Only some adults are as immature as children?So basically that opinion warrants the same reply you gave me, with 'gamers' replacing 'humans': "It is also true that certain severely mentally challenged gamers are less intelligent than chimps. But it cannot therefore be reasoned that chimps, as a whole, are smarter than gamers.Exhibiting traits associated with age would be wisdom, intelligence, growth, vocabulary, & mentality. But we are talking about personality maturity...and I don't think most people try to grow personally. Sure, some people learn to hide their social immaturity better than others, but that doesn't mean they are no longer immature. Ever been divorced or know anyone that has? How mature was that situation handled? If adults are more mature, why is the divorce rate so high and why does it usually end so badly? I would think a mature couple could work problems out...and if not, I would think most of those couples would end the marriage peacefully. Ever been flipped off or honked at while driving? Ever seen an adult whine, complain, & argue in a D&D game? Ever seen an adult yell at a waiter for not giving him the service he demands? Ever been mad at a lover and not talked to them for awhile? Ever talked bad about a boss behind his back? Personality wise, I don't think we act any more mature than children...we just show our immaturity in different ways. I'm not impressed by anyones large vocabulary or impressive social status. That doesn't make them more mature than others. I work at a top notch University where my boss (an 80 y/o well known professor) has shown his immaturity at times and it surprised the heck out of me. I've seen the rich "sophisticated"  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  socialites here act like teenage girls. I've been in numerous altercations with random adults on the streets because of their immaturity. Come to think about it, I've had more random adult men & women start arguments with me in public than I've ever had young men trying to start trouble with me.</blockquote>
