That will depend vastly on the culture you're living in...
I was about to make a witty comment on the ability to wear pants, bit in retrospective, that's pointless.
And true men could have different qualities among themselves.
To be adult (as in, not fucking childish, as in, responsible for their acts) and reasonable rank pretty high.

I really dislike these kinds of questions because to me sex is based purely on that.
I am a man because my genes say so.
It's not my stubbornness, loyalty, arrogance, decency or anything like that.
I am opposed to gender stereotyping wherever possible.

Confidence, a sense of conviction and morality. Your morals don't have to be perfect, and neither do you, but you should have conviction. (But not close-minded)
IMO anyways.

a ding dong and being and adult makes you a man.
not an adult? then your still just a boy.
I dont believe any of that crap about needing to have sex to become a man or brawling with people for pethetic reasons to prove anything.

Take responsibility, stand by your convictions and admit when your wrong, support your friends and family, dont compromise your morals or ideals, even if you dont like something sometimes it needs to be done.
Thats my personal philosopy on it anyway.
Things like, hold a job, get married, be physically strong, dont be overly emotional, have a nice car and home are all superflous bullshit.
A teen who gets drunk knocks up some lass at a party and runs away is a boy, someome who confronts the issue, tries to support her or repent is a man. Thats why we try to define it it's not about some number it's exhibiting the characteristics that make you a worthwhile person "man" is just he label we use.

A guy is an asshole who flirts around with girls just to get in their pants. He treats women like meat, is inconsiderate, and thinks only of himself. Usually immature too
A man is kind and caring, can make good descisions, and treats a girl kindly unless she deserves to be treated like shit. He puts others before himself usually and is generally mature

Not technically true since parts of the Y chromosome can be recombined and passed onto a X chromosome so an individual could, assuming they get the correct parts from the Y chromosome, could have two XX chromosomes in structure but still develop male gentiles. I'm not an expert but its likely that such a male would have more female characteristics then a "true male" as it were such as having pubic hair in a similar shape to that found on females.Pirate Kitty said:
Is it the same for women may I ask?Lucas_90 said:
Huh...good question, dunno, hadn't thought about it really, I've never tried to model myself into a good, strong Womanmessy said:
. You don't often hear about what makes a 'real woman', and if you do, it's usually from a male perspective. If Aylaine, Eleima or Ambi sees this thread, you should ask them.I don't see why not though. Ideologically, traits I associate with men, are to be a strong, confident but compassionate person, while traits I associate with women are to be kind, understanding and generally lovely.
(If someone even WHISPERS the word 'chauvanistic' at me, I'm going to bite their entire body off. I KNOW there are plenty of strong, ambitious, confident women. I respect women, good, decent women. I won't put up with irrational and extremist feminism though) /rant
Wait when you say man do you mean a male or a human?
I don't like defining a "true man" or a "real man" because its sort of intolerant of males acting in different ways. There are strong men, smart men, confident men, kind men, caring men, daring men, ambitious men, thinking men, doing men, and Batman. Saying that anyone of them aren't a "real man" is just ignorant. Then of course I try not to be sucked up in being a man. I try to be a good human being. Seems more important to me. Yes I don't really fit into a lot people's of definition of a "real man", but it still doesn't change the fact that we should focus on being some "true man" when the world needs more decent human beings around.
Dick-waving contests can be fun sometimes, but that's all they are. Fun contests. Being a man shouldn't get in the way of being a person.
