>>11870707Define mental age. The difference in IQ scores between an average adult female and male is measurable (about 2 point) but negligible and largely visuo-spatial. Keep in mind that you are more likely to meet men with 'childlike' intelligence anyway due to our sex's greater variability in intelligence. Of course, this variability also expresses itself at the other tail of the curve as well.
Anecdotally, men are about 5 years behind on most of the life skills that make up what I'd call mental maturity until about their early 30s. I'd hire a 40 year old woman over a 20 year old man for practically any position. A typical 20 year old male is functionally a fucking retard with almost no emotional and motivational self-awareness, even though he is likely to have more raw cognitive horsepower based on the age and sex differential. It's not just the lack of social game, you can't rely on someone who doesn't know for them self what they are after and who is also likely to get tired of constantly losing social capital and give up. I'm confident saying the mental age of young men is much lower than the mental age of young women in all meaningful respects.
I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're posting here, you're probably (very) young, and if you think most of the women you meet in general are childlike compared to you, you're likely wrong. What you may observe as a woman being stupid and emotional is often just her running her social game on you and getting what she wants, even if it makes her look foolish for a few moments (and even if you don't recognize what she wanted).
