What determines whether or not a man is a man?

[ForensicYOYO]

Its an important question all guys strive for is the day they can stand tall and proudly say they have become a man! But what is it that truly determines whether or not you have become a man? Some responses would be its the first time you have sex. However others might say its the day you become a father and a loving husband. So share with me in your own words what makes a true man. That goes for both male and female Escapists what do you think makes a man?

Edit: Having a penis makes you a male not a man. Please use your brain if at all possible. Thank you.

 

[Snarky Username]

His penis, mostly.

 

[child of lileth]

Genitals. Because that's the first, and usually best way to tell when he is born.

 

[Marmooset]

When he pees on a tree, does he lift his leg?

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Well I was beaten to it but yeah, if he's born with a dick he's a guy. If he is a dick he's also probably a guy.

 

[Lukeje]

How many roads he's walked down. (You're not gonna call Dylan a liar now, are you?).

 

[ZombiGenisis]

Depends, its normally the presence of a Y chromosome with the absence of an immunity to testosterone that after approximately 16 years would result in a man.

Sometimes they have two X chromosomes but the psychology of a man, i vote we just call them men too to avoid confusion.

 

[Nincompoop]

When he is faced with a difficult situation, and manages to stand tall to his principles...
..
Aw hell, who am I kidding? It's the johnson that decides whether or not you're a man.

 

[RooftopAssassin]

Or Arthur Dent for that matter,

It's been said already, his penis. There's no such thing as a "real" man, much like there's no such thing as a "real" gamer.

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

The doctor (no relation) says so.

What determines if a man is a man?

You beat me to it.

But on a serious note, I'm going to have to agree with the majority and say the fact that he has a penis.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I would say his morals, and generally standing up for what he believes in.

A new born baby has a penis but that doesn't mean he has become a man.

That depends on the individual, there is no such thing as anything that determs if a man is a man. Genitals don't even count, due to the fact that some people are born with the body of a guy, but feels like a woman or the other way around.
