As ladies, we have known all our lives that men mature a whole lot slower than us. How much slower exactly? A research has surfaced with the exact age that guys mature completely. Yes, they will eventually grow up—don’t worry.
Immature men: What’s the magic age?
Men will be emotionally mature at the age of 43—exactly 11 years after women. The average magical age in which women mature is 32. This research was commissioned by Nickelodeon UK upon launching Wendell & Vinnie—a new show.
However, eight out of 10 women actually believe that guys “never stop being childish”. Surprisingly, immature men do not vehemently oppose of the belief. In fact, one out of four men feel that they are childish.

The grown up in the relationship
Do you feel like you have to make all the important decisions in the relationship while hubby is glued to the TV or gaming constantly? One quarter of the women who participated in the study felt this way.
The devastating news is that three out of ten ladies have called it quits because they can’t stand the immaturity of their partners. 46% walked out of their relationships because they felt like they had to mother their other half. Immature men can really take a toll on the relationship.
Oftentimes, the one who carries the relationship more will just end up tired. So you need to realize when this is coming in between you and your partner. Communication is the number one key to this, but it's not that easy to tackle these kinds of problems because how exactly do you point it out?
Is there a positive side to immaturity?
As a matter of fact there is 4 out of ten people that believes it is essential to keep the relationship fresh and fun with jokes and laughter. Everything feels better after a good laugh. So immature men and their antics do come in handy sometimes.
That’s not all—a tinge of immaturity can actually help when it comes to bonding with the kids. After all, childish ones can act silly without any issues.
