At what age does a girl become a woman and a single woman a spinster?

I would say a girl becomes a woman at 25 and a single woman a spinster at 35. Any opinions?

I am not meaning legal definitions.

They start to panic around

They start to panic around 30. I've seen it, it's quite sad.

I agree. I have seen it as well. By 35 they are in full panic mode. Men in their 30's hwever experience the opposite. They can pick up women in their 20's easier than men in their 20's.

Ummm. Are you just trying to provoke people to react or are you really so out of touch with contemporary ideas?

Different people (female and male) mature at different times. Some can be womanly or manly at 15. Some might still behave like kids and not step up to adult responsibilities into their 30's. In the U.S. people are considered and treated like adults beginning at age 18.

There is no relevance to terms like "spinster" in the 21st century. That implies a lack of choice and desperation, and proscribed sociological gender roles - which no longer are valid in today's society.

I'd say a girl becomes a woman @ around 19 and doesn't become a 'spinster' ever. Spinster is a term used in the Elizabethan era and is no longer used. Even then it related to women that could no longer have children. So ask your granny when she stopped having periods and you'd have your answer.

The thing is that in our

The thing is that in our society today, there is much less pressure to get married and have children, which makes it difficult to say.

The idea of being a spinster is slowly becoming obsolete.

When a girl menstruates, she is a woman. No matter what age she is.
No age limit nowadays in regard to a so called spinster.

I'm 24, I'd say that I'm already a woman and a spinster..

All that's left is for me to become an aunt and possibly a lesbian. At what age would you say that's gonna happen?

Spinster?? Have you been

Spinster?? Have you been messing with your Grandpa's time machine?

With the minefield and

With the minefield and ongoing barrage set up by Feminazis between men and women, plus the number of men they have already made into casualties, it is likely the age for spinsters will go down and down. There are, of course, a few Mangina turncoats out there, who will be able to be footstools and stepping stones for the Feminazi elite, and perhaps avoid the conflict that way.

They might save a few spinsters.

No a girl becomes a woman

No a girl becomes a woman with her first period when she can child bear.....
because women stop maturing when they start menstruating.

Legally, she is a "woman" at 18.

The expiration date is usually around 25 when women start panic selling their stock to the highest bidder they can find. And they will claw their way to it. It's hilarious to watch.

Then old spinster usually sets in just before the 30th birthday when suddenly she is finding herself wondering "where all the good men are"..... while she spent the last 12 years saying NO to them.

I would say she's a woman at 20 and a spinster at 40.
