There are some positive sides to getting older: wisdom, a better job title and the salt-and-pepper hair that commercials tell us women love. But not every change is a sign of maturity. Sometimes, changes just mean you're decaying on your way to the grave. Here's how to tell if you're progressing in age without progressing in life experience.

1. No New Music Since College

Have you ever turned on the TV or radio to hear people talking about some new pop or hip-hop star, and thought to yourself, "Who the hell is this person? Why are they famous?" Then you scan through your iPod and realize that the most recent album you have is "FutureSex/LoveSounds," which Justin Timberlake released in 2006.

2. P.E. Class Would Destroy You

You keep telling yourself to hit the gym, but who has the time? The sad truth is that a game of touch football would make you feel like you got hit by a truck the next day. (Don't worry, you'll be on Medicare soon enough.)

Revenge Girl GIF

It's always a little weird to have a private conversation with your boy's girlfriend, especially if she starts talking smack about him...or worse, hitting on you. And what could be more private than text messages on a password-protected phone?

To successfully keep things calm, take a lesson from Gracie jiujitsu: The more she attacks, the more you retreat. Here's how to navigate a few different text conversations that could easily get you in trouble.

In Defense Of Immaturity: A Juvenile Manifesto

Maturity is almost universally referenced as being better than immaturity. "You're so immature" is often said with the same tone as "you're so stupid." But the more mature a person is, the less fun they tend to have. Shouldn't you enjoy life, even if you're (technically) an adult?

There's a difference between immaturity and just being a stunted adult, like a guy who lives with his parents until he's 39. If you sleep in the same twin bed in your 30s that you did as a child, you don't merely need to grow up; you need a therapist.

But there's nothing wrong with enjoying the same things you did as a kid, like reading comic books and playing classic Nintendo games. Why deny yourself something you once found fun, just because time's passed?

You might look sophisticated drinking wine, but just imagine if you owned and operated a winery. Celebrities often dream of a label bearing their name, but it's hard work and a famous name alone doesn't spell success. Many have succeeded, however, and they include big time athletes with a taste for vino. Whet your appetite with our list of athlete vintners.

Whether you like it or not, you'll become less juvenile over time. Stuff that used to seem funny will just seem mean. You'll treat others with more respect. There are, however, little things that will always make us laugh to ourselves.

As men, we can't help hearing certain words or phrases that remind us how immature we really are. We still can't sit through a Science Channel program that mentions a "black hole" without cracking up. Here's 50 more words that will forever prevent us from being fully grown up.

Sneak Peek Video: The Cast Confesses Their First Kisses

Posted 3/5/13 11:00 am EST by Ryan McKee in MTV2, The Show, Video

damien-first-kiss

Do you remember your first kiss? And we're not just talking about kissing a person of the opposite sex. Did you practice french-kissing on a pillow, or on a stuffed animal or on a friend at a slumber party (like Melanie did, HELLO)?

Let's be honest, first kisses aren't always brag-worthy. For some of us, it happens later in life than we'd like. For others, it happens with a very masculine woman or with a teddy bear. We're not going to judge anyone, because as you'll see from the cast's confessions in the below video, most of us have an embarrassing story.

A Wine Expert On Fast Food Pairings, Boxed Wine & More [Interview]

Posted 3/4/13 4:00 pm EST by Guy Code Staff in Food, Interview, The Show

Anybody can go to a wine store and pick a random bottle, but it takes some deep knowledge to pick the right bottle. Lucky for you (and for us), we sat down with Café D'Alsace sommelier Gianni Cavicchi, who taught us everything we need to know the next time we order a glass of vino...or a box of it.

So, what qualifies you as a wine expert?

First and foremost, I drink a lot. Can't be an expert without trying all the wine!

I've been enrolled in the Wine and Spirit Educational Trust for the past four years. ... Café D’Alsace is a four-time 'Award of Excellence' winner from the Wine Spectator. My father was a sommelier across Europe, and I always grew up around wine and making wine, so it was in my blood.

Wine gives brutal hangovers. In terms of taste and the morning after, what do you think of organic and/or sulfite-free wine?

Organic and bio-dynamic wines are simply awesome. Eliminating cheats like chemical pesticides make the vintner pay closer attention to his or her vines. Sulfites do not cause headaches or hangovers; I truly don't know where that myth came from. The thing to watch out for is histamines, and obviously the alcohol.

Men and woman have been kissing forever, right? Actually it's a relatively new behavior for humans. Social scientists have no idea why we make out, except that it feels awesome and stops her from asking you "what are you thinking?" Here's some other surprising trivia about smooching...

1. The Wedding Kiss Originated In Ancient Rome

Kisses were used to finalize contracts. The practice continues today every time you kiss your boss's ass.

2. The Term "French kiss" Started As A Slur

In the 1920s, the British poked fun at the decadent French custom of swirling tongues.

3. Public Kissing Is A Crime In Indonesia

Punishable by five years in prison. Not the worst way to stop PDA.
