When does "childhood" end for men: scientists have named a specific age

American researchers have set themselves the goal of finding out when the stronger sex reaches psychological maturity.

To this end, they conducted a survey, during which they were able to establish that the period of “childhood” for men ends neither late nor early, but after 40 years.

To be more precise, scientists have determined that true maturity in men occurs at 43 years of age. This figure differs significantly from that of women, since they become adults before the age of 32.

This difference may be one of the reasons why family relationships become unstable and end in divorce.

How did scientists determine the level of "adulthood"?

It's simple - they paid attention to whether a person had certain social skills, no bad habits, no dirty jokes, and the ability to cook even the simplest dishes.

The analysis concluded that women mature earlier because they are responsible for caring for children.

The fact that men remain in the blissful state of childhood longer is evidenced by their passions such as computer games, new cars, etc.

What is noteworthy is that the male respondents themselves admitted their immaturity – approximately 20% of them called themselves “big children”.

There is nothing to be proud of here: about 30% of women said that they were forced to break off relations with a partner because of his childishness, while 80% of the fairer sex are sure that men remain children throughout their entire lives.
