Yeah. with 40+ pages to read, I'm just going to take this threads purpose at face value. To h*** with anyone's issues with my lazy defiance!

So, I lift weights ...

Ok, I'm not that manly.

Why is it men think it's ok to cry over sports? And basically nothing else? But what's with the apparently universal acceptance of sobbing over sports??? I just can't get that excited about games ...

Personally, I believe a man becomes a man when he stops focusing on himself and forgoes his own needs for others. Usually this happens when he becomes a father. Because when you have to put yourself aside and make sacrifice. Sacrifice is very manly. Not that women don't sacrifice. But a man's sacrifice is often to deny himself. I'm ready to be a Daddy now. I just need a wife of child bearing age and more steady income. That will mean I am no longer a boy, but a man.

Personally, I think someone becomes a man when they hit about 18. How they choose to portray themselves is down to them, though. Some men are just sh****er than others.

18 is a child. I remember thinking at 18 that I couldn't possibly be ready for manhood. Man made laws state that we are an adult at 21. But I believe around the age of 26 is when we reach full maturity.

I have found room for some more progress after 30. . .

Depends on where you're from. In the UK, you're legally an adult at 18. At 18, you know what the laws are, you know what's expected of you, etc. That's when you're a man. That's when you're an adult.

The law has to draw a line somewhere, but clearly, some people are acting like responsible adults at ten, and others like spoiled brats at seventy.

I think you're truly a man when you stop worrying about whether you're a man yet or not because you have more important things to worry about.

"If you can walk with the crowd and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run- Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a man my son."
- Rudyard Kipling
I have not seen this around much lately, but it was pretty standard when I was young.
