I'm sure there is a lot of variation in maturation levels between people, so not everyone can be fit into the same mold Burlyman. Some people mature quicker than others, so you're right, it's not good to fit everyone into the same box. But in general, older age equals more experience and more life experience usually equals more wisdom.

On average though, 25 is the age at which the prefrontal cortex finishes developing, and a fully developed prefrontal cortex is required for making good judgements:

Speaking of "gold diggers" Spidey, Rupert Murdoch is married to a woman 38 years his junior. Why a young beautiful woman would marry a wrinkled old horny guy like Murdoch, for the "love" and "companionship" is beyond me, unless it was for the money. But I guess my tastes and standards must be a little different....... :P
