There's no specific age. Especially the upper limit. Maybe there's a lower limit. Many people are still children at 70. Basically many people got it right in my opinion. Being a man is being an adult male (which means taking responsibility for your actions) who has had some experience borne out of mistakes and wrong choices. That's mainly what I consider what being a man is

degamonn: 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?
pooooo! U'r a boi dude. K on a cwious note, a boi becomes a man at 'whatever' age he starts behaving like a man by making 'rational' decision on his own. Look inward and amend ur wayz man

Once you are legally an adult, you are a man. In Nigeria, you are legally an adult at age 21. However, others might argue that you are a man once you are able to make your own decisions in life. Others might say once you get a job and move out of your parents house and get your own apartment or house you are a man. Yet others might say you are only a man when you get married and multiply like a grimlin. The most important thing is, you alone can tell when you have grown into a man. You don't need anyone telling you that you are a man before you think you are one.

Re: At What Age Should A Boy Be Called A Man? by ibhena(m): 12:01am On Jul 13, 2012
Internationally, a man is any male that has attained the age of maturity i.e. 18 years. But we in Africa give it different colouration depending on time and circumstance. People your age or older than you sometimes refer to you as "boy" which is tolerated most times (especially among friends or close colleagues) but when it comes from younger people then it is considered disrespectful. To your parents however, as long as you are alive, no matter how old, YOU ARE A BOY!

You become a man the day u start having sexual feeling towards opposite sex. And a woman, the day u lost your virginity.

during the world wars 1 and 2, most of the young men who gave up their lives for their countries were from 17 to 28. Yet they were refered to as MEN.

So whose fault is it that he beats you?!

Is it that you are a biitch... or Is it that he is a monster..?

As much as I dont sanction the beating of women, I have seen some women that deserve a Federal Government beatdown!

They have been expecting u to chat them up and u are there carring files up and down. So they believe you are a boy because u never act like a man! Hook up one man! Act like a man,that is what they mean.

at times i surround myself with men, i tend to to forget we hv shallow minded, deranged fools that call themselves men too
i cannot understand how someone in their right mind can look @ tryoliviame's comment and respond the way Okija juju and Mr Mandilas have.
It's saddening and it brings me back to the culture and mentality in my country
*sigh* we are in bondage....and i'm damn sure d white man did not put us there!

Sweetheart!!

I am a gentleman to the teeth.. With the exception of maybe a few childhood fights with my sister, I have never laid a hand on a woman.. HOWEVER!!!! Just like we all facially differ one from another, so also do our characters and personalities.. I repeat, some women deserve a federal government Mopol and JTF beatdown.. So also do some (if not most) men.. Lets cut the bullshit of weaker sex and painting all women to be saints..

If you look beyond the tone of my post, you would notice that I neither judged nor condemned her.. I simply asked, WHY & whose fault is it?!

To even expantiate on my further post in response to hers.. Most men no longer physically abuse women.. Its now psychological and thats even worse.. So just because a guy dosent lay his hands on you dont make him a Man.. He might just be tearing you down from the inside and that type of abuse takes longer to heal.. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, this is a two way affair as women also do the exact same thing to men.. Difference is Men are raised not to talk about their sufferings at the hands of a woman (as its most likely to immasculate him) while women take a megaphone and shout at the top of their lungs so that everyone and anyone would hear and take pity on them..

So again, I might be deranged, but I only speak the bitter truth..

The gods are wise

I guess we have to agree to disagree as we hold very divergent views on the subject.. Apparently you are still stuck with the weaker sex line of arguement..

'No woman deserves to be beaten, I dont give a rat arse what she might have done'... #Priceless!! Very very very priceless.. Thanks for sharing!!

According 2 my own classification.....18-35 is early adulthood....36-50 middle adulthood.....50-60....late adulthood....den 60 and above is aged......in dis respect,i believe 4rm 36 upward which is d begining of middle adulthood dats wen u one shold be called a man.....though some factors varies but as at dat age.....one should be able 2 knw d real meaning of life irrespective of ur financial status....and stood by all life challenges....if dat person does not knw d meaning of life 4rm 36 up till 40 den dat person is a fool 4ever.
