At What Age Does A Boy Become A Man? by mcevans1(m): 3:37pm On Jan 30, 2013 |
Do you become a man when you reach 18? 22? Is there an age for becoming a man? Do you become a man when you learn a certain skill or knowledge? Do you become a man once you've gone through a certain rite of passage? Is it the money you own, or the power you have that makes you a man? What creates the gap between man and child? What do you guys think? I need your point of views. Thank You. |

There's more than one definition of what it means to be a man because there's really no right or wrong answer. What it means to be a "real man" or a "real woman" is socially constructed so you have to decide for yourself what being a man means to you. I may say being a man is having a career, owning a home, a car, and having a wife. What if you don't fall into any of these categories? Does it mean you're not a man? 1 Like |

U bcom a man when u stop every boyish/ childish behaviour. St paul says: when i was a child i spoke, actd like a child bt when i bcame a man, i put away all childish thing. When d boy stops been a boy he becomes a man. There is no specific age, u can see 40year old babies in an adult body 7 Likes |

At any age he can live by himself away from the control of his parents. Meanwhile a teenager can not be regarded as a man even when he attains this quality. |

To be a "real man" has less to do with "age". Forget the standard age for measuring adulthood which is 18years. To be a real man has to do with the ability and gut to handle challenges and the tough times one will encounter in the course of life, and still remain unscathed or unwavering. It entails being able to take responsibility for yourself. It only takes "men", i mean real men to scale through the hurdles of frustration, disappointment, sorrow induced as a result of losing a dear one, hardship caused by a bad economy in Nigeria. Maturity is a function of the mind. One can be 25, 30, 35 years and still wallowing in infancy. To be a man my brother is not a tea party. |

Being a man is determined by his actions and reasoning. . . Age has very little to do with it. The apologetic conditions of the grandpas in the romance section is proof. |
