Is it wrong not to take your gf/bf to a party?

Mustangbelle306,

I understand where you are coming from and I agree with the points you've made. I could give examples that support my point (i.e., dating service advertisements, movies like "The Family Man", etc.). In the end, I guess it's all in how you see it. I know a few of my guy friends are NOT happy being single and they do want a steady gf so that tells me something also. Like I said, though, your point is well taken and correct as are mine.

I think age, more often than not (so greater than 50%), is without a doubt a good idicator of maturity. This applies to men and women alike. I don't have any scientific studies to back my claim up but that's what I believe. However, as with many things in life, it's bad to lump everyone into a category based only on age. As you said, take it on a case by case basis and that's definitely the right way to go.

Just my person opinions here but I don't believe women really mature completely until a few years after college, where they have a job, and are living on their own, etc.

For men, well, it seems that men don't mature up until their late 20s. Even after college, when they have a career, apt. etc. there seems to be a period of 6 years or so where they still want to be players.

Of course, these are very broad statements and certainly do not apply to all people. However, I bet it applies to a bunch.
