An emotionally mature person is comfortable being alone, she/he can admit that they prefer to have a significant other or special someone, but is not willing to compromise one's values just for the companionship. One should not have to ever settle for less than for who or what one deserves.... which is at the very least, another who is one's equal in every respect.
So, to all you Peter Pans out there, having fun and a playful attitude are integral parts of any relationship I agree. It is a scientific fact that laughing is not only healthy it also prolongs life. They forgot to add that laughing also prolongs love. But speaking as a mature woman, I trust that I am emotionally mature, I am not interested in a man who doesn't want to grow up. I desire a mature male who can truly appreciate a woman who knows who she is, what she wants and is not afraid to express herself. Make note here, "mature" does not necessarily refer to one's age.

(By the way ladies, pick up a copy of "Men's Health" and learn some of the things that do give us a clue... after all, how many years have men been reading "Cosmopolitan?")
