I do. I know first hand from living with one that they never grow up. Have you ever seen a grown man stay up until 3am on a week night because they just got a new playstation game. Or beg for a xbox for christmas. They may put on the suit and tie and go through the grown up motions at work but when they get home and come to games and playing with kids they are still a kid theirselves.

i don't agree with that, i think it's just in the nature of men to be more inclined in doing childly things compared to women, well, women on the other hand are in nature very vain which i don't see on most of the men i met..

I agree with you, since there is a child in every human being, Men on the other hand are always there putting up a mask to protect thier families and loved ones and can hardly get a chance to be themselves with everyone. So i dont think its bad to let them be a child to be comfortable with thier kids and loved ones at home, we all have a child in us and whats the harm in showing that when we are in our comfort zone our family?

Video games - Video games
I totally agree!! My husband is 31, and he still plays video games! But not just a bit, once in a blue moon, like almost everyday for hours at a time. I don't get it what is so fun of playing these video games, instead of spending time with me, or playing with our dogs. And when men are sick with the flu or other, they act like real babies. I'm not saying they're all like this, but a lot of them are.

I have to agree, I am a man, and sometimes , well it is just fun to stay up until 3am because of a new game, or something special on tv/dvd (like The Godfather). It is fun.

I'm a game lover myself.. i think it's just a way of releasing stress coz we enjoy playing makes us more relaxed

Oh gosh, yeah. Or if they do grow up they are really slow to mature lol. I also find that little boys are much whinier than little girls. That doesn't seem to change as they age LOL.

No not realy men do have a childlike mentality sometimes but don't be fooled it's all an act!! We just need to relax sometimes and that manifests itself in the playstation game. Why don't you involve yourself with he's intrests be subtle though!

This is definatly true for some men. Some men still go out and party like a teenager on a Saturday night, some even still try to pick up young girls. This isn't true for all men though, some do grow up eventually.

i agree on SOME men well MOST men, they are known scientifically to mature later in years then females.. which u can most deffinatly tell most men are very imature till there about close to 30 years old... the young years of their lives are spent doing imature things..u rarely find a mature 25 year old

I happen to have an xbox, and yes I have stayed up late playing games. My wife bought it for me as a christmas present. Personally, I'm 43 yrs old, but I joke around that I have the mind of a 15 yr old. There is nothing wrong with acting like a kid again, it keeps us young at heart.

Yes I agree. Men grow up in their stature alone. Their hearts and minds are always young! They kid around with their kids and partners and play pranks even if they are 40 years old! Cheers
