Konfuzion Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I find this quite insulting myself... Maybe look at yourself and see why your attracting men that can't act their age.
Green Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 lame saying for a lame reality. I personaly feel like I'm dealing with little children half the time when I'm talking to women... too cold or too hot or they get scared of things hahaha oh how great it is to be a man... not all men are real men by the way. I am a real man... and i'll kick your but if you say other wise now for your enjoyment
cheezy100 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 What do you all think? Would you agree with this? This is just something that I have noticed in my dating life i.e. if the guys is 45, mentally he's really like a 35 year old. If the guy is 21, he's really 11 I don't know about the years, but definitely I agree that they are mentally immature for their age. I'm 22 and my bf is 26...but he acts like he's 21. He's like obsessed with drinking on weekends...it's like i just turned 21 and i'm gonna DRINK like i've never drank before! But then, we act on the same level. Just that sometimes, I would feel more mature than him and vice versa.
ed-205 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 OK, now I'm starting to wonder, exactly *what* sort of "immature" behavior are we talking about here? If you're talking about pouty foot-stomping because you made Liver and onions with broccoli for dinner, then I have to agree. That is highly inappropriate and immature behavior to expect from anyone! In this case, a *mature* man simply tells you he has to work late, then stops off at Mc Donalds on the way home. What sort of "mature" behavior are we talking about? If we're talking about an assumed level of superior wisdom and behavior based on the apparent youthful expressiveness of someone else? Well, I've had 8 year old girls pull *that* one on me, and it doesn't work any better for them than it does for their mothers. Just because someone can act older and wiser doesn't mean that they are. If, however, we are talking about a youthful sense of "playfulness", "wild imagination", and "humor" then it's something entirely different... A need to "play" is a mark of intelligence, and the greater the intelligence, the greater the need to play. That's why dogs fetch sticks, and dolphins perform tricks for a tiny piece of fish they know they'd get anyway if they waited for dinnertime, and why lizards and other reptiles don't do much but sit around, suspiciously eyeballing everything that moves. Playing is especially important for children as a learning experience that can't simply be taught in school, and it's probably why guys play video games, participate in sports, and race anything with a motor, just because it's fun, even if it seems a little immature at times. (source: http://www.playfoundation.com/play_is_a_meta_intelligence.htm ) NOTE: THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT WOMEN ARE NOT INTELLIGENT!!! ...I just think they sometimes take themselves way too seriously!
Krajt Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I'm 21 and act like I'm 12 and I really don't care, I like who I am and what I am and if any woman doesn't like that tough. I like the misandry on this forum though, a few women could do with dusting off the cobwebs and engaging in some sexual intercourse.
Woggle Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Actually I feel that women tend to be more immature in how they approach life. I might act immature at times but when push comes to shove I can take care of business and that is what being an adult is about.
Lishy Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Oh come on people! The OP was spot on and this is a GREAT thread Men ARE immature and if you dont like it then ...... dont! My dad grew up when he hit 70 lol
Krajt Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Women are equally as immature. I met a girl who like sticking pencils up her nose and doing fart noises with her armpits.
Lishy Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Hahhahaha K!!! Wogs, when I think of immature men I dont mean they cant step up when needed they just have a more immature way of thinking and acting in general ways Even teachers say boys are far more immature then girls of the same age, and that doen't change when they get older!
Woggle Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I have been let down by women much more than men so if that defines maturity I have to give the edge to men.
Geishawhelk Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 well, unfortunately your opinion is more than a little tainted by bitterness. I don't think there's any bitterness or animosity, specifically, in our opinions here, which incidentally seem shared by some men. Including my own partner..... He sees what I post, and he thinks this is a hoot! I can understand how you might feel, but in my experience, when you're bitter about something, it takes the edge of your sense of humour. (and I mean 'you' generic, not 'you' specific.....)
Lishy Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I agree GW This thread was meant for fun not to put a whole gender down! We love men (they just act like kids) What can we say? lol
BoerumHill Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Sorry but I'm the exception. I'm in my mid-20's and behave it, and sometimes older if needed. Or younger too when the situation calls for it. I don't believe women are any more mentally mature than guys. Some are mentally immature in their own specific way, differently from a male. Of course the genders are both wired differently. Off-topic, but I remember one time when I was in my mid-20s and had starting dating a new gal...after a couple dates I stated rather pedantically "I'm not like other men" Her immediate reply was "Oh no...you're like all the other men who think they're not like other men"
sam light Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I just happen to really like and value men. What is wrong with that? Apparently you don't value any sense of humor at all.
Lucky_One Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 That's a silly thing to say, when you don't know me. I DO value a sense of humor. I also highly value respect, kindness and honesty. I value open communication and non game playing. I value non-violence, I value love-making instead of random ONS. I value intelligence and a lively curiosity. I value men and women who are thoughtful and non-judgemental. I value the individuality of people And I don't value jokes about blacks, gays, jews, poles, hispanics, blondes or groups where people can't help their birthright. I don't value violence in thought or deed. I don't value stereotypes. I stayed off the thread bc I was accused of not being fun. Fine; no one here knows me. Have your fun and help perpetuate stereotypes that men are immature. I just happened to ask why someone would post that all men are immature (bc I surely don't see the term "some men" anywhere) but still want to date/have a SO. If you don't think highly of them, then why want one? I don't think highly of hemorrhoids, so I surely don't want to spend the rest of my life snuggled up with one!

It's only offensive if I offends the person it's about. These men posting clearly are not offended. Only a man with low self-esteem would be. Something's that people may say are so ridiculous that it could only be a joke.
ianandris Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I'll concede that men act like kids if you concede that women act like babies

Lucky - Judging from that garbage you posted about DCGirl on her thread, you're not all that respectful of other people. What you wrote above about yourself is nonsense based on what I've read from you. You're not respectful at all!!!
Art_Critic Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 No man ever gets past 9-and-a-half. I'll agree with you there ....10 is pretty big..
The Collector Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 'No matter what age a woman is, take ten years off her and she'd be hotter.' How about that thread? You ladies would no doubt see the hilarious, light-hearted nature of that one I'm sure. Some women are more mature than some men. And sometimes 'mature' means old, bitter and no fun. And that goes for both sexes.
Woggle Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Women are just good at looking down on men and acting all smug and superior but in reality they are just as babyish of not more.
