What made/makes you a man?

[Music Fiend]

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

What was the significant events that turned you into a "man" so to speak. Where you realized you were now a man, and what does being a man mean to you?

For me, I guess it was when I hit rock bottom failed out of college, moved back in with fam, while all my other bros where on top of their work. At the time I ain't even care I was messing up in college. All my so called friends dropped me immediately, my girl left me, I was broke, my mom crib got foreclosed, and no one really bothered to check on me, invite me out. At that point I realized, no one gives a fukc if I sink or swim or I make it but me. Since then it's crazy how much the world has opened up to me in an understanding sense.

You're a man if you do what you say you're gonna do.

When you a paper chaser, you got your block on fire, remaining a G. Until the moment you expire, you know what it is, to make something outta nothing and handle yo biz. You don't be crying when you suffering.

Edit:

But seriously, you become a man when you realize and accept that no one outside of your immediate family and close friends really gives a fukk about you or your feelings..



You become a black man when you realize no one gives a fukk about you or your feelings and hate you for existing

When i became financially independent, realized what it truly means to be a black male in america, and when i realized how to treat women. All kinda happened at once too.

Most important part of being a man is financial independence. If you can't support yourself you're basically a kid.

I can dig that, but are we gonna say aevery man whose finanical situation is good is a "man"?

Nothing can ever make you a man or ever stop you from being one.
Quit letting social stigmas burrow into your brain and define your self worth.

You can call yorself a businessman or a fireman or a postman or a human... but all you ever truely are is an animal just like every other human that has every lived or ever will.

You think a person native to the Borneo jungle never becomes a man because he never puts on a suit and earns wages? Or a person who lives and dies without ever getting any p*ssy isn't a man somehow?
Even a guy that cuts his schlong off, gets t*ts and takes it up the youngyogurthole for 50 years until he dies old and grey is still a man.

Rights of passage and social milestones are just another way society controls people.

You know how foolish it would sound if you heard a dog tell another dog there was a list of stuff he needed to do and then he would be a dog...?

I guess when you meet your country's societal definition...

Or your own person definition..


For me it was when I first had enuf money to break off a side chick , pay 'our' bills, and help my mother out on the same week.
