I used to think the number was 21, but knowing people in their 20s, no
I also know a few people in early thirties, and still no
I guess it's all in spirit. People can still have fun as they get older, but just not get trashed as often/not becoming old and boring

After getting married? I know alot of my relatives who are in their late 20's who have just been married for a few months and are all mature with their wives when before that they were still acting like they were 15 year olds.transcendent said:Is there a general age where you have to start... you know... being mature and acting like a... ugh... an adult?

cool duckie
i act like a kid a lot, but the kid's not that young
when i have to (eg. work-related stuff), of course i act mature, but as long as i can at least have a laugh & have fun i'm happy
i'm with riviet, by the time you're getting engaged/married you should be at least starting to act your age. a married 30-40 year old acting about 20-ish is just weird, yet if they were single you dont take as much notice because they are single (its strange, but its the truth)

when i was younger i thought 20 year olds acted like such adults. but from the younger generation i always get comments that they can't believe how old i am :S I try to not act old around them, but I still think comments are concerning :S
but some adults at 30 and 40 still act young. so i don't think there is an age when you have to start acting old. i think it probably comes with increased responsibility - marriage, job and kids.
so transcendent, no, woot!

i suppose ive always been a bit "too big for my boots" type thing and always thought i was heaps mature and that everyone around me was always really gay....
Wait i still think that. LOL.
But no, seriously. I think when you start putting ur life together; job, house, pets, marriage, kids... blah blah... that you start settling down. Cos like, my mum always says maturity comes with wisdom and experience. And i still tell her that she sounds like a wank when she says that but still, its true.
But then i look at people like my step father and my friends dad and realise, some boys never grow up.

It's different for everyone. I know 19-year-olds who still find fart jokes funny.

Sometimes it's ok to mess around and sometimes you need to be serious.
You can't just act like a stupid boring adult all the time.
