my mom used to tell me, man only become matured at 45, true or false, why?
364214
false. a man can mature at any age.  it's depends on how he acts and what he's experienced in his lifetime.  i'm 26 but i consider myself very mature cause i've experienced so much to sink a battleship.  i hope this helps your question in any way

not that odd.. males don't stop growing until they are around 21, females around 18

Just like growing older doesn't mean that you''ve "grown up" (become more mature)... Time's passing doesn't guarantee you'll become more spiritually mature. It's unbearably easy to become stagnant, complacent, apathetic.\n\nBut your question: Why is it difficult? The major reason we don't trust the Lord is because we aren't fully aware of who He is. (Loving, merciful, desiring the best for us, jealous, consuming fire, holy, just). Then, other problems branch off from that: we fear that the circumstances we're in right now are too much for Him. We believe that things and people are going to give us greater pleasure, satisfaction than He will. \n\nStudy the Bible. (Psalm 27:13,14; Romans 8:28; Hebrews 10:23; 1 Peter 2:20; 2 Cor. 4:17 are excellent. Read them aloud.) Learn about God's character. \nRead John Piper! and C.S. Lewis! They're fantastic. \n\n(ahh.. i'm giving advice but I have the same problem myself.)

Who said your body has to stop being at it's best once you've reached 50 ?  To me, if you can "stand at attention" in the mornings and perhaps once in the evening, than you still have spunk to get any woman - no matter what age. MEN TEND TO GET LAZY-- WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE BODY GETS LAZY TOO.  Don't let your drive shaft go down the drain because your 50+ and have started to age.  AGE IS WISDOM + KNOWLEDGE.  But on the other hand, if your body (drive shaft) only looks down at the ground, then perhaps you might purchase a new rocking chair so the both of you can sit through it all. In any event, Get out there and have some fun.  Keep that blood in your body moving.  When it moves .. you need to move with it. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN, THEY'LL GET OLD TOO!

yes my mother was 42 and my father was 43 when I was born

no. but if you are old enough and man enough to marry, then you should be man enough to have your own place.  stop living on your mom.  she is probably tired of you and your wife anyway. why didn't you think about taking care of a wife and yourself before you got married.  you wanna be grown--get out of your moms house.  why do kids think that their parents want to take care of them and someone Else's child too.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but cannot change anything.  I was raised by a single mom as father died when I was 3 years old from cancer.  But during my wise years (teenage years where I truly believed that I was brighter than Einstein) I thought that she knew nothing and was a foolish woman. But much to my amazement I now realize how brilliant she actually was and find myself repeating many of her sayings etc.  Your young son is going through a difficult time in his life as he is trying to cut the apron strings a bit and yet still remain a kid at the same time.  You can certainly sit him down and let him know that you and your friends went through a lot of the same things that he is currently experiencing but if he is like majority of kids he will doubt that you can identify with his feelings. Ha!  I suppose that is why it is called the generation gap and has been around probably since the beginning of mankind.  In a couple of more years he will see that he is not fooling anyone (especially his mom) by telling untruths and/or exaggerating his stories and will come around and respect you far more than you'll ever expect.  I lived through this with 3 sons of my own and they are all young men now - aged 32, 25 and 21, and we actually are able to laugh at some of the things from the past today.  Call on him when you think he is being dishonest but realize that it's part of teenage life at the same time.  You too shall survive this part of your son aging.  Kids today are forced to age at a much more quicker rate than generations of the past.

Nope! I speak from experience! (I am 65). Actually guys reach their peak in their late teens...for gals it's usually about the mid 30's. This can vary with the individual of course...but for most of us it's true. There is a VERY slow decline after these peaks but most people can remain sexually active throughout their lives (yeah Viagra helps for many of us older guys!). Of course people can become more sexually active in later years just because the opportunity presents itself. An older dude can find a younger woman is attracted to him for instance (maybe because of his money, maybe something else!) and he could find himself do more f--ing than he did in his twenties. For myself, I needed sex release through intercourse, oral sex or (lots of!) masturbation  at least once a day in my teens and twenties, 4 or 5 times a week in my thirties and forties and still 2 or 3 times a week in my 60's. I still think about sex every day even if I don't jack off every day as I did as a teenager. What I am getting at is it is a VERY SLOW decrease in sexual desire over the years. Nothing to worry about at all!

Age is just a number. I know a couple who met and married in their 70's and they both act like they are 20 plus.  Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places.

because we're men and dont really have the full control of our own minds at the best of times, its childish I know but hey, like mny grandfather use to say "women grow up, men just get older"

That's an awfully big age difference. Did you sit down and think VERY carefully and in detail about your motives before you took action? The reason I ask is that some time back, I managed to fall in love with a guy 20 years younger, and I remember doing some very serious thinking.\n\nIn your case, since you are the younger party, the line of questioning would be a little different, but I would strongly suggest that if you haven't done this already, that you sit down and ask yourself such things as 'Am I trying to prove I'm "really grown up"? Do I like to be taken care of or have someone to depend on? Or, to put it another way, do I want to avoid taking responsibility for my own life?' Etc.\n\nAnd then another thing: in your case, I suppose you would imagine your own mother's questions rather than his, but yes: think of all the tough questions your mom would ask you about this situation, write 'em down, write down the answers to every question you can think of, whether or not it is related to the question of your respective ages.\n\nI could see moving forward in this situation only on three conditions:\n\n1) you have detailed and satisfactory answers to all of the above questions,\n\n2) you have found that both you and he *already have* everything you could be possibly looking for in a relationship with that kind of age difference, so that the relationship is based on something other than 'I need you', and\n\n3) you have found that he has gone through the same process with a positive result.\n\nIf ANY ONE of these conditions is not satisfied, let me suggest that you need to have enough self-respect to avoid dead-end situations from which no good can come.\n\nFor more ideas about things you can ask yourself, somewhere in my Yahoo! Answers you will find a question 'How to get a really, really cute guy to notice you?' or something to that effect (it should be on the last page - it was one of the first questions I answered), in which the bottom line is that the person needs to do a lot of thinking before she takes any action at all. Probably you are a bit older than the person who asked that question, but I think you'll still find something relevant to your situation.\n\nIf you go through this questioning process, you'll either make your present relationship better, or have a good basis to start over again with someone else.\n\nMay God bless you with wisdom as you consider your way and decide on a course of action.

Lol, I remember people tellin me i was too mature for my age. I think everyone mature's at their own pace and I don't think you should try to spead up the process, have as much fun being "innocent" and nieve/ playful and young as you can. I know i wish I was still young. Even though I'm "all grown up" I still try to act young, I love to be playful and fun (and guys seem to like it too, lol). Just don't grow up to fast, but if you push hard enough, I'm sure you will...  as i did.. :(

I think it is a mindset.  A mature woman knows who she is and is comfortable with herself.  She does not have to do anything to prove herself, or try to be someone she is not.  In fact, she doesn't have to try at all.  Growing up as a woman comes naturally.  \n\nJust relax, and enjoy wherever you are in life.  Young people want to be older and older people want to be younger.  The best thing you can do is not focus on your age at all.  Instead focus on living your life the best way you can.

energy.\nA healthy, exercising, 60 yr old could be in better overall shape than an overweight, inactive 20 yr old who doesn't eat right, so it is relative...\n\nGenerally as people age the body changes.  Hormones change, things slow down, it is easier to get aches,  the body is less flexible.  stamina gets shorter with longer recuperation time needed.\n\nMentally the 20 yr old brain is not finished growing.  There is less understanding of life  and living.  Generally a 20 yr old male is immature.\n\nA fully grown mature man will have gained wisdom  and understanding (it does take a lifetime though, so the older the better)  Experience teaches so much.  He will more likely be secure in knowing who he is and what is important to him.  He will have empathy and developed the fine art of social skills.  He can be less selfish.\n\nSexually, there are differences.  Neither good nor bad, just different.  Young men often are quicker when having sex  and it can be exciting and fun( and loving) and older men can spend more time and can actually make love in a way more satisfying to a woman.\n\nThere are pluses and minuses at every stage of life so get the most out of every year and fully enjoy the age that you are.  They can all be great!

Because you do not want to be 40, you want to be 20.  i am 21 now and i see my mother trying to buy the things i buy, but she looks much more beautiful and graceful (and less in denial of her 40ish age) when she wears clothes from the womens department vs. the juniors dept.  its awful when an older woman tries to act like she's 20something.  i think, get over it and enjoy life in the now instead of in the past.  i guess when older women dress "sexy" -as they like to call it-  they don't know that people see right thru them.  and some even laugh at them.  dress like the grown, radiant woman you are and do not be ashamed of being wiser than us 20somethings!  lol

I sort of agree with the first answer, but one must remember that when time  goes on, he will be 75 and an 'old man'and she will only be 50.  All viagra jokes aside, it would be like being with your father.

Some people never grow up. It is easier for someone to tell us what to do than to make up our minds for ourselves.  That puts the monkey on someone else's back.  But you sound like  a pretty mature 21 year old, so things should work out for you.  This is a natural process you are going through.
