DM Femail: Men don't mature until they hit 43...

TL;DR- Ridiculous survey commissioned by Nickelodeon to promote a new TV show is semi-seriously reported as news in the fluff section of the DM.

Men don't act like women. Why won't they grow up and be women, already?

Immaturity does have an upside though, with four in ten people saying that it is important in a relationship because it ensures the partnership stays fun and keeps things fresh.

One in three people think a bit of immaturity helps in bonding well with children.

Phrased another way, people undervalue immaturity in relationships. Another word for immaturity is fun. Immaturity can make you laugh. These are qualities women value in a man, and that is why so many men are like that.

Another case of complaining about your favorite thing.

Finding their own farts and burps hilarious

OK, from now on I'll only find my wife's farts hilarious.

Eating fast food at 2am

From now on only slow food at 2am. "Hey hon, can you bake me a brisket before you go to bed?"

Playing videogames

I don't "play" videogames. I critically analyze them to understand how they're oppressive to my gender.

Driving too fast or 'racing' another car at the lights or on the motorway

Am I too fast or are the other cars too slow?

Sniggering a bit at rude words

I'm not British and rarely snigger but fuck you all the same.

Driving with loud music

It's all the racing (see #4) - high RPMS are loud.

Playing practical jokes

I tried impractical jokes but they always seemed less funny.

Trying to beat children at games and sport

Nothing teaches the drive for excellence better than a good ass whopin' at checkers.

Staying silent during an argument

Oh, sorry I didn't know we were arguing.

Not being able to cook simple meals

I don't fuck around with tuna salad. It's a seven course meal or nothin'.

Re-telling the same silly jokes and stories when with the lads

The trained ear would have detected that we embellish a little more upon each telling.

Not liking to talk about themselves or have a proper conversation

I distinctly remember you not wanting to talk about my penis.

Hating books because they have short attention span or think they’re boring

I don't hate books. Some of the best movies are made from books.

Doing crazy dance moves

Crazy? Really? They were stupendous. I burned that motherfuckin' club to the ground with my moves.

Their mother still does their washing

Jealousy much?

Their mother still makes them breakfast or, indeed, any meal

She's a better cook than either of us.

Wearing trainers to night clubs

It's for my stupendous dance moves - they're killer on the feet.

Owning a skateboard or BMX

I think that's just racist.

Not eating vegetables

It's a mutual agreement we have. I don't eat them and they don't eat me.

Changing jobs regularly

I change underwear regularly - I don't hear you complaining about that.

Getting too excited over stag do’s

Too excited? How is that even possible? Do you know what goes down at a stag?

Trying to do wheelies or other stunts on their bike

I'm just being efficient. Why wear out two wheels when one will do?

Driving a modified car or one with a loud exhaust/boy racer

I only do this so I can hear the engine over the loud music.

Showing off about how girls are attracted to them

I would gladly stop trying to make you jealous if you'd give me a BJ voluntarily.

Wearing pyjamas, specifically cartoon pyjamas

The real question is why doesn't your nightie have cartoons?

Using dodgy chat-up lines

Right, from now on I'll keep it classy - You DTF?

Showing off about protein shakes/weight-lifting/how much they 'lift'

No more than 20lbs. I threw out my back a few years ago. But I lift the fuck out of that bag of potatoes.

Littering

Actually this makes me an adult.

Wearing baggy jeans

I was hoping my ass grows into them.

Having a cartoon bedspread

..that matches my pajamas! Aww yeah!

Tell that to the 19 year olds who stormed Normandy and patrol Afghanistan and Iraq for IED's and insurgents.

So basically: "How dare you think you can enjoy life. You should be slaving away to earn money, and doing jobs around the house and..and..just stop being fucking happy!" Usual DM man-shaming horseshit. Disregard and move on. And have fun just to piss the sour-faced harpies off.

Women don't mature until they hit 50 ...

There we are even.

2013-06-10T23:36:17+00:00

What is it with the male hate-on? What's wrong with being a bit immature? It helps people deal with the shit life throws at you.

ThePigman · 2013-06-11T01:31:14+00:00

If women really believe that the things in the list are signs of immaturity, they are even dumber than i thought.

radrler · 2013-06-11T04:53:36+00:00

How do the numbers stack up, if we define "mature" as "making their own fucking money"?

Maschalismos · 2013-06-11T12:11:12+00:00

Remember, when women say the word "mature" in reference to a man, what she usually means is "owns lots of stuff".

DarthOvious · 2013-06-11T15:10:18+00:00

I really don't see how some of these can even be justified.

Eating fast food at 2am

Why? So just because you're eating food at 2 in the morning this makes you immature? I think someone needs to get their priorities checked.

Playing videogames

Oh sure, but it's OK for girls to keep their teddy bear collectionswell into their 40's.

Staying silent during an argument

Why? What I am supposed to do? Scream and cry like a little child because I'm not getting my own way? Is that more mature?

Sniggering a bit at rude words

They make comedy programes on TV centered around this sort of thing. Are they fucking serious?

Not to mention the things listed are things that both guys and gals get involved in. Funny how it only makes the men immature and not the gals.
