When is that they start to realize that they need to mature up and get some life goals...( I know not all men are like this but the majority don't mature until later in life...what is that age?)

  1. 30 is when a single man starts to think about it

    40 is when it kicks in on a single man

    if u want it to be earlier, it is up to the female to help/push him to grow up...behind every real man there is a very smart female...a man has/needs to have some sort of reason to grow up...a female is useally the #1 reason...


  2. You mean, at what age does he start to kiss his woman's backside  and do whatever she thinks is best for him regardless of how he feels about it? Hopefully, never.

  3. They never do, what happens is that a women sits down her man and tell him what she sees as appropriate behaviour and what isn't, it's usually part of the make or break speech.

    Sorry

  4. hahahaha...you made me laugh with this one. I'd have to say NEVER from my experiences, but would love to see what answers you get!

  5. Sad to say..but I don't think they really do until they are almost wheelchair bound. I have dated men much younger than me and much older..both acted the same. I dated a man who was 52 and he was just as nutty as a 25 year old.  

  6. I hear that people mature on 7 year cycles. Well they mature as they grow, but every 7 years they have a big change of life. I dont know if i agree but alot of professionals do.

  7. Some by 22, some by never (at least as I've seen).  I know a 65+ man who still thinks he can just skate by.  I also know a 19 year old who knows exactly what he should do in life, how to get there, and is doing what he needs to get there.  Every man (and woman) is different.  Just pick one that fits your needs.

  8. Wow...What a loaded question. The easy answer... when their women understand that love, respect, honor are key to a good relationship. when you stop asking questions like this...

    Our lives have become so complicated. There is no clear path for any of us...men or women. Men have had their balls cut off by society. To be a man in this is world, especially in USA, you can not even speak your mind. Look at all of the sit Com's and commercials. For the most part, men are depicted as stupid, ignorant beings  and that women are far superior. Are you asking when will a man quit drinking, running around and cheating? Are you asking when he will obey all of your commands? Then I would say you need to find a new man. If you are married to him, don't be a *****. Listen to him. Find out what he wants out of life. Help him with goals for the both of you. Encourage him to look at the future and what you can accomplish together. Offer solutions. Tell him the things you like about him. Point out his strengths. Help him with educational options. Sometimes there are too many distractions to focus, too many demands. Perhaps you ask too much, expect too much. Don't ask what can your man do for you. Ask what you can do for your man. Life is difficult enough without strife at home. There is no perfect life. Deal with what you have been delt, have honor and hope. Respect your man and walk by his side. He is not yours to try and change.

  9. when its too late, they don't ever miss a good thing til its gone. but mostly when they past 30.

  10. I would say 29.  But some don't mature until later and after they have mucked up other people's lives.

  11. some guys never mature through their lives.

    but i guess probably around mid 20...

  12. Ha!...Never.

  13. Somewhere around the age of 87.  The average man will live to be 76.

  14. For me it was after I turned 27.

  15. Age has nothing to do with it- it depends on how their parents raised them.


  16. the only good answer 4 this questin is what 'GYVUPHAYS' told u...had to be females that gave the best answer thumps down though...lol

  17. Girl they dont ever straighten up every one knows that. If a man is mature than he's been through some real **** other than that they aint ever going to grow up.

  18. Why do YOU care?  At what age do women mature enough to stop trying to pretend that she is everyone's mother?

    Is thais some ego trip for you, to pretend that you are wiser, more mature, or just plain better than everyone else?  When do women grow out of their adolescent, competitive catty phase?

  19. Some people have life goals from their childhood years, and some never get any at all.

    I take it that you are unhappy with your husband's life goal of seeing how much TV he can watch or how much beer & snacks that he can consume at one sitting.  Don't expect your hubbie's life goals for himself to ever be the same as the ones that you have for him.

  20. About 33-37

  21. What do you mean?

    When do women stop hounding their man?

    Fact is, men will never stop looking for that perfect woman who is a lady in public and a w***e in bed. Likewise, women will never stop looking for that perfect man who follows her every command.

  22. depends really.

    hopefully by mid twenties to early thirties

  23. About 3 years after their first child

  24. Mid to late 30's. Everyone is different though. I straightened up at 32.  

  25. Middle 30's.  But like you say not all men are like that. Some mature earlier.  

  26. My grandfather once told me that he didn't start---start---to mature until he was 30.  And he was married with 3 kids by then.  There really isn't a hard and fast age though.  It depends though on how he was raised and whether he was made to be responsible--financially with a part time job when young, etc.  Also, they are different than women in so many ways that to try to compare ages is fruitless.  Timing is everything when it comes to meeting the right person...you have to be in the right frame of mind to have a mature, adult relationship and mature, adult goals...the other person has to be in the same mindset at the same time in order for it to work.  You cannot change a man...you cannot change anyone else...they have to change themselves...if they choose.  Usually--it's not worth the trouble.  There's lots of fish in the sea...throw him back!!!


  27. My mom always told me, generally men don't really mature until their late 30's to early 40's.

  28. Depends on the man! My husband was 19 when we got married He was mature but my brother is 37 and still cant keep a job!

  29. No joking.....it took me until I was 32 before I got my s%^& together and made a man out of myself. Men take a while to get going so be patient!

  30. Late 40's after the middle age crisis is over.

  31. well from experience as a man i will say about late 20s ,early 30s.
