Yes. How do you not see it? It's not just for 1%. It's for every one. If being older really mattered Florida wouldn't have as many senior citizens. Why is it that most of the time it's the older people that get fired and laid off? Why is it that younger people usually fill their jobs? According to you that's just insane. Why did Lebron James go #1 in the draft? He's only 18. By your standards almost every single collegiate player regardless of race or sex or anything else is better. Do you really believe that? Or can you now see that it's not age that matters?

Every point you just made has nothing to do with Mental Maturity in regaurds to a relationship. A little off topic dont you think. And btw, ALOT of younger people get fired more than older people. If your working at a place when your sixteen theyre likely to try and fire you before they have to start paying you benifits. They often hire many young people (at department stores) before christmas because of the increase in shopping and then fire them after because they are immature and many dont take work very seriously, they prefer older workers.

Clearly you didnt read the original post. Were not talking physical maturity in regaurds to the friggin NBA, or in the work place, were talking about realtionships in wich a very young male (Many of wich are rather immature in this country) gets with an older female. And in that case Age makes a difference. It doesent completely dictate weather or not it will work, but it has a big impact. If you want to talk about sports start a thread in the sports forum., if not, lets try and stay on topic here

It doesn't take a lot of know it all to know how to be mature

I honestly cant make any sence of that sentence. Was there a typo involved ? Because im the king of the typo and even I cant decode that one.

No that's being honest. Are you saying that being honest is not being mature

What exactly is your definition of mental maturity ?. Because clearly we dont see it as the same thing. To me, maturity is more than just how well you play NBA basketball, or how well you keep your job ?. Ive told you my definition of mental maturity. What is
yours ?

Your 3 more years of doing what

3 more years of living. 3 more years experiencing people. 3 more years of analyzing the way people think, react, etc. I gaurentee ive experienced more people than you, and probably a greater range of people. Im not saying im more mature than you, im not saying im not, (Because im not in your head) you asked where my experience came from and I told you. And you took my little phrase and blew it up into me wanting you to kiss my feet . Sounds like your really having to reach to make any kind of point here.

Hell you were older then most of your graduating class, how come you weren’t Valedictorian

Ok now your idea of mental maturity is measure by your intelligence and success in school ?. Im not following you at all, your jumping all over the place. You can be immature and do well in school, I knew some immature people in HS that got good grades.

Where my good friend does you being older then me have any thing to do with any thing other then you can legally buy smokes and some porn or you can work at more places then me

Wow, you really are smug arent you. You probably think your just as mature as most adults or anyone for that matter. Youve got some reality checks coming my friend. You'll see, they say males do alot of maturing mentally between the ages of 16 and 25. So it would make sence that ive matured a bit (I said a "bit") more than you in those 3 years . "Part of being mature is realizing your not" clearly you dont realize that at all. I dont say this as an isult, I consider you to be one of, if not my best friend, but you are rather arrogant in this regaurd

I think I will bow down the next time I see you and seek information in the ways of...ummmm help me out here....???

Ok, ive come to the conclusion at the end of your post that your definition of mental maturity is a culmonation of knowing the difference between right and wrong (Something toddlers know), how well you can play in the NBA, and how much success youve had in school. All I can say is.......wow
