Not in the mood

How come every time I get an awe-inspiring speech for my blog, I NEVER NEED TO BLOG OR DONT HAVE A COMP!?!?!? What the heck? I mean really, is it so much to ask that I get my "Eureka!" moments when I NEED THEM!!? Like the other day, I had a great one, about the false illusion of sexual maturity differences... actually now that I think on it, I can

probably not

this probably isn't the debate you're lookihng for but the girls maturing faster has been scientifically proven and doesnt mean that girls are more mature, they just mature at a faster rate. Also, everytime i have heard the "L" word thrown around, it has been my male friends not my female ones. I think the only reason you cant get a girl who's mature enough is that you are either looking in the wrong places or your standards are too high. On the other hand, i can agree that there are many in our age group, if not most of the women, are utterly clueless to just about everything.

Hm... tell me Lacey, how do you scientifically prove that one sex matures mentally faster, socially faster, or likewise, when for one, its society that sets these standards of maturity, and for two, the idea of it is a mass psychological profiling that cannot be proven because we barely can scratch the surface of the things in the human mind? Saying that it has been proven is like saying someone went around reading everyone's minds and doing a survey from their thoughts to figure out which sex matured faster. Furthermore, saying it has been scientifically proven is like saying that we have a guess, because that's all science is

lol, well to be completely honest that wasn't the way i thought you would go. XD
However, i DO swing both ways and i will admit that i have heard the "L" word thrown around by both sides but, and this is where the two connect, because women are more emotionally driven they are prone to early mistakes that men often are not. Because of these mistakes, women have a tendency to be forced into maturing so as not to keep getting hurt because they are still going to be emotionally driven. So this doesn't mean that all women mature faster, just that we are prone to do so by the mistakes that it seems we are the only ones to make. However, there are many emotionally driven women who are completely immature and dumb as a door-nail just as there are many emotionally driven men who find themselves in the same situation thus they to are forced into maturing.

True, true. But none of this proves that either sex matures faster. Rather it proves that people under certain conditions mature faster than those under other

no

[laceysmurphy_a]

I do not care to argue over whether or not girls mature faster, to me it is just fact and i do not care. However, i will disagree that everyone is emotionally driven. The term would not be "unemotionally driven" as that just sounds silly, rather it would be "logically driven" or even so specific as "financially driven

First: I apologize if my previous message was not clear. I meant to express that emotion is what governs our logic and our way way of thinking. I do not agree that there is even a single thought that is created without emotion. I'll try to explain this with another simile: Say that life was a game. Logical thought, which -to put it generally- is technically based on numbers, is capable of being processed, but in order to know if the small numbers are better than the large numbers, we need to know the rules of the game. The rules of the game are what we believe. What we believe is what is taught to us and what we feel is right. (keyword there) So in reality, our logic is governed by our emotions

i do not believe that logic and emotion go hand in hand which may be why some people see me as cold. often in my problem-solving i give them the logical and best solution but it is often not the one they want to hear.

XD

as for the child psych thing, i think you need to read my post again because i did not say that it was the gender that gave them that boost. i said it was statistics.

Re: no

[joshuabatista_a]

Well, of course I can understand that you would disagree...there is nothing I think I can say to change that. It is however nice debating the topic.

and btw: "they do not say this is for girls and this is for boys, rather they say this is the approximate amount on time based on many factors such as potential, gender, mental capacity, etc."
I merely noted that you added gender to that list of factors. Forgive me if I misunderstood...
