Serious question here.
Do you consider yourself a Man or Boy?

I'm 21 and still consider myself a teenager.

I'm 20 and I'm a 6'3 child who is still afraid of the world

>I can hold my own in a fight
>I stay to my word

I'm attracted to children, so compared to who I am attracted to I am big, so man.

3 years ago I was working retail.
I was middle management of a small store at 23.
It was a fairly relaxed atmosphere.

In conversation the phrase "Men like Anon" happened to come up.
Two of the girls who worked in the shop, under me, said "Anon? Man? *giggle giggle*".
I said something sarcastic back and generally laughed it off but the incident hasn't left me.

"If I wasn't a man at 23, when would I be?" I remember thinking.

I think it's part of why I got into fitness during 2015.
I've lost 30 pounds through running and would like to start lifting in 2016.

The man/boy issue has a lot more to do with the notion of respect.
I think people called a "boy" after your early 20s is a mark of disrespect in general.

I suppose we'll see how this changes if I ever make it, whatever that means.

lol'd. forreal tho I'm very similar to that dude, just 27. 4chan is str8... well some boards. The only acceptable normfag/anoncreep hybrid lifestyle boards are:

/fa/
/fit/
/pol/
/biz/
/g/
and then mix in whatever your relavent interest boards are like /lit/ or /sci/ or whatever they are for you

>>35476374

/fit/
/sci/
/diy/
/mu/

was /fa/ for a while, but they're more about high fashion vs. functionality + looking good. They shun the preppy/outdoors/athletic look.

thats an interesting definition. so some guy that never fathers children or takes care of them is never a man?

25 year old here. I don't think I'm a man yet.

For a long time I was coddled (single child) and had everything given to me. Basically a boy in a 21 year old's body. Pathetic.

My dad passed away from cancer. I moved to south america (shithole) to live in 2012. Tough living makes for tougher men.

I had various interpersonal jobs. I take care of cows (rancher). Relationships with girls. Cook and clean after myself (thanks gym). Do shit alone. Go to parties.

All I need is a skill (that I will learn), to finish university here, and then I will be the man I'm supposed to be when I move back to the USA as a changed man. I've mapped out what I want to do to have passive income and travel where I want for the rest of my life.

Not the original dude who posted, but I would argue that caring for any other person would count .. example, having aging/dying parents and needing to not only care for yourself, but tending to their needs too on the daily.

I'm mean really, how hard is it to be a functioning individual in this world - ain't hard anons. Any boy can fend for himself. Being able to sacrifice to care for another is pretty strong characterwise doh. I dunno if that's the true mark of a man, but I would argue it's closer to it that soley stating independence and manhood are on par with each other. Iunno .. thoughts?

Yeah 90% of /fa/ is fuccboi. But their are decent inspo and fragrance threads that pop up. And some other random shit, but mostly like you said: you call it "high fashion," I call it fuccboi. But everyone knows once you get /fit/ you have to get /fa/. Their sticky for basics is a must read.

25 yo, and probably boy. I know I've matured in the last years, but I guess what's still missing is being involved in actual work, in the real world. Being a student means living a life without responsibilities nor expertise. You are always the soon-to-be.

I'm German, and in German there are two pronouns to directly address a person: "Du" und "Sie". The first one you use for friends, relatives and children, the second one for grown up people you don't know and in more formal contexts. People I don't know (cashiers for example) usually talk to me using the informal pronoun. I used to ignore that, but I'm fucking 25 now and I slowly start to take that as an insult. My usual response is that I talk back using the same pronoun, just to make sure they understood how fucking weird it is.

People have Always told me they thought I was older than I am. always been wise amongst peers. Always been able to give advice. Dominated gf physically, sexually, always looked at me as her man.
Gf left me, work in the arts, all my peers doing better than me, went home for Xmas to a family of chubs, gorged like I used to as a fat fuck before uni.
Want to go back to LONDON and sort my life out. Never felt like more of a lost child tho.

was just thinking about this the other day.

I'm 24 so I suppose I am a young man now, but in my whole life situation and actions I am pretty much 14.

>no license/car
>shitty job
>haven't gone to uni

I'm definitely smarter than i was at 14 and hell even when I was 21... but I can't help shake the feeling I'm just a huge manchild.

so I consider myself neither, I just consider myself a "guy"
not a boy not a man.

It changes depending on who I'm around. At work, I feel more like a teenager, which is weird considering all my coworkers are around my age. For some reason though, they all see older and more mature than I am. When I'm with my friends, I feel more like an adult.

26, I'd say man. Good job, moved to two cities without help, now living in NYC. I wish I was closer with family, but it did mature me fast. I get a lot of sir's and general respect.

I dont have problems getting gfs or making friends. I'd call myself a little wiser than most of my age and generation.
But i cant consider myself an adult, i believe i got a long way yo go yet, even though maybe i'm just idealizing the concept, since most adults are shit anyway.

you're a boy. pick something, fight for it, spend the rest of your life drinking to forget the pain of losing the only thing you believed in. usually it's the love of a parent, and it manifests itself in a lot of ways. burying a parent is another great way.
>>
>>35480768
Only thing that would make that so is I'm still living at home. I have flaws and weaknesses, if you're a man you acknowledge and accept these.
Set goals to work in these flaws and such and make progress everyday to become alpha.
Also actions speak louder than words so I wouldn't expect everybody to instantly assume or believe I'm a man solely based off of a post of an Algerian abacus trading forum.

interesting so so to be considered a man you have to reach certain milestones or accomplish certain things in life?

isn't a man just a stern person who lives his life the way he wants without any swaying and wholeheartedly takes responsibility for actions? or am i watching too much anime

The dichotomy is based on the physique.

You could be a 26 years old virgin living in your mom's basement living off her salary, you would still be called a man if you looked like this.
>>
>>35481698
Lol? How is it not your fault? Unless your spending all your money for medical reasons, you have no excuse. You are funking 21, anything you do is your decision. An adult takes responosibility even if its not always their fault, a child makes excuses even if it is their fault.
>>
>>35481766
well if your talking about the money, i only ask when its something i need, if its something that can wait i save for it. i buy clothes from thrift shops so that wasnt really a valid example. and i wasnt kidding when i said i only make like $50 a month my job doesnt require many hours.

as for the license, neither of my parents would let me take drivers ed, pay for it, or anything. i finally borrowed a book from my friend and got my permit but couldnt get them to take me for my license test. and my town doesnt even have a dmv. im not about to walk like 80 miles, even if it was actually possible, to get my license. and because i didnt have a license i couldnt get a car which made it so i couldnt get a job far from my house when both my parents blatantly told me they wouldnt drive me. i applied to every job within walking distance, and some out of it. its not like i just sat back and made excuses.
and still i find it hard to complain about my life because other than this one thing my parents are good and my life has been good relatively, i guess.
but i mean you can go ahead and patronize me like everyone else when you dont even know why its not my fault. just because you have parents who like you and want you to succeed and helped you get a leg up on life doesnt mean everyone elses parents did anything besides provide the necessities
>>
I'm consider myself a man. I'm 29. I work hard. I've paid my mortgage for the past 10 years without missing a payment, I can deadlift 200kg, and I can deal with mishaps without needing to blubber on social media. I'm most proud of the relationship I have with my wife. We're an awesome team. Sure things in random elements of life could be better, but that's the point; I'm always trying to progress and improve.

Woah big boy calm down, I didnt get my license till I was 18 for similar reasons, but it sounds like you might be relying on your parents as a scapegoat. If you really wanted something bad enough then you could manage it on your own. Im fucking latino, ive literally shoveled shit for minimum wage at one point. But go ahead continue justifying yourself on a vietnamese fishing forum if it makes you feel better
>>
>>35481876
im white and im not above shovelling shit for less than minimum wage. ive had so many of my friends ask why i tried so hard to get a job. several have flat out told me they wouldnt have bothered if their parents didnt hook them up with a job. i live in a relatively affluent community, and am easily the poorest family of all my friends. my best friend got a fucking car for his 17th birthday. and my parents wouldnt even pay for drivers ed.
and it does make me feel better. and its kind of a sore subject for me because now my parents have the gall to make digs like 'if only someone had their license' and shit.

26, live on my own, have a full time job, been through some rough years, have had gfs, friends. Still feel like a child.

Maybe it's because I look like I'm 15. When I get my bus pass they ask if I'm in middle school or high school. I get asked if I am going trick or treating this year and I get id'd for video games like borderlands 2.

Or maybe it's because I haven't grown up sexually. Attracted to jailbait more than anything, though I would never act on it.

I'm 23, biologically and physically an adult, mentally a kid. I just want to be four years old again, it was the best.

37 and only felt like a man for the last few years thanks to lifting-instilled confidence. I've had a house, kids, mortgage, etc for years but never felt on par with "men" until I got confidence. I was raised as a pussy by my mom.

It happened at once when I was getting bullshitted by a young salesman in T-Mobile and I just stopped him and said "What you just said was bullshit and we both know it". Pre-lifting me would have never done that. It was the first time I did something based on confidence without thinking about it or planning , etc. I just said something confrontational but naturally because it was what I wanted to say. There was no over thinking, no sugar coating, no meaness....just a simple matter of fact statement.

Fuck is wrong with me?

I'm still doing the same shit I was doing 3 years ago basically, but I still consider myself a man now.
Why?

Whenever I was watching a scene with father and son, or when a memory from my childhood came to my mind, I was always the kid. I was going fishing with my father or he took me to the movies.

But some weeks ago I was watching a tv commercial with a kid and his dad, and started daydreaming about a father taking his son fishing. And the I realised that for the first time, I wasn't the kid, I was the dad.

I've thought about it a lot and I come to the conclusion that I'm done. I don't need my father anymore to teach me things, I don't need his approval or feel the urge to make him proud. I love him, but we are suddenly face to face and not me looking up to him.
Seriously, if my gf came up to me and told me she's pregnant, I wouldn't feel overwhelmed anymore, I'd feel ready.

I'm 32 y/o former neet who got his first job at a walmart a year ago. I talk to men older than me and even a few years younger, hell even some 20 y/o men with much more life experience. They talk to me like a mentor, I feel like a boy. The only time I feel like a man is when I'm mentoring.

18 years old, I'm far from a boy but not quite yet a "man". If you're above 16 and consider yourself a boy you fucked up, the transitional period is important for growth. I worked at a fast food joint for a quick minute, a lady called in and said "that man ruined my order", the manager retorted 'ANON? A man?" and proceeded to laugh. It's funny because the majority of 'women' are just old children who don't accept responsibility whenever it's convenient. I may or may not be a man, but I've never broken down crying in the backroom because "muh too much work".

a boy. Still live in a dorm, haven't worked since I started college, just fuck around and have no responsibility.

I think I'm at a weird point in my life where I'm no longer a boy, yet not entirely a man. 20 and a virgin, yet I haven't given much thought to it. Got some financial independence in that I have a job to pay for my own stuff (rent, furniture, range time, etc), yet I'm fortunate enough to have gotten my education payed for by my grandparents and parents. Doing original research under the supervision of my professors with some hefty grants attached, which I guess is some good responsibility (I also love the work I'm doing and hope to have a career in it once I graduate). Don't really have too many friends my own age, but plenty of grad student friends who are less likely to act like dipshits than many other 20 year olds around me. In short I don't think I've experienced enough to consider myself a man, but I am putting my childhood behind me faster than a lot of my peers.
