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.

I'd rather be more fully human than what society defines as "manly".

That's why we are here. Maleness has been slandered for decades in the popular media. All the blame for the depredations of the plutocracy is shifted to "Patriarchy," and all of the noble, self-sacrificing behaviours have been ignored.

Those should be added to the Bible as the 21 commandments for women.

I've actually had girlfriends tell me "it's fine" when they were mad at me. Why do they even say that?

If that was a rhetorical question I'm sorry for explaining.

IMO people do this because it is not fine but they do not want to escalate things and hope things will resolve themselves as they know you will not agree with what's going on.
