A British study has identified the age at which men finally grow up -- and it's 43.
That's 11 years later than their female counterparts, according to research commissioned by Nickelodeon UK.
Men demonstrate their immaturity by being amused at farts and burps and playing video games, among other things, said women who participated in the survey.
Not being able to cook simple meals, re-telling the same old stories and jokes when out with the boys, and owning a skateboard or BMX were also high on the list.
Nickelodeon UK released the results in support of its launch of a new program called Wendell and Vinnie, which features a 30-year-old bachelor who suddenly becomes the legal guardian of his precocious 12-year-old nephew.
"As a man, especially one who works for a children's channel, the question if men ever reach maturity is one I am well accustomed to," said Tim Patterson, Nickelodeon's director of programming. "However, as the characters Wendell and Vinnie show in our new program, a difference in maturity between two people definitely makes for an amusing partnership."
Men don't dispute their immaturity. A quarter of the men surveyed described themselves as actively immature, and both mean and women agreed that women mature much, much sooner.
Three in 10 women surveyed said they and ended a relationship because they found a man too immature, and eight in 10 believed men "never stop being childish."
On the bright side, almost one-third of those surveyed believed a little immaturity can be an asset when bonding with children.
The survey found the top five maturity failings among British men to be:
1. Finding humour in their own farts and burps
2. Eating fast food in the wee hours
3. Playing video games
4. Driving too fast or racing other cars
5. Snickering at rude words
When fickle gets the upper hand you get projectile fickle masquerading as science. At base, it’s driven by lesbians PO’ed because they have to sit to pee and have a biological clock. Stopped, but they have one.
At about 1955 - but only as reruns.

Maturity, nothing - this PC butt head’s denigrating normal human life.
Uh... are we allowed to use the word “denigrating” anymore?
alright i am so in
That's the male standard of maturity. By that standard, many women never mature. I recall Jack Nicholson's line in "As Good As It Gets", when asked how he write women characters so well: "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."
Yeah, tell that to a 33 year old Military guy on station.
or rather, lack of maturity.
He died at 51. Men must mature at an older age in Los Angeles.
This sort of stuff is fun fodder for conversation but the “study” was an opinion poll and the “conclusions” are a collection of subjective viewpoints. Neener neener.
These demure maids awaken filled with ambition every day....
(after dreaming of painting their male countrymen as idiots...)
....So they generate their own copy /research /publicity...
Note to self...
If I was JimRob, I would give you the "Best Post of the Day" award.
Men are designed to be maximally attracted to healthy, fit women in their prime childbearing years.
No actually its not like that, these are good guys. The middle aged divorced women seem to want to make up for what they didnt do after high school.
Sure makes me glad to be married.
