This user caught me unawares

I have one user in mind with your description there, and I wonder if we are thinking of the same one... I enjoy checking users' profiles; it's part of my myLotting fun as I said here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2649291.aspx I guess right most of the time; but yes, there are few users who caught me off guard. They may seem mature for their age, or the other way around. But I tend to think that those who say they are in their late 40s and their posts clearly show that they cannot be are just lying about their age here.

Hi, Maybe somebody else is doing the writing for her? If it is true that she wrote every single thing on her post, then she had advanced thinking not common among younger persons. But the, how can we tell it is really her own words? I have no idea how, short of giving her a quiz in real time. Then how can we be sure it is her real age? If I can see the birth certificate then, her youth may be established with certainty. Just my thoughts, I am cautions by nature, especially when navigating on the high seas or in the jungle like the world wide web.

Age and maturity does not go hand in hand in some exceptional cases.I know of a few people in real life who are very mature and philosophical for their age; the corollary is also there because I have seen eighty year old people behaving in an immature spoilt manner.

Hmmmm.. seems to be a mystery to be solved. But still it doesn't matter as long as he/she is mylot fanatic. And we can learn something and have a great discussion with him/her then its all good. Maybe, they are two people having one account sharing ideas..

Well this is world of technology, now children of 3-4 years are operating I phones, Android mobiles and computers.Obviously the exposure is so much more.One can download various eBooks on different subjects easily, reading and understanding them will make your smarter and improve your IQ,and that reflects in your answers and attitude.This is one part though ,another thing is experiences in life,some people have to struggle a lot from young age.They don't get the support and protection many people get,so they learn the hard way.That makes them gain maturity faster than others.This is just my opinion but i think maturity has lot to do with intelligence and pragmatic approach.Best wishes.

I had the same a few weeks ago here. I wonder if its the same member. Let me go see her profile..

whoops looks like I have my facebook photo on my profile. Not too hard to see my age. Anyway, I rarely look at profiles unless I'm doing a friend request. since I am recently back on here after some time away, I'm seeing more profiles. There are very thoughtful responses on here so it will be interesting to see if I can guess correctly. I will enjoy seeing maturity in a youthful member. I wonder though if everyone is entirely honest about age?

I have experienced that situation several times. I don't look at other members' profiles very often. I tend to base my impression of other members on the things that they write when they start discussions or respond to discussions. I recognixe their names when I see them, but I am not friends with them and I have never looked at their profile, I only have a mental picture of them based on the impression that I got through the things they have written. Sometimes I get surpriced when I visit their profile, because they are much younger or older than I expected. I have read a quote about maturity: "Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated" I believe that is true.

On this one game site I visit, there are many teens there who have the maturity expected of someone in their 30s and up. Its always a surprise to me to find out their real age.

I never really mind, viewing profiles. I just like responding articles or discussions whivh seems interesting to me. I have never been too curious about anyone here, maybe soon I just don't know why. Maybe I am just pre-occupied on responding discussions and on how the discussions go seems to be my impressiob to such person.

"Wisdom comes with age"...Ha! Not all the time! I act much younger than my age at times when it comes to joking with my friends, girlfriend, or family. I love being silly, but mostly I am serious. Sometimes certain people bring out different sides of a person too. Like here in myLot, there is one user I answer his discussions jokingly, because he is always so serious. He rarely answers me, but I expect that.

that's what i realized when i joined mylot. i'm amazed at the depth and breadth of the experiences of the members in my country and around the world. it makes you open to other points of views and see your own situation differently and maybe question the status quo.

I don't know. Why else someone have to lie in mylot ? This is not facebook where most users lie a lot. Maybe than very few users are lying about their age like her, even here. But most are correct,i think. OR maybe the user you are referring to is very hard worker, and knows a lot about writing.

maturity is nothing to do with age. in fact what makes one more mature depends on the experiences one gains through his life.one can also be more mature by reading more books as books expose us to many things in life. so i personally feel maturity and age doesnt go hand in hand with each other

Hello dear Allknowing I hope that you are fine. I use to watch users profiles when they refer to their country, or when I read something that stranges me. I look to profile to know about which country they are writting from. Well I think that maturity and age doesn´t fit. Each time my teens hit me with a very wise phrase I just admire them, and I remember young Jesus wisdom, but I also see that my teens are mindfresh. They don´t have so many duties as we adults have. Blessings Allknowing... dainy

I don't go with the profile either, unless they're using their real photo. Anyone can post/write fake information. I've encountered one who wrote Male- but infact he is a SHE. It's hard to determine the real age or gender from the profile alone, particularly here in Mylot.

maturity and me I love the way I am and let the things come on to me for delivery as they come... Though I dont feel comfortable in that guessing game for ages of lotters, I have had my odd days when I had guessed someone to be a male and then the he was a she...

It may just be that it's either not her real age or her line of thinking is more advance than her age.

Hi ! Maturity and age goes hand in hand is not true to all. I am a one of the exemption . So many times where in it is always the child in me that speaks and dominates. Sometimes because i felt shame i controlled and tamed it but there are many unguarded times where in it really goes out unconsciously . I maybe at right age but dominant in me is my child side. This is sometimes risky i know for one wrong decision , life and life's of others or my future or their future will be damaged. That is why in making a major decision i got to think before opening my mouth to check whether i have done the right thing or not so no regret will happen at the end. Sometimes i will ask my close confidant about a decision .

Hi there! I think she reads a lot or is very socially active to share thoughts that are very mature. I think, nowadays, it is to learn anything and everything. "Age doesn't matter" isn't only applicable in love anymore, even in mylot ;)
