A new study shows that guys don't really mature until they're 43. They have a list of things that they classify as " immature "
The list
1. Finding their own farts and burps hilarious
2. Eating fast food at 2:00am
3. Playing videogames
4. Driving too fast or 'racing' another car at the lights or on the motorway
5. Sniggering a bit at rude words
6. Driving with loud music
7. Playing practical jokes
8. Trying to beat children at games and sport
9. Staying silent during an argument
10. Not being able to cook simple meals
11. Re-telling the same silly jokes and stories when with the lads
12. Don't like talking about themselves/ having proper conversations
13. Hating books/reading because of short attention span/they're boring
14. Doing crazy dance moves
15. Mum still doing their washing
16. Having their Mum still make them breakfast/any meal
17. Wearing trainers to night clubs
18. Owning a skateboard or BMX

What I find annoying about the study is how they don't include reading fiction, watching movies or playing board/card/pnp games. they're all the same thing they just seem to have a different level of social acceptance.I don't really care that some old geezer is wasting government money on this nonsense, but it does bug me that they pick people who are so out of touch with modern culture.
I'm 40 and I have no plans to grow up. I'm going to go put on my super hero PJ's and play some video games!

Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
Everyone's immature in thier own way. If you find someone who isn't, they're probably dead...from boredom.

I still do a handful of that, these things are silly imo. It is like the you are a problem drinker if you ever drink to get drunk. I drink a handful of times a year, but yeah will still play drinking games and get smashed on the occasion, if I am a alcoholic, I am a piss poor one at that.
I think if you are a grown adult and 'mum' is still doing a lot for you, you have more problems than being immature.

Getting up and going to work every day
Making sure the house payment gets made.
Making sure there is food in the fridge
Being satisfied with $15 in MMO subscriptions and a case of beer because a $15,000 vacation means no college fund.
I'm so glad someone is there to nitpick the little things.
Gee, guess I should head up to the local Thursday evening 'classic car night' and tell all those guys that they're immature for having nice-sounding exhaust systems on their classic cars.
The majority of this list is just one big /facepalm.
It's a sad day indeed when a family is too afraid of reprisals to publicly thank somebody for saving their lives.
I think this is actually an elaborate troll attempt. Either that or some old guy in a wheelchair is saying "Back in my day! WE HAD NO FUN! It was all work no play!"

very few of those applies to me, but i am child at heart
and have no intentions knowing people that cant say otherwise, because they either lying or well lying
What does #21 even mean!!?
And from a woman's POV, a wise and seasoned man knows that staying silent during an argument with a woman is often the only safe route out!
Well, I'm 34 and still do a lot of that stuff - especially failing @ cooking.

Not saying that it is a sign of immaturity, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one.
It takes almost no effort or skill to cook simple meals on par with fast food joints. With only a little more effort and skill one can beat many restaurants in terms of quality. (Its far less difficult than most people think, mostly because they have to churn out those dishes at an incredible rate, rather than being able to focus or experiment) Healthier and/or better tasting food for less money, not exactly a bad idea to try doing.
For reference, this statement is coming from an engineering student with zilch free time most days and about as much artistic ability as a rock. If I can learn to become a good cook, pretty much anyone can.
On topic,
I actually have to agree with most of the points on that list. Perhaps that makes me a boring asshole. But yeah, playing video games? My father just finished kicking my arse in a Halo match last week. My mother has recently been obsessed with playing Skyrim. Both are stable individuals with long lasting careers, both are nearing sixty years of age.

ahh, alas, this list seems to be done by Nick Jr instead.....
and nothings wrong with half the crap on that list-it can be annoying at times, tru, but whats the point of life if you never have any fun?? thus the list made by unfun people about fun people...
