mature in what aspect? AS for myself (I cant really comment on how mature anyone else is), I definitely had no idea what I was doing as far as long term/lifelong commitments at that age. I may havew THOUGHT i was doing the right thing, but I was not very introspective.
25 yr and up old women who have never been married are the worse!!! They are actually taking relationship more seriously, because all their friends are married!!! Biggest headcases. (not all)
18 - 24...Are more worried if you have a cool car and thier friends consider you popular
35 and above that have been married, have kids, and are SELF SUFFICIENT....Will be with you because the WANT to, and when its over...its over.
Here is my take on parenting, I haven't been a parent for as long as some but I know enough and have been on this planet long enough to have an opinion and how i want my children raised.
Being supportive for your kids is great, doing all that you can for them is great. I also thnk it is very important for kids to learn to be independent at a young age. Hell my brother and I would play for hours and hours on our own or with friends without Mom or Dad around. One of the reasons I was able to move out at 19 and make it totally on my own is no doubt owed to the fact that my single mother helped me learn to be independent as well as being a great mother when I needed her. I see such a great deal of disrespect by children towards their parents and all adults nowadays and it makes me ill. Respect and discipline start in the home and it means sometimes not doing the easy thing but in the end hopefully it will keep them off the streets. I will not tolerate my step son or my little girl EVER talking to me the way some kids do. If there is no respect in the home there will be none anywhere else.
Constantly indulging them and giving them everything they want is bad. The world won't indulge them and they will not be prepared for anything when they grow up. I hate nothing more when I go out and see spoiled little brats barking at their parents I want this or I want that. They don't learn to appreciate anything, sure they do in the moment but its because they are happy. and only expect everything.
I want nothing but the best for my little girl. But giving her everything is not what is best for her. But I want her to grow up and appreciate things and learn the things need to be earned and are not owed to her.
In the end all you can do is your best but you have to always think is what you are doing better for you or for you kids?

I don't play games, I don't lie, I hate cheaters, I pay for dates, I am nice and respectfull, I have a decent career, I own my own home, I am STD free, I would say I am great at sex but that would be a lie, I work out and groom well, I like seeing the girl I'm with happy, etc.
The more I do the above things the quicker they lose interest it seems. Being the guy mentioned above apparently becomes "boring". Thus why I will never be that nice guy again.
