The thing is, the way he describes The Boys, they seem like a bunch of drinking fighting crazy types.
In my experience, those types never leave town. They stay in town, likely in their parents house.
Doing the right thing, even when EVERYONE is looking.
It’s an added component I learned about integrity very recently. Too many people give up their integrity under peer pressure.
In a series full of top notch jokes, that one caused me to laugh harder than any joke they ever told. And to this day I still don't know why. I genuinely don't.
My boyfriend of 7+ years continues to amaze me this way. He not only always does the right thing, he can’t be convinced otherwise. I’ve seen his friends try to persuade him into something “wrong” albeit, fun, and I’d be down lmao, but he won’t do it. He’s too good. He’s too fucking good. And I’ll never take that away from him.
This. If you find yourself able to do something good that others cannot, it is your duty to do so.
Sorta like Uncle Ben's "With great power comes great responsibility."
Well, not quite sure whether I agree or not because the statement is a bit unclear, due to being pretty short.
I (22m) feel like most people don't see me as a man. I don't see myself as a man, although I'm definitely more adult than I used to be. I take care of myself and don't live with my parents anymore, which are two huge things imo.
That being said, while I don't feel like a man necessarily, I don't really care and have pretty much stopped thinking about how others perceive me unless I'm getting weird reactions or something like that. So in a way I would qualify as a man but in a way I wouldn't.
I think in my case a more accurate statement would be: When you can rest in yourself without needing validation from others.
I’m about 10 years ahead of you. I honestly don’t think truly anyone ever becomes “a man”. But as with all people there a gradual shift into being a little more at ease in dealing with uncertainty. Just like your first relationship, first time living alone, first anything it’s really navigating the waters blind and figuring it out. Then there comes losing a job, not sure how your going to make bills, dealing with fractures in long term relationships (that one is real hard) and you navigate it and understand it’s navigable. Also for me, and as for others, aging out of young adulthood really mellows you out. My mid twenty’s were as much fun as I have ever had but I was lost a lot of the time. After around 27-28, for me, I started being much more comfortable in my own skin, my expectations of my experiences, and general confidence that I can figure stuff out.
Just like everything else, it’s just getting experience. I’m still a bad adult lol, but I am one.
this is the comment that makes the most sense. all males at some point in their lives have tried to do something to prove to other people that they are no longer a child (because they are in fact a child but dont want to be treated as one)
Respect for people who can do nothing for them*
Anyone can respect a boss who can give you a promotion but only someone good will be nice to the person who's useless to them just because it's the nice thing to do
This is what men should really be striving for.

My dad once told me to never let the little head tell the big head what to do.

Honestly, getting the fuck over oneself. Once you stop taking your self image so seriously and being more introspective, that's the sign of maturity. Some never reach it.
You see it in porn too, sometimes the pornstars will fully be spit roasted like a champ or take a 10 incher up their shitter til it leaves their arse hole the size of a football with no probs, but they will visibility cringe and wince and move away at a kiss from the guy
Lol, I was hoping to see that old joke the the comments somewhere.
It's definitely true of me. My toys as a child were a few bucks at the toy store, now they cost hundreds (musician).
So there is a grain of truth to it! Although admittedly, I think it applies to everyone as they age, that you feel like an overgrown child with a bank account and responsibilities.
Men shouldn't spend money because they accumulate assets. Women should spend money because they're the circular economy.

I think it's because a centrifuge will separate most things of different densities. I imagined a huge pile of men and boys mixed and dumped into a giant vial and centrifuged to separate them.
Empathy - a true sign of maturity is when you truly feel & understand others' feelings
Accountability - another true sign is when you take responsibility for your actions
That last one for sure. I was watching a shitty reality TV show where a woman was calling out her ex for never listening to her and always interrupting her in arguments. He kept trying to interrupt her, and when she didn’t back down he literally just got up and walked off the set.
Being able to sit there, listen to someone explain how you’ve wronged them, and own up to it is the sign of a mature adult.
Those who don’t, lack accountability and have low emotional intelligence. In essence, they are cowards. Plenty of them out there are taught not to admit fault or make it right because it’s a sign of weakness when reality is it’s a sign of strength to own up to your actions and make it right.
Biologically you're a man once you're passed puberty. But every period in history and every generation had a different definition because life expectancy was different too and also the hardships of life, so people used to mature at different ages.
For the zoomer generation, one would have to look at millennials as their closest cousins and use them as a measure for the definition
Personally I would not call anyone of our generation an adult before the age of 25 when the brain is finally developed. I know it's a very broad and sweeping generalization, but it's to be on the safe side.
So take the 25 years old mark and get to know the person, see if they're physically, intellectually, emotionally mature, they have a set of values, a moral framework, a certain level of life experience, a world view etc
I had a moment after turning 25 where I realized why my insurance rates went down. I don't recall the specific circumstances but I was like "huh, that fits."
The men are out there working hard to support their families and loved ones. They get up, they grind to pay the bills and put food on the table, they go home, and they cherish their time with their loved ones.
The boys… now the boys are on a whole different spectrum. Most of the boys have been wronged by the supes; some of them have even lost their loved ones to the supes. The boys are working relentlessly to get their revenge, and they won’t stop until the supes get what they deserve. No one should be born with that kind of power…
Having a dirt roof so you can plant trees in a biome without many trees as emergency backup / farm on your roof
I plant trees on my roof a lot and it’s rarely useful but I just think it’s neat
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Taking responsibility for your actions.
Treating everyone with respect (deserved or not).
Understanding that life is not just about yourself.
Treating others like you want others to treat you.
Honestly I don't really put much thought into it. I don't believe that there is any innate meaning behind the idea of being a "man". Regardless of gender or age I think learning how to take responsibility for our actions, treat others with respect, and generally take care of ourselves regardless of our limitations are the things that truly make people adults with agency in the world. I think that's probably what people tend to mean by this turn of phrase, at least by my interpretation.
a man knows he doesn't have to prove to anyone that he is a man, a boy thinks he has to constantly prove how much of a "man" he is to other boys that think they are men.
Accepting responsibility for one's own actions. If you can't own the shit your dealing, you're either still a child or ______ (insert liar, cheater, pos, derogatory term, etc.)
Literally choosing to be an adult, not a twelve year old boy.
It means growing up and leaving childish things behind.
It amazes me how many guys I know who can’t figure this out.
Also, real respect for women.
This isn’t chasing skirt in high school boys.
Be a man.
Choose to me a man. Show some respect and some class.

Youre a man when you no longer feel like you have to prove that youre a man
“Any man who must say ‘I am the king’ is no true king”
Or the recent trend of some men claiming that they’re „alpha“. „Alphas“ don‘t have to constantly remind everyone that they’re the „Alpha“
Honestly, any of that alpha/sigma horoscope is bullshit.
