Is it true that the mental maturity of a 35 yr old American equals that of a 10 yr old Asian..?

I doubt it. Culture might account for differences but as Asian cultures continue adopting western influences any disparity in maturity behaviour will even out. In a few generations the entire world will be a mass of babbling idiots.

Some people have the misconception that age = wisdom.

I agree with that.  Some people no matter what their actual age is stay juvenile and young forever!!!

around 19 to 20. but a male is not mentally matured until his late 20's (25 - 26)

I did when I was a kid, but now I'm 38 and know better. It doesn't get good 'till you hit 30. I think our idea of "old" tends to change the older we get.

Not necesssarily.  The young may, or may not, have better morals, but they tend to have more confidence in the future.  It is the middle aged person who has reached the plateau, and is perhaps seeing younger people being promoted over him, who is likely to go bad.

i think so... maybe it depends on who's older and stuff like that

Yes.  It is better for a woman to date a guy who is older because of the differences in maturity, but if a woman is okay with that, there is nothing wrong with it.

I have met individuals of other cultures who were mature enough at 13.  On the other hand, I know some 40 something year olds who still behave like they should be learning about dating and relationships without the complications of sex.  Personally, I was married 17.  I do not recommend this for most other people.

Older people have a wider pool of experience to draw from.  I don't know anything specifically about your older friends, but there are some things I would do differently if I had the chance to do them over again.  My life is okay, but I believe it would be a  lot better if I had finished college.  That's just one example.  It's not that younger people are dumb, they just haven't had 20, 30, 40 years of making good and bad decisions to avoid making mistakes based on previous knowledge.

nah...\n\nPeople have been complaining that the current generation is worse than the past ones literally since Aristotle. Times changes, as do attitudes and fads. Sometimes the old folks (and that would probaby include me at 44) sometimes don't keep up with it and have a lot of nostalgia for what they *think* was there youth.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! It may even make the relationship even better. Sometimes it takes time for people to mature enough to handle a relationship. After 10 years you may be more mature, and better able to communicate.
