Somehow, I just don't see that happening. I went to college and I got less mature, one can only hope this cycle continues.

Not true. When I was a freshman everybody used to play the "Penis" game.

Now I'm a sophomore and no one does it; reference to it elicits derisive remarks such as "Stupid freshmen!"

Absolutely true. I was more mature when I was 18 than now when I'm 26...

I got religion, then I got miserable.:beam:

Well, I'm only 22, but thus far I think I've got better at hiding my imaturity.

Kinda like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0BBvUO4V5o)? Or is it something completely different?

I've done that at work using hand-held price scanners.

I was talking more about vulgarity and not accepting things needed to be taken in moderation. But its whatever

I've gotten more mature about a few things.

Still pretty lazy though.

Imma secret slob. That is, I'm ridiculously serious in public, but ridiculously immature in private or amongst friends/family. :wacko:

I think too much maturity and your boring as crap, so i hang on to a little bit of immaturity and its generally more fun.... though farting jokes and noises... are sooooo immature... but even as a teenager i thought they were... and not funny

For me at that stage (leaving home) it represented a switch from "enforced maturity" (enforced by parents and teachers who thought it their job to help me grow up right) to "voluntary maturity". So I guess there was a little backsliding in the maturity department at first, 'til I found my own natural, self-imposed level.

What means more mature? :evilgrin:

Practice is stronger than a few wasted words. :yes:

I'm not very mature yet either, but I'm slowly starting to get the idea that one should learn more than one week before some exams. Maybe if this trend continues I can finish uni when I'm 50 and be somewhat disciplined as well. :2thumbsup:

I think it's only true if you get married. Women will drag you kicking and screaming into maturity.

LOL. Then you'd be sailing aboard the good ship S.S. KukriKhan. I don't recommend it as a career-path. Kukri says: "Get as much schooling as you can possibly afford, and finish it successfully."

It'll make your 20's, 30's, and even 50's much better and easier to survive.

Depends on the person or persons I guess.



Besides, if you hate that game, just chop the penis off then :laugh4:!

report from the front:

today i saw most of the senior guys crowded around something, obviously fascinated by it. when i looked, it was dinosaur egg oatmeal (the kind that has the candy dinosaur eggs that "hatch"). soooo mature.... :rolleyes2:

It's not your smiley; it's the org's smiley. Your using it is a privilege, not a right.

I don't self impose. I don't like limits. :laugh4:

What made you change? Was it a woman? They seem to be behind all of this, them and children.

Yes, actually. A girl-woman observed that I "never uttered an unnecessary word". I thought that was a compliment, but she didn't mean it that way; she was criticizing my up-tight-ness, which she explained had been imposed by authority figures in my life.

So, I went the other way for a few years: no limits, and became some kinda 60's hedonist-nihilist.

O'course the girl-woman soon moved on to convert more uptight guys to her new religion of liberation. Years later, I heard she ended up marrying a lawyer and living in the 'burbs with 5 kids.
