As a guy who strives everyday, like almost every man to act as responsible, mature or “manly” as can be, I sometimes try to evaluate myself to check how responsible or matured I am. But it can be difficult as a guy sometimes.
How exactly do ladies gauge a guy’s maturity? In a bid to gain a correct perspective, I would like contributions from ladies.
So ladies, who is a mature man to you?
What characteristics do you see in a man that makes you want to become his friend or partner, or how can you identify a “husband material”?
- Is it his spirituality?
- His body build?
- Job and financial stability?
- Responsibility and Disciplne
- Fashion sense?
- What exactly???
Guys, what do ladies tell you maturity means to them? What have you done that got ladies seeing you as mature or immature?
Kindly leave a comment below, I am really hoping to gain from your contributions. Thanks

For me, maturity would be relations in which we have no airs. Naked conversations, without pretense and sharing of mental layers without shame.
I totally agree with Demilade.
But, I believe different ladies have different things they want in guys.
I won’t deny that I don’t regard financial stability as maturity, because I do! A lot!
But I wouldn’t let that overshadow other values like spirituality and responsibility.
Different strokes for different folks my dear
A mature man to me is a man that can sit down and have a conversation with me. One that speaks out about things and doesn’t assume that i know. One that has focus on who he wants to be in life. A man that’s not easily angered. One that has a sense of humor please.
Maturity is wisdom and experience. It is knowing what to do, knowing when to do, and doing it at the right time. It also means standing out and not following the crowd. It means being your own man, having strong opinions and still being open to other opinions. It means being able to subject to logical reasoning and remaining emotionally considerate.
Maturity may come with age but not always. It may come with exposure but not always. It may come with internal reasoning and it may come with experience.
But the most important thing to note is that there is no measure of maturity and maturity is relative to different individuals. Everyone is unique….therefore maturity is personal growth
When I think of maturity I think responsibility. Making decisions regularly, being firm, dynamic, and reasonable. A man should be able to process facts, truths, and other relevant information logically.
He must have the ability to stand alone, or to cooperate with others. Maturity is also common sense, there are some things you’d expect from a man at a given age. However, our environment can alter a few things but then again common sense is basic. It’s a must have!
Maturity is knowing your strengths and weaknesses, your excesses and your limits. Maturity is knowing when to ask for help without feeling any less and maturity is also knowing when to stick it out.
Maturity is being your own unique person, an individual, comfortable in your own skin.
Maturity is being open minded, listening to learn from others around you without taking offense when you fall short.
I think almost everyone here has taken the words from my mouth.
For me, its being strong yet vulnerable.
Its basically not being extreme in any emotion you feel because society makes you feel that if you aren’t hard core you aren’t man enough. Its allowing yourself to truly feel.
To be wise, to admit even when you’re foolish and you make mistakes.
