My daughter is 27 and nephew 25, both college educated professionals, she is married and he is in a serious relationship. They are very mature but fun people though. Total goof balls. So is my son in law. My younger nephew is just out of high school and starts college in the fall. He works two jobs now trying to save for a car and is very mature and responsible yet he is lots of fun.

Yes, I agree. However, there are things that society labels as immature simply because they do not conform to the conventionally accepted idea of what a person at that age should be doing. I mentioned earlier how the other kids used to pick on me when I was in middle school because I was into things like Pokemon. Well, the same kind of thing persists into adulthood in our society. Some examples. The way you dress. If a person in their 40s wears converse sneakers or colored denim, they will be judged. Why? What do clothes have to do with maturity? Another example, reading manga is considered childish and immature. Why? It's funny, an 30 year old can read Harry Potter and that's normal, but if a 30 year old reads Naruto, it's weird. NARUTO IS BASICALLY A NINJA VERSION OF HARRY POTTER! This is just one example. It is the same thing when it comes to seeking casual dating. Just like with manga and converse sneakers, society just arbitrarily decided that casual dating relationships are only for people under 25 or whatever, even though they appeal to people of all ages. You know, even something like taking road trips with the guys, people consider something like that abnormal for people past a certain age. People are just ridiculous the more you think about it.
