From what I’ve seen being an “Adult” does not equate being “Mature” , as there are some adults even on here that display a total lack of it on a timely basis !
So if Age isn’t the Criteria , Being Married doesn’t make you suddenly all the more wiser (Life 1 is my proof ) then how does one assess a person’s Maturity ?
Is there a Profile or a set of questions that you use to decide if a person meets the criteria ?
I usually know ppl after talking to them few times. Sometimes its takes just one meeting or chat. So I just know how mature he/she is coz I myself am mature gal :halo:
FT but what parameters or questions do you use to come to that conclusion ?
There are so many ppl who in the first few meeting appear very wise and down the line you find out that they are seriously mentally disturbed and highly immature ***

maturity is a vague term.
If that means adopting a set of patterns which are practiced by most adult. Then I am not a big fan of maturity.
You know when we start following.. we give up a lot.. Not every thing we have as a kid is bad..No need to give up all of it.. just so you distant friend's wife would not say "hawwwwwwwww"
I am a HUGE fan of ppl's true virtue.. I tend to see it. And I tend to discover them.. Believe it or not.
some of "not-so-accepted-ppl" possess most awesome qualities and they blow your mind away.
And some most domesticated ppl are so F-in boring that, being with them feels like watching weather channel on TV.
U know what I mean? To me its all about what you got. NOT what a bunch of moron accept/respect you for.
hi sheyn … i feel that maturity is a very perceptual term…its how you percieve it to be…aside from the “formal” age demarcations , maturity is also atrributed to life experience, through knowledge and sheer hard work, through commitment and responsibilities…monk raises valid points :k:
usually make more right decisions than wrong… right decisions add value to their lives, such as career moves, etc…wrong decisions like living beyond your means and getting into debt.
usually don’t have a series of failed relationships, and by relationships I don’t mean marriage type, but even regular inter-family relationships.
usually are not “reactive” by nature. They deal with situations and not allow situations to control them instead.
usually don’t need approval of everybody but take mentorship from a few select people.
funny thing is when ever I made a right decisions based on excepted norms It made me miserable. And over time It proved to be the worst move.. AND when ever I follow my instinct I became happy.. career took off.. and more money too
No question about it… I will just add you got to have a positive impact on your family/friends too. Just holding on to few things and not caring about every one else is not so kool.
Life is not such a big mystery that some one would need some one else to show how it need to be done.
Almost every one has some quality which is rewarding to observe, and unique enough to learn it from. So I would say its important that we don’t limit our self to few ppl to learn from. We had a little servant boy who could solve a block puzzle in 5 mins. Same puzzle adults cant resolve ever.
