Feenix, qut worrying about being one and be one!
But I'm sure you're already there.
To paraphrase my paraphrase of Mogan Freeman, just do it.
Or was that Nike?

Man, what a manly article about being a man
I've often found the characteristics some groups of men attribute to "real men" rather immature and sometimes blatantly stupid. I have the required genitals and therefore I'm a man. Any other definition or set of criteria is no more than an attempt at feeling justified in arbitrary preferences. I don't care whether I'm considered to be "real" or not. What is an "unreal" man anyway?

Re: Hi, TAPS!
LOL. When a younger person that me says, "Yes, Ma'am", it makes me feel really ancient. hahahaha

Hi, TAPS!
All I know is that every time I go out in public, nearly everyone I encounter calls me "sir". So, I guess if am not really "Man" yet, at least, I look like one.

feenix, To be able to admit such a thing is a sure sign that you have become a man.

Re: Sorry, Sira. My intention was not to be condescending or to split hairs.
No worries!
We may not be on the same page, but I think we're at least reading the same book

Re: Sira,
Isn't that just semantics--to me, not having a choice implies "need" or necessity.

having read your posts, I'd say you're a man. And that would hold even
if you were a woman. LOL But like I said before, it all depends on your definition of man.

Sira,
A "Real Man" does not fight when he "needs" to. The only time a "Real Man" fights is when he has no other choice but to do so.

I've always thought that a "real man" is someone who's strong enough to fight when he needs to, and wise enough to know that physical strength isn't everything. Oh, and having "dangly bits" is also a requirement...

I know I'm not a man... but I can't say whether you're one or not. :)

blackcat,
a "Man" is a "Man". It is just that simple.
