Men Mature 11 years later than Women

A study into the differences in maturity between genders revealed both men and women agree men remain 'immature' well into their late 30s and early 40s.But the average age at which women mature emerged as 32.

 Eight out of 10 women quizzed in the study said men “never stop being childish” and said the biggest bug-bears were how they found flatulence amusing, eating fast food in the early hours and playing video games. Staying silent after rows, racing another car at traffic lights, being unable to cook simple meals and sniggering at rude words were also regarded as signs of male immaturity.

    Men were nearly twice as likely as women to describe themselves as immature. Also, females were twice as likely as men to feel that they were the “grown up” in a relationship. A third had broken up with a man they thought was too immature. Men whose 
mothers still did their washing or cooked them meals rated low in the maturity stakes. 
   
Owning a skateboard or BMX bike was another no-no for women, as was wearing cartoon pyjamas or having a cartoon bedspread. One in four women felt they were the ones who made all the important decisions in the relationship with the same percentage wishing their partner would talk about themselves and their feelings more often.     Almost 46% of women have had a relationship in which they felt they had to mother their partner a bit too much    Owning a skateboard or BMX bike was another no-no for women, as was wearing cartoon pyjamas or having a cartoon bedspread.
