The level at which one understands society's, and
opposite sex's appeal to oneself. Is able to recognize appropriate times to act immature and can confidently carry themselves through times of despair,
relationship issues, job interviews, exams, family problems, etc.
A mature person is mentally free of all immature excuses such as, egocentric blameworthiness, "too tired", "I forgot", or
lying for cover. Instead, a mature person will respond to issues with admittance and apologize.
