Mature is another subjective ambiguous term. Using "mature" has both opened and closed doors in my use of the term. I like to think mature refers to someone who has some years behind them which has led to some level of wisdom and awareness about themselves, others, and what truly "floats their boat."

Everyone has their own definition and it changes as they do throughout life. Besides, it's overrated. It's much more fun to be young at heart and enjoy life no matter what age you are.

I like to say that I enjoy mature gals who are young at heart, and young gals with mature attitudes.

I've met more than a few gals whose attitudes are more mature than some of their elder counterparts, so really the term has to be defined well.

Age is also not the end all and be all, even as regards to looks, as some gals do a great job of staying in shape, and other gals, not so much

it means she's advertising as over 40, but may have hit the half-century mark.

Why not break it down into 10 replies 31-35, 36-40, ... for the slow-witted among us who couldn't figure out your first post? Do you think we're a bunch of BELOWAverageEverydayJoes?  

As all of the others have pointed out, your chronological classification is meaningless without consideration of more important personal factors
