This is why women around that age tend to appear cruel - because they haven't matured more than men, not in the slightest.
    I disagree with you EMFM - there is good reason why everyone thinks they are more mature. Women tend to know by 16 what men understand by 36 in general - after that its fair game, i agree.

    Women are better managers, far more reliable decision makers, more resilient, more self knowledgeable and more practical. Until their 30's men are generally hopeless; confused, insecure or by contrast arrogant and egoitistical - which are basically the two sides of the same coin. Men generally rationalise life using the conscious mind (ie the RAM) and end up with the short end of the stick as life often defies logic while women use their insticts and intuition that is the subconscious (ie the CPU) that are infinitely more powerful devices of perception.

    I think that their prospective role as mothers plays a part in all these qualities being formed earlier in women. Having the responsibilities of raising younglings is a role so crucial that it can be entrusted only to the very best.

    This doesnt make them kinder or saintly - its maturity and life "wisdom" that we talk about here.

    What kind of women do you hang out with?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Both sides of the gender aisle have about the same level of immaturity they usually just manifest it in different ways.

    Agreed, girls at that age just appear to be more collected and calm.

    It depends how you define immaturity (and so maturity)... if immaturity means making mistakes in how you treat friends or partners - then i agree with you; nobody will ever be without such though.

    However i meant maturity as that quality that enables one to know who he is and therefore what he is suppose to be and do relative to his life context; in my experience and view women are far better at this.

    Women are surely not without their defects: female vanity, small-mindedness, being harsh, being self-centered and hedonistic and they are really prone at them. Even so, they face them realistically and recognize them as such (defects) for the most part.

    Men on the other hand are often unable to face their flaws as such - they tend in fact to love them and be more proud about them than their qualities.

    The best reason they appear more collected and calm is because they are - but i know (firsthand) that men your age will never acknowledge this - its quite infuriating and is a large part of the "battle of the sexes".

    What in the world makes you compare that to RAM and CPU? The comparison is flawed about as badly as it can be - the two are both unrelated to the original subject, and are related to each other in a different way than the primary example.

    Now firmly grasp the RAM stick, and gently, with both hands, insert it into the waiting slot. Use enough force that it mades a satisfying sound once it has beem rammed home. Then repeat.

    Now, if you have a capacitor leak, you must be very careful...

    And remember to get a firm, sticky connection between the CPU and the heatsink. A sweaty paste of thermal goop helps seal them, allowing heat to throb between the components. Don't press them together too hard, mind.

    You are living in the past Lemur, these days the thermal goop is already on, ready to go whenever you are. This way there can't be any fumbling, just pure unadulterated fun.
