Other than being biologically of course.

But i'm more so speaking about what makes a man... a man?
Cause manhood is the most confusing and convoluted thing to talk about due to everyone has differing opinions on it... and all of them eventually clash with each other due to each one is bound to stepping on moral boundaries, consistencies, lots of trying to one up another, and a lot of liars who barely even know what they're talking about.

I'm interested on what you guys think what makes a man a "man"?

...Cause if I try to explain it. It'll read like i'm trying to become one of those wise old man who has great wisdom... but in reality i'm just a guy who's lost and confused who just stumbles around everything in the hopes of finding purpose or reason to validate their existence to continue living.
As life doesn't get any easier the more you go on pondering and wandering without guidance on why.

If any of you put the Dracula from Castlevania Symphony of the night line on here. Hello old man. Cause it's very unlikely that younger generations are going to know what a PS1 is or even know that a Gameboy advance SP is older than them.

What is a man?

A miserable little pile of secrets.

Something something pile of secrets...
A lot more people know the Castlevania reference than you think.

Mainly its just having an X and a Y chromosome.

Women can be macho, so thats not a defining factor.

Also removing/transing makes you a mutilated man, regardless of the feels.

Honor is what makes a man a man...The honor to love a woman as she is...The honor to do the right thing when it matters...Beyond that, you are just a boy trying to wear a man's pants...

I chuckled to myself.

Most youngsters these days don't know alot about anything from that era, like the ones born 2005/2007-ish and later.

Being honest, being yourself without masks. That takes more balls than anything.

Maybe when you just don't fit in with younger guys.

Teenagers look at me and think I'm an old man.... They're probably right.

Depends who you ask

but a true man or woman tries their very hardest
admits defeat when wrong
stays quiet when right
and
probably most importantly

a true MAN or woMAN will help out others over personal gain.
that's what i think makes a true huMAN
nothing good about being a macho man if you use it to harass people and become what we call in the gaming world
a ♥♥♥♥ move
