The level at which one understands society's, and opposite sex's appeal to oneself. Is able to recognize appropriate times to act immature and can confidently carry themselves through times of despair, relationship issues, job interviews, exams, family problems, etc.

A mature person is mentally free of all immature excuses such as, egocentric blameworthiness, "too tired", "I forgot", or lying for cover. Instead, a mature person will respond to issues with admittance and apologize.

Maturity...
Immature:

Police Officer - do you know how fast you were driving before I pulled you over?

Driver (lying) - I didn't even know what the speed limit was?

Mature:

Police Officer - Do you know how fast you were driving before I pulled you over?

Driver (honest and apologetic) - My apologies officer but I believe I was traveling around 15 over the speed limit.

Maturity

The thing that people who argue about it DON'T have.

"Maturity is learning from your mistakes."

"NO. Maturity is when you don't make mistakes anymore, AKA absolute maturity."

Yeah, not very mature people

Maturity Spurt

An unprecedented rise in maturity similar to that of a growth spurt.

Local 1: Hey why did the chicken cross the road?
Local 2: I have no idea, it would be spectacular if you could tell me.
Local 1: To get to the other side
Local 2: I do not find that even slightly humorous.
Local 1: But you found that funny last week
Local 2: Yes well I have had a maturity spurt which allows me to realize the childish nature of that joke.
