A man is...

-not a little boy in a post-puberty body
-able to cook at least one meal for god's sake, just a basic grilled cheese will do fine
-someone who uses their male privilege to be an ally to women, rather than to be a rapist

Now that we're men, we can do anything
Now that we're men, we are invincible
Now that we're men, we'll go to shell city
Get the crown, save the town and Mr. Krabs
Now that we're men, we have facial hair
Now that we're men, I change my underwear
Now that we're men, we got a manly flair
We got the stuff, we're tough enough to save the day
We never had a chance when we were kids, no no no
But take a look at what we've already did, ha ha ha

Now that they're men, we can't bother them
Now that they're men, they have become our friends
Now that they're men, there'll be a happy end
They'll pass the test, and finish the quest for the crown
They'll pass the test
And finish the quest
They'll pass the test, and finish the quest for the crown

These battered hand are all you own
This broken heart has turned to stone
Go hang your glory on the wall
There comes a time when castles fall
And all that's left is shifting in the sand

You're out of time, you're out of place
Look at your face
That's the measure of a man

This coat that fits you like a glove
These dirty streets you learned to love
So welcome back my long lost friend
You've been to hell and back again
God alone knows how you crossed that span

Back on the beat, back to the start
Trust in your heart
That's the measure of a man

It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
It's the things you understand
Permanent ties from which you once ran
That's the measure of a man

You've come full circle, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can

Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man

Why Rocky V will never, EVER be a bad movie.

Though Rocky III was the manliest. I mean, beating up both Hulk Hogan AND Mr. T?

Being a man is:

Thinking about tities.
Believing in yourself.
Not giving a shit.
Being confident and strong.
Passing the genes.

I like the part about passing one's genes.. reminds me of a pickup line a buddy of mine in college would use: "I wanna have your children - all over my chest."

What if I don't give a shit about my lack of confidence or strength?
 
I often wondered this. Its obviously more than just muscles and having balls.

I think there must be some sort of point where you become one. Not a age point but rather a transition point. I cant really explain but its like a set of things that you should accomplish before you can really consider yourself one.
