to accept that you are learning and will always learn to mature.

Answer 11

The male brain matures at the age of 25.

That does not mean that they ever grow up.

There will always be times when we all need guidance.

We never stop learning until we die.
