Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is.

In my experience, it's all wonderful with girls until about 16. Around that time, boys kind of calm down and start focusing their testosterone. Girls get a little challenging, especially for fathers.

Boys in their twenties are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally; they're immature. I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his thirties.

No one told me about boys. I had to figure it out myself. The first thing I learned was that sometimes they grow slower than women mentally.

A boy becomes an adult three years before his parents think he does, and about two years after he thinks he does.

I can't speak for boys because I'm not one! But I just imagine they think differently.

See things from the boy's point of view.

We teenage girls are faced with a quandary: we know what we want but are forced to wait for our male counterparts to grow up. We are ready for intense and meaningful relationships, but research indicates that males will not reach maturity until their mid-20s.

I'm not very experienced with boys or the whole dating thingy.

When it comes to raising civilized kids there are no hard rules, but there are two things on which most parents agree: Boys are generally wilder than girls, and adolescents are wilder than kids of any other age. If you've got an adolescent boy, you're in the sweet spot for trouble.
