A Quick Question I Need Answered For My English Assignment That Deals With Maturity.
On The Statement "Boys Think, Boys Act"
What Are Your Thoughts. I Decided I Should Post It Here Due To It Being In The Context Of A Movie Im Making About Maturity.
Do You Think Its Ture Or Not? Why?
Eg: True Because Girls Think About Situations And Boys Just Do What they Want.
I just think it's sexist to say girls are the 'cleverer ones' by 'thinking beforeQuote:

I know more girls who act before thinking than boys. It's just that girls take longer when they do stop and think, because us guys know how to do things ;)
Untrue, speaking from a technical proseptive, Yes there are major diffences in the Male and femail desion makeing proccess (keep in mind this is still a genralistion, many femails think in the male time way, while many males thing in the femail type way. This dosnt effect sexualty)
Some of the diffences in the desion makeing proccess are highligted in the Glamorgan univistys study.
(best i could find at short notice on the web, website related but gives relivant details)

the statement "Boys Think, Boys Act" doesnt realy make much sence to me ether, since its situation depenatant on the thought proccess, thinking before you act in some circumsatcnes may be a metrit, in others youd be dead becuse of it, the thought proccess is fully capble of running simlatuanus with actaion, and on an unconiose level, like our thinking, Without need to concoisly overview it in our minds also. You cannot act unless you thinking (or its a inbuilt central nervossystem reaction), so whether you refer to the consiose mode of thought or the unconiose one kinda changes the entire question "/
Sexist or what ey? lol :oQuote:

I think its been proven scientifically, that most girls mature quicker than boys. Which ultimately means that girls are more likely to think through their thoughts before acting upon them. With boys, some do act before thinking, but i think thats human nature which goes back to neanderthol times. It can't be helped, thats how our brains work.
No that just means that 12 year old girls are stuck up while the 12 year old boys still think the word "bottom" is funny.
Come to think of it, it is quite a funny word.
Phiscal maturety has no effect on whether or not you think before takeing an action "/.Quote:

Thanks For Everyones Replies. And As For The Mistake......
Bad Day, And I Cant Edit The Post!
As For The "Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks At Them" Sticker Pmsl I Have One Too
[As A Joke Guys Are Hawt And Smart]. The Statement "Girls Think Boys Act" Was Said By My English Teacher And I Strongly Disagree With the Sexist Approach. All The Girls Magazines That Are Out Today Show Boys As Creatures And Immature Figures.
Personally I Think Maturity Is A Process That Takes Years.
Not Only Physically Do You Have To Mature But Mentally.
No-one Can Be 100% Mature Either, Because We All Have A Small Child Within Us. Mmmm Small Child, Lol.
Maturity Is Both Good And Bad Though, And The Border Is So Thin. In Finnishing What Ever Floats Your Boat!
Thanks For Doing Part Of My Assignment Everyone, Lol
What about trannys? Lol :l
If he/she hadn't been banned they would have gotten such a reppin' from me :P Basically wins the argument though if you think about it - they're both, does that make transexuals/hermaphrodites better than us?
You can't just stereotype half of the world as stupid just because of what they keep in their trousers.
O.o I laughted at that.Quote:

I think girls like to think they are mature when they are so not.
I don't really think it applies particularly to a specific gender, as everyone is different; some boys may think and act, same with girls, or maybe boys won't think just act, but the same can be said for some girls. It just depends what individual you are looking at
