The precocity of girls compared to boys is well-known but who do you think’s the more mature between both genders in their fully adult form?

[Alf]

Females are far more mature.

[caprimint]

Totally dependent on the person

[Niamh.]

Again as with all of these questions, it's completely down to the individual rather than what sex they are

[Kate!]

Opted for both. As Niamh and Capri said its an individual thing.

define maturity and we can maybe answer

[Jessica.]

Neither are more mature, it depends on the person. Your gender means nothing.

There's some arses full of splinters in here.

It's hardly fence sitting to believe that people are individuals

[Toy Soldier]

Both and neither and depends on the circumstance. There's a time for being mature and a time for being more carefree, if you can find a balance between the two you'll be happier for it

Really depends on the person. If I had to chose overall, I would say probably women, but thats only because so many women get left 'holding the baby' so to speak, so have no choice but to mature. Prob about 50/50 otherwise. Though apparently, the brain does not fully mature til aged 24 anyway, which I found interesting.

[Alf]

But in general?

Some women can run faster and lift more than some men. But in general, men are faster and stronger than woman.

Yes but that's a biological difference rather than a personality one

[LeatherTrumpet]

All i know is that on the hole, women are hairier

Yeah agree with that but that's more circumstance than a sex/gender thing

[parmnion]

How can women be the most mature when they are surrounded by kids all day.

Oh yeah for sure. Ignoring how society treats the sexes different and the results of that...taking just male v female..maturity would be split down the middle I think. Really really depends on the person..one of my stepsons has been really mature for years and was allowed out on his own from a young age and stuff because of this. Other stepson is nearly 14 now, and we don't let him do anything alone tbh as hes still like a kid! Just luck of the draw it seems, as both have been brought up the same too so its not even environment!

How can some men still think women are predominantly housewives?

Obviously in psychological terms. Nothing to do with physical strength.

[smudgie]

Not a clue.
Hubby has always been way more mature than me.
The older we get the more that’s true, I am finding my inner child within.

Same as some women I guess.
