"For me its 20 years older than me. But it's more an attitude than a number. I may be mature in age but not in attitude x"
I'm the same, but I'm probably about 12 in the head, even my kid does the eye rolling when we are out and about |

I agree with the attitude comment. I can’t really put an age on ‘mature’. What I do know is that some people can make you feel older or younger. I once dated a guy only a couple of years younger that made me feel ancient.
Now whatever the age, I stick with people who share my zest for life. |

"
Some never achieve emotional maturity and some have it at 16 but physical maturity and a mature outlook on life problably starts around 40/50"
These are my thoughts

My daughter is the same. She hasn't cottoned on yet that the more embarrassed she gets, the more I do it x |

Pretty much this!
On the rare occasions I try ‘normal’ dating sites I really just how old guys even approaching my age act! They act like grandads!
I’m 50 going on 25 and generally meet/befriend younger people for that reason!
The friends I have on here my own age are, I’m delighted to say, bloody big kids at heart too!  |

I think this sums it up pretty succinctly. Maturity is controlled by that thing between the ears. By some measures I'm ancient, but ladies in their 30's through to their 70's would all disagree as my profile records. About 34 in my brain for the fun element. |

We need a rating system like they have with cheese so it's uniform.
I found this on line so we just need to remove cheddar and swap months for appropriate ages
Mild Cheddar is typically sold at about 3 months of age; medium matured Cheddar at 5 to 6 months; mature Cheddar at around 9 months, Extra Mature at around 15 months and Vintage at 18 months or more. |

"Some reckon 60 but others reckon over 30 
What's the magic number for you? "
Maturity is in someone's behaviour not their chronological age .......In terms of here I'd class mature as late 40's early 50's |

"I wonder if the number changes as our own age does? You know a 22 year may very well differ from a 40year old "
I think it's very much this. In my 20's i'd have called a 40 year old lady mature. Suffice to say, that's been bumped up a bit now!  |

"I’d consider it around 40 that’s probably because I’m only 21!"
Completely agree, I would have considered 40 mature at 21.... My idea of mature has somewhat changed since then! |

"Mature when you become an old fart just like me...about 50 I think who knows who cares, it's a state of mind isn't it "
Same here  
Although I do have an immature way about me.... |

At 52 I am probably classed as mature, but as Tweety Pie would say “ he don’t know me very well do he” I recon most people set their age limit to 50 until like me you realise fuck I passed that years ago  |

It's not a number it's an ethos. Owning their decisions and acting with integrity. Of course, some people never reach it! |

I think a lot on here are reacting to the word "mature" as if it means "old and set in ways".
I don't think this is really the case as well as mature people can be great fun! I agree it's more a state of mind and reason most people once they get to a certain age where they become mature can dip in and out of maturity and the commonly thought of behaviour when it suits them. I believe the fundamental difference with those who are immature on the other hand is that they can't readily control this side to them as well so as such will be seen as childish on occasions when it's best for them not to be?

Are we talking about emotional maturity or just the numbers?
I know 20 year olds that have a well developed emotional maturity and 50 year olds that don't, they still throw tantrums.
Emotional maturity has to do with a lot more than the number on your birthday cards. |

I’d call mature middle age , now as a kid I saw middle age as 30 to 50
As I reached that bracket I thought it was 45 to 60 ,
now as I’m in the 40-50 bracket middle age must be 60 to 70 ,,
Maybe I just don’t want to admit I am really in that middle age time of life ? Xx |

I don’t know, it’s changed as I’ve got older, and now I don’t think being classed as mature is the insult it used to be. So yes I’m mature but far from past it x |
