I'm not sure I would use the term "intellectual age" here, as that's supposed to be a proxy for IQ, and the things you're describing are more socially or behaviorally aligned with a particular life stage. What's a better term? Emotional age?
Regardless of which term is used, the answer in my case would be an unequivocal "No."
You and I are fairly close in age. I'm a fully-functioning and mature adult in all the ways that matter, but I'm more drawn to younger people, and give myself over to childish pranks, playful behavior, etc. Adult lives can become so prescribed and restrained, and they forget how to have fun -something that young children in particular understand on a primal level. As an adult, that playfulness can be expressed in even more delightful ways than any child could properly access or understand.
Growing up is a mistake, and one I hope I never commit.
