Every individual is different, so no.

Yeah, I agree. I also think girls tend to overstate how mature they are.

Men just take more risks.
Which means they do stupid things more often.
Really doesn't have much to do with "maturity" imho.

I think all the things people use to interpret maturity have nothing to do with maturity but either socialization or biology.
I have met very few emotionally mature females of any age.
Overall they do, but that doesn't mean that every girl will.

How do you know they do overall? I'm skeptical about that.

Really? Even women your mother' sage or grandmother's age? I notice a considerable maturity gap between girls my age and women in their 40s and up.

'' Scientists documented the ebb and flow of new neural connections, and found that some brain fibers that bridged far-flung regions of the brain tended to remain stable, while shorter connections, many of which were redundant, were edited away. And the entire reorganization seemed to occur sooner in girls’ brains than in boys’ brains.
Females also tended to have more connections across the two hemispheres of the brain. The researchers believe that the earlier reorganization in girls makes the brain work more efficiently, and therefore reach a more mature state for processing the environment. ''
It depends on the person. My sister is five years younger than me and is a whole bunch more responsible than I am.

One of my friend's gf is a needy a** b***h that gives him a shitton of headaches.

But is that necessarily emotional maturity?

Yes I have and as I've said ITT I'm skeptical of the claim that girls emotionally mature faster.

I would think so, what else?
Look at it as a computer, getting rid of useless crap means you get more room for important information.
And by not spending power on junk you can spend more on the important things, like emotions, meaning they would have better developed emotions.
