Men behave like small children until they are 43, a new study has revealed.
Both the sexes agreed on the fact that men remain immature well into their late thirties and early forties, the Daily Express reported.
In the case of women, they were regarded as being mature 11 years earlier at the age of 32.
The survey, which was conducted by Nickelodeon UK to mark the launch of the new show based on a carefree bachelor finding himself the guardian of his wise 12-year-old nephew, revealed that eight out of ten women interviewed believed that males never stop being childish.
The ladies also asserted that men's most prominent childish acts were their amusement with flatulence, eating fast food in the early hours and playing video games.
Other signs of immaturity included staying silent after rows, racing another car at traffic lights, being unable to cook simple meals and sniggering at rude words.
