When do you become a man?

[Cox89XJ]

So many people get their feathers ruffed when someone calls them a kid or boy. You know you’ve became a man when someone calls you a boy or kid and it make’s you feel good.

[rock rash]

im a man....at the age of 19 :D


ill always be a kid

[RichP]

I'm still a kid.....wife says I still have adolscent fantasies as evidenced by my asking if she needs anything from fredrics while we're at the mall :D :D :D :viking:

You're a man after you shoot you're first commie. Or democrat.

hmmm I question that one...

[5-90]

Interesting question.

Chronologically? Somewhere after puberty - which, biologically, makes you fully-grown. Granted, most states (and most countries!) think it's somewhere around 18-21, but that's highly subjective.

Mentally? That's another matter entirely. I think, more than anything else, it comes down to when you consciously realise that there are greater things than yourself out there, and that you are willing to fight (and die, if necessary) for a cause greater than yourself. Manhood is not about ego - it's about control of the ego. Some people never seem to learn that - and I have known entirely too many people who are "fifty going on six."

Once you realise that it can and does sometimes become necessary to give your life for something that will go on after you are gone, there is no limit to what you can do. This is something that soldiers tend to learn fairly early in life, and a concept that some people cannot get their minds around, no matter how they try. You can't be taught it, you have to learn it for yourself.

Well I was just being fun, but I agree...

This is why I have decided to go see my dad again after 8 years I think...So if this is techincally the true definition of a man then no one can tell you when you know, and I had realized this about 3 years ago.

[Rocketman]

The day you accept the fact your kids are more important than your JEEP!!

(not quite there yet :))

[5-90]

Sorry - my wife often tells me that I'm too serious, but it comes from having been directly responsible for other people's lives (and deaths.) I can be humourous at times - but it often goes misunderstood anyhow.

How about the day your kids finally move out and you get your hobbies back? That happened here a couple years ago - now, to just get the other one married off and out of what's left of my hair...

I was almost as happy when they got jobs of their own, and I could quit spending money on hockey gear. I went and bought a new rifle that day!

Physically the brain is still making connections up until you are about mid 20's, that the main reason young adult males make such stupid decisions. Womens are almost complete by late teens. Amazing the stuff I get out of the wifes text books.....

My dad, who's 73 still calls me "kid", as he always has; and I'm almost 50. It has never bothered me....even until today. When you get to be my age, being call kid is a compliment :viking:

There is a difference? If you're only going to shoot one, it's name should be hillary; be sure to empty the clip.

[5-90]

Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.

When in doubt, empty the magazine.

Is it dead? Make sure - shoot it again!


1) Bring a gun. Bring two guns. Bring all of your friends that have guns. Having a Marine fire team behind you is a good start.
2) Cheat and win.
3) A .22 on your person is more useful than a .44 Magnum at home.
4) Ten years from now, no-one will remember details of stance, grip, tactics, or equipment. They will only remember who won and who lost.

[Rev Den]

You are a man when some young punk refers to you as "sir", and you want to smack him for it. You remain a man when you think that same kid only ment it as respect.

you be a man and suck it up and go down it...

[XJ Dreamin']

Nothin' wrong with puking. Just make sure you've absorbed all the alcohol first. And rinse with a fresh beer before you try to kiss your date.

waste of beer...if ya aint gonna keep it down, do not drink it...I only puked once...but that was from drinking 30 shots of Vodka in 30 minutes...I am not doing that again.

[XJ Dreamin']

My condolences.
I guess all that's left, then, is to sit back and have a brew. :cheers:

No, no. That's all bassakwards. Real men are not afraid to puke. In fact, it doesn't even slow them down. Your example is a case in point. How better to prove what a great drinker you are. A badge of courage. That's how you start the conversation the next day. "Man! I puked my guts out at that party last night."

I guess times have changed. I hope the end times come soon. On the one hand we got guys not thinking about sex, and on the other they're afraid of a good puke. tsk, tsk.

When I was 13 the Missouri River was flooding. To protect the levies from ground hogs digging through them, it's necessary to patrol the levies 24 hours a day and plug any burrows that are leaking. Like that guy in Denmark with his finger in the dam - except you use sand bags. So, I was 13 and I begged my Mom to let me sit up with the night shift. Was that an education! We're talking about good ol' farm boys here. Between patrols they'd sit around a fire passing Jim Beam and Peppermint Schnapps telling stories about their latest conquests in Den rated detail. Of course they didn't let me have anything to drink but that didn't stop them talking. Even so: when I did try Peppermint Schnapps later, I only tried it once. None for me. Thanks. But, I've put a bunch of those stories to good use over the years http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/teufel/devil-smiley-024.gif

That was one of the most informative nights of my life :laugh3: Half of what they were saying, I had no idea at the time. But, I'll tell you, I kept myself just as small and quiet as I could. I kept my ears open and my mouth shut and etched every word they said into my memory. From how to $#%^# her #*%^#@ to how to get your ol' lady to $#*$^ your $#*%. I heard it all that night. Changed my outlook on girls - I'll tell ya'.
