When I see it I always assume it is a code for older, say over 40

Mature is imo a term meaning older over 40 or so

you cant have it both ways.
you cant be young and 20 something and say mature as well. Thats where the confusion comes in.
I dont believe its about your pesonality its about where you are in life not just age.
Time and experience is not something you can gain without going through it...the time that is.
Not saying you cant be *mature* for your age, whatever that is, but its different.

some trying to corner the market state mature at 24. if you have to say it, well... theres a nitch like anything else, GFE spinners 20s 30s 40s and mature. in this biz I see it as over 40.
most looking for a mature provider are looking for someone in their own age group,often someone NOT the age of their own daughters, or a younger Gent who loves older women. They dont want someone 25 saying they are mature its not the additude its life experience its not just showing in the lines on your face its everything about you. The life youve lived the things youve seen the sunsets that have shaped your life and who you are. Its who we are for the times weve been through.
It determines all the way down to things that make you laugh, or cry. The miles youve logged on this earth.
Like anything else, we all learn change and grow  *over time* We cant unring the bell go back and be 20something again...and personally I wouldnt want to. well the way I see the term mature being used in this biz, you cant get there without logging in the time. We cant have it both ways.
Youre either a 20something 30s or mature. That doesnt mean you cant BE mature for your age but its not the same thing.
Then again, its just my opinion and open to interpretation...which to everybody means something different.

Anyway...all have a great day!

It is an attitude and the way in which the person acts.  However, much of that attitude cannot be gained without years of experience.  So I am not sure you can have the necessary experiences if you are under 40.

In my time I have seen some providers in their 20's who were more mature and better attitudes than many providers twice their age. Obviously that's not always the case.

In the context of this hobby I interpret "mature" as strictly a reference to age. I think of a 40 year old as still a milf and generally "mature" as at least crowding 50. Attitude is all about the energy and enthusiasm they bring to their job. With all due respect, I couldn't care less about their life experiences any more than my company cares about mine. I'm in the office to do a job and a provider is in a room to do a job. Those who do they're job well act like they're truly glad to see you and there is nowhere they'd rather be. That is what they're getting for...

This makes a great provider at any age

I prefer mature ladies. However that said its a combination of personality and age. Every once in a while you run into someone in real life or here who is in their 20s and acts much more mature, worldly and confident. A lot of it is confidence and self awareness in ones self that leads to maturity. Because the opposite is also true. I work with a guy in his mid 40s who acts like a 19 year old and still thinks it's "cool" to light up his car tires coming off stoplights when he *thinks* he's impressing the ladies in the car next to him. Hopeless. He's never going to advance his career. I could never put him in front of a business client.  

Maturity also has a lot to do with empathy and understanding of others and the ability to see and understand the actions and motivations of others by viewing circumstance from their perspective. Immature people cannot do that effectively. Generally folks in their 30s-50s seem to me to be more mature than those in their 20s. With certain very real exceptions.

I'd argue that "maturity" might also have something to do with the old Volkswagen commercial "In life there are drivers and passengers." Drivers in my opinion are much more mature at younger ages than passengers. Circling back to this world, ladies who are truly independent, successful and motivated are those I consider "mature". Age has less to do with it.  

I don't pay attention to who people say are mature or not. I find that one can predict maturity from both a lady and gent a lot of the time by what people write on posts or on their websites.  

Sorry for long winded response, but I find this stuff (human nature and human action/desire/motivation) simply fascinating. It's so very different from the physical sciences career I have, maybe that's part of my interest

To me "Mature" equals 40+ and "Mature for my age" = less than 4

I'm 55.  And I hope that I never act mature.  I don't want people to think I'm a fossil lol.
