  • Hell yeah. Being immature is the best thing in the world; it keeps you youthful. I still watch Spongebob, laugh at fart jokes, act like an overall retard and its great. People who are too serious are boring and will live a dreary life.
  • I'm older than that and I still like cartoons and games and kids drinks, although I can't drink chocolate, I still drink soda and I even play Barbies with my Granddaughter a few years back. Hey, life is for living. There are enough moments in every day when you have to have your "grown-up face on. Have fun when you can:)))))
  • There is a difference between being "child-like" and "childish". You should not have to give up pleasures like you described as an adult. As long as you don't suck your thumb, wet your panties and cry to get your way... all should be good. One of my favorite Sinatra songs is "Young at Heart"... that is one of my anthems.
  • I'm 29 and I wheedle my kids into watching some of the older disney movies (animated). When we had cable, they got me hooked on Lizzie Maguire. I love cotton candy. Most recently, I rewatched "Howard the Duck" with the pet ducks. I hope it's okay to be a little immature for some things.
  • We all have a child inside us. You find ways to enjoy life and thats what is important.
  • Others have provided answers I like... i.e. there's nothing wrong with staying connected to "childish" things you enjoy if you're otherwise taking responsibility for your life. But I want to push the envelope just one step further -- why are you asking us? I understand this is Answerbag, and it's a legitimate and intelligent question, and you're socially comfortable here so it seems like a reasonable thing to do, and all of that is fine... yet still, why? The reason I ask that question is because the light on my dashboard is flashing -- the light says you're not quite looking to yourself fully to decide what is OK or not OK about yourself. In other words, full maturity is "the buck stops here: I look in the mirror to find out if I'm OK or not, if I'm meeting the appropriate standards or not". As long as one is still looking to others for that certainty, development along this road is incomplete. So there's nothing to do about this, it's not a suggestion that you should change... but it is worth being aware of, I think. Hope it's taken in that spirit.
  • For sure my hubby and I still like kids cartoons and chocolate milk is a must for all ages. And cute things your s/o will appreciate it for your childlike ways its a sign of tenderness.
  • everybody has to keep that "childlike" nature. It's what keeps me from going crazy. I still love to watch tweety bird and I collect tweety bird ornaments. You have to enjoy life. too many people just work to pay bills and then die and never enjoy life. I would rather be around someone who knows how to relax and have fun than someone who is serious all the time..as long as you know when to be serious
  • My wife thinks im childish because I still love fruit snacks lol! But i dont care. Yes people still need to have a young aspect or they will get to serious.
  • Age is just a number. Part of being mature is recognizing your immaturity and being as balanced as possible. I'm 24, and I still sometimes cry when I don't get my way LOL. I love cartoons. I brought a hoodie to work today with owls on it. I don't think it's negative or unattractive. I think it's cute to be in touch with the inner child and never grow too rigid or severe. Being mature, when necessary, is what counts.
  • My wife caught me watching Ninja Turtles last Saturday when she came downstairs. She made fun of me but I didn't care. I've never heard of anyone getting a divorce on grounds of watching too much Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
  • The word, immature, is not applicable to entertainment and culinary affinities. I think the colloquial term, girly, may be more appropriate. There's nothing wrong with that and some guys would find it very attractive.
  • it absolutely is ok. i like cartoons and chocolate milk and im 30! =)~
  • No I think its fine and normal,hell I'm 41 and am the same way about a lot of things.
  • Keep the inner child for as long as possible - mine is sometimes the only thing that cheers me up when I get sick of work and bills!
  • Hey, I love cartoons and chocolate milk. Chocolate milk and cheese toast. Mmmmm. I'm older than you, and I still have some My Little Ponies. I think you're probably ok.
  • I would think so. I hate those people who cannot be serious in a serious conversation. So i admire your ability to flip back and forth.
