Do I really?  
I want someone who will treat me right and stay faithful--that's the type of girlfriend that I am and I expect it back. But, in college, that's almost too much to ask--what is a college student, but a high school student a year or two removed? Maybe I'll find a healthier, more mature relationship in grad school, but on the same token, what is a graduate student but a college student plus a few months (at least that's true in my case)? I say age does not equal maturity, experience does. With age comes experience, but it's not the whole sha-bang.

I just wanted to point out that this thread originated in 2002, lay dormant for a while and has now been recently bumped.
KTHXBYE.

Experience does not bring maturity. Thats a myth. And a dangerous one.

Touche--I thought about that after I posted. But I think it's more plausible than "age brings maturity." That's an even more dangerous one.

Exactly - the "I'm in my 30s/40s/50s/etc. and am now more knowledgable" bugs me. I have seen 22 year olds make very mature decisions with their relationships, and people in their 30s and 40s make horrible relationship decisions. Age just doesn't have so much to do with it.
