I think people are confusing a little bit what I am sayin. As if you can't be mature and have fun. Of course you can. I just don't like when guys seem proud of their immaturity and brag about it like it's a badge of honor. That has nothing to do with being able to laugh at a " fart'.

I don't think you're getting what we're saying. Guys are competitive. One says "I'm soooo immature...", the other one has to pipe up and say "You want immature? Well, here's what I do...". These are the same men who are as GT mentions, the guys who stand up when it matters.
That doesn't mean there aren't Peter Pans in the world. Twits have always existed and are the boys to avoid.

Immaturity is not something to be proud of. If someone's proud that they're immature, then there's nothing I can do about it. But I do think lesser of guys who don't act mature.
I dont know how many questions this will answer, and I cannot remember who wrote it, but there is a line that took me a long, long time to understand, and one that I still too often forget.
"If growing up is the process of creating ideas and dreams about what life should be, then maturity is letting go again"
I try not to overweight individual comments people make. Sometimes people simply say things because they are insecure - not immature.
A simple way to get a sense of how mature someone is, is to observe how they manage money. People who live in the moment, are leveraged and / or overextended are behaving in an immature fashion.
People who save and live within their means are being mature.
You can have plenty of fun either way. But if you live on the edge, the first hiccup and suddenly your problems become everyone elses problems.

I save and live within my means, but, I'd still say my maturity level is more like someone in their early 20's.
