LOL Well, I'd say there's plenty of evidence to back that up, actually. Guys tend to mature slower than most females (I say most because I know PLENTY of immature females), but sometimes you'll get lucky and find a guy who acts his age, and not some 30-something acting like he's 13...LMAO

Hi lil areas,

Welcome to the board. :)

>>is it true that a mans mental age is 5 years younger than his actual age? my friend said that its true but i am not quite sure about it and if it is welll lets just say my bf is really young any ideas on this thought?

**Lol, sometimes it can seem like it. ;) Guys do seem to develop physically more slowly than us gals, as can easily be seen in a JrHi where the gals are often taller than the guys. But as far as mentally, well I've seen many of both sexes who seem much younger. Perhaps it has to do with what is expected of them.

My dh lost his father when he was just a kid so that when I met him in our teen years, he was quite mature in his thinking. :)

I will vouch for that! There's many days I feel at least 5 years older than my bf. But then again, it's good to have someone that reminds me not to act like I'm 80 all the time!

Hi lil areas and welcome :)

>>is it true that a mans mental age is 5 years younger than his actual age

**Well of course we all know how guys do mature slower than females ..

I have not really heard of the mental age being younger than their actual age ..

Besides everyone is different .. Some may be more mature than their age ... so ..

Sorry I am not much help ..

Hope to see you here again :)

LOL, Joe is 3 years younger than me, so if the age thing is true that makes him 18. And I'm approaching my sexual peak, so this oughtta be fun ;)...

Honestly, though I like the fact that men are a little behind women in the maturing process, but I think that only holds true until they near 30. And anyway it's more fun having a relationship with someone that is a playmate as well as a lover, support system, and roommate.

well we all agree i think that if your man has a mental age of 5 years younger than what hes ment to be his sex drive must be hudge i mean basicaly you are saying that you ainthappy with it? personaly i would love to have a boyfriend with a high sex drive. As you should know sex is good for burning callories and for getting into shape so keep up the thrusting ;p and get the sex drive booted up for more

G'luck
