at_what_age_are_you_a_man ~gez~ i dont know is it 16, or 18 or does it depend on what country your in? 021020 ... silentbob it doesn't depend on where you live or what family your grew up in, or what religion you believe in, or what color you are. it really is when you consider yourself a man. my mother considered herself a man at a very young age and finally got the operation she was desiring so much a couple years ago. we don't go to family reunions anymore. 021020 ... stork daddy don't worry gez. we'll tell you when you get there. 021020 ... nuthinbut There is no such thing as manhood, unless you're a spiritless sac o'pus defined by your biology (in which case it corresponds to the first appearance of three red pustules on your inner thigh, often accompanied by the sprouting of netherhair). Any current conception of gender identity beyond testesterone/estrogen or dick/pussy is just a relic of the cultural fabrication that began soon after the early dick-havers enslaved the three-pitted through physical force. That's what I say, and I'm not only a man but a white man, so listen. 021020 ... [.:..The SeeR ..:.] You become a man when you are able to put other's needs before yours. [Because selfishness is childish.] You become a man when you realize that those who are less fortunate than you derserve more, and so you give without any thought of reward. [Because greed and arrogance are childish.] You become an man when you realize that the woman you love is a valuable treasure to be cherished and respected above all else. [Because infidelity and abuse are symptoms of immaturity and weakness.] You become a man when you can go throughout your week without lying, cheating or stealing. [Because dishonesty is childish.] You become a man when you can admit when you're wrong. You become a man when you can lose with grace. You become a man when you develope principles of integrity and honor. [The way to build honor into your character is to make a promise...and then keep it!] You become a man when you realize that Life is not a quest to get laid. You become a man when you refuse to participate in violence, and instead promote peace. You become a man when you realize that most males aged 18-65 are still boys. You become a man when you suffer enough humiliation. You become a man when you're not afraid to love your fellow man. 021021 ... xadle "the woman you love"? what if you love another man? are you not a man then? 021021 ... p2 when you finally realize it's nobody else's fault but your own (of course there are some exceptions to every rule) 021021 ... ~gez~ i knew this would go far, but nobody has yet answered me. it is no longer important i suppose 021021 ... phil me? personally? I think it was after I turned 19. it's a little hazy but I am sure that was the time. So in fact I believe that you turn into a man when you move out of the house.At least in a case such as mine. Maybe some people, aboriginal people, don't ever notice a difference when they move out. There should be something to mark this event. 021021 ... mhmm walkabout 021022 ... someone famous once sed to enter the kingdom of heaven you must become as a child 021022 ... silentbob we all answered your question gez. It isn't any specific age. it has nothing to do with age. because you could be forty years old and still considered an immature little shit. it's when you start looking after yourself and can provide for another person and other people. pretty much. it could be argued that it has to do with selflessness but there are a lot of selfish men and that doesn't cease making them men. it just makes them bad guys. maybe you're a man when you're able to make the best decision, weigh out the consequences and take it in the body. and when its all over, you're still able to keep your head up. if you really want an answer specificly according to age i'll just tell you thirteen and be done with it. 021022 ... ~gez~ thanks thats exactly what i needed 021124 ... screwing for virginity this is odd because this is what we talked about in psych today, and i will say now what i said then... you are a man when people begin to treat you like a man. it may be because you turned a certain age, you moved out, you stayed in the woods by yourself for a week, or simply because you look "manly", but in anycase you are not a man until others percieve you as one. 021125 ... yenaldlosi when you are old enough to know that you won't always know 021125 ... . . 021125 what's it to you? who go blather from
