At What Age Should A Boy Be Called A Man? by degamonn: 8:42am On Jul 12, 2012
I dont bahave childish, that i know. Besides, I wear a face that looks older than my age because am in my early 30s and already having grey beards .Yet, a lady friend of mine in my office often addresses me as a boy and I keep reminding her that am a man and not a boy.
I was suprised when another lady in my office reffered to me as a boy and i immediately corrected her that am a man and not a boy.
My question is 'when is 1 old enough to be a man'. If u say its only those male who are married, the 2nd lady I talked about never knew me as to if am married or not more so,she is in another dept in a different apartment who does not even know me as such.secondly,am wrong in telling them that an adult male is a man? Is it an abuse of words on their part?

You are man when your start making rational decisions for yourself and others, there is no age attached to it.

To ladies, so long u don't fit into their definition of being a man,they will c u less. A male is a man whenever he begins to fend for himself

Whenever he can accept responsibilities/outcome of whatever decision he makes in life, not every boy would mature into a man cos life is too short and is infact getting shorter by the day.

Age is nothing but numbers...

Once you become independent, and become the architect of your future - then, you're a man...

Being called a man is relative.

Someone who has passed puberty can be called a man.

Also a person who has gotten to the level where he becomes responsible for any of his actions is also a man.

So, it depends.

When a 28yrs old guy had been searching for job since 24. No work yet, and still lives in his parents house. Does that make him a boy still?

You are addressed the way you dress: May be you wear tight pants and off your yansh like boys. (Sagging)

You are addressed the way you Speak: When you talk, your mind is on parade.

Its either of the above, being addressed as a man has more to do with above than age in number.

No man can outgrow been called a boy. Even if you are 70yrs old they people in your age grade and your friends might also been calling you boy, is a guys thing.

In another sense, you become a man they day you starts fending for urself and family.

A boy becomes a man when he starts to cum . Meaning he can become a father at anytime and as for those calling you boy at your office they need your attention and you are not responding while others are. grin
