Men of Jow Forums, at what point in your life did you realize what being a man really meant?

Two times... first after I got married and took on the responsibility of making sure my wife and I would have what we need/were ok/etc. Basically the responsibility of the head of the household.

Then the other big one for me, when I was training to become a pilot. The first time I soloed(flew the plane without an instructor). I took off and the plane was in the air, I had a moment of realization that nobody could help me now, I was the only one who could safely land this airplane.... or I die. Obviously landed the plane but becoming a pilot was probably my proudest accomplishment in life. Getting my degree, getting a job, etc were all foregone conclusions- never had a doubt about it just took time. Flying was a physical and mental challenge all in one and there's nothing quite like it.

HOW DO YOU SETTLE DOWN AND SAY 'OK I AM GOING TO FUCK THIS ONE PUSSY THE REST OF MY LIFE EVEN AFTER IT SQUEEZES OUT A COUPLE KIDS'. This is all i need to fucking know.

Around when I was 14 years old, to that point I never really throught about how much of a man my father is, then I understood it by looking at what he does and listening to what he says, he never realized his dreams and his life has always been hard work and problems left and right, but he never gave up and always did his best along with my mother to take care of me and my sisters, if there is something I look up to be is being like him.

honestly its not for everyone user. Nobody can tell you how to settle, you just need to do it if you want.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!

Looking back the choices my dad made are so fucking stupid but I see why he made them. My whole life I have been avoiding the mistakes he made but now here I am 36 without a family and running out of time. Once I am with a chick and it gets serious I fuck it up or bail. What a god damn bummer I want to pass on my white genes and just be normal.

When you're ready to settle down and start a family, you will.

The fact that you haven't yet doesn't mean you aren't a man.

I would start off by not worrying about wanting to pass off your white genes. You should remove that destructive thinking from your head.

Recently.

I realized, I can't go on like that.

When I was in a guard tower talking with my bud in Iraq about why this country sucks ass

When you end up with a girl who, after a few months into the relationship, is still enjoyable to be around rather than someone you try to avoid it might be time.

For me most women are childish, dimwitted, useless, and basically annoying beyond something to put my dick into. I met a woman who was better than that and I knew I needed to lock that shit down so I put a ring on it.

9 years now still going well.

>I'm pickle rick!!!

Unironically clean your room, nihilord

Ok thx guys just gets frustrating. I have no problem meeting women but it just feels like time is against me.

What really sucks is that when I was 24 I knocked up this chick I was with. I paid for her abortion and all that shit. Flash forward 12 years and she was legit the best gf I ever had and I still text her with important life event even thought she is married with kids. She just sent me a msg that the cat she got when we first met is sick which just shows how well we connected and how important we still are to each other even though I haven't seen her in a decade.

>should have kept the kid and put a ring on her finger. FFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK

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!

Doing what's necessary to keep the world turning, but you're a dog parent? Get some kids out man.

re-read my post man. You really don't get it.

It was when I finally got a girl that I genuinely cared about who loved me. She depends on me to not be a fuckup, and I can't look into those eyes and not want to be the best I can be.

what does that a rich nancy chickenhawk who went to yale have to do with this cliche-filled tripe? he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire

Put a baby in her user.

He is still a man and did what he wanted in his life. Instead of criticizing him why don't you talk about your accomplishments/hardships?

Or do you have nothing to add to this thread but negativity? It's even sadder that you deleted it the first time and decided to repost this trash.

story time.

Lets hear it user (who I hope isn't larping). I plan to take out a few people when I am nearing death in hopefully 50+ years.

born rich silverspooner who spent his life pontificating, hating poor people and being a blood thirsty chickenhawk

i just don't see why republican cucks have such a hard on for this guy

To keep your world turning, my mistake. Regardless, why don't you have any kids? Dog-mommery is a plague.

yeah seems like you definitely have nothing to add to this thread. We aren't talking politics in this thread. We are talking about YOUR own personal hardships.

reread my post.

Remember when you were a kid and you looked up to your parents and thought they were the smartest people in the world?

They were winging it. They had just as little idea what to do as you do right now.

So don't give it any worries, you're perfectly normal, everyone makes mistakes. Just don't be one of the ones that don't learn from them and repeat them. The older you get, the more you look back and realize that your parents made some real boners. Forgive them, they're only human, and hope your kids forgive you.

Today, OP is not a faggot.

Because he was a fierce debater and a good communicator you autistic faggots
being stoic is part of manhood, OP gets it
your parents are retarded, user
so are mine, they winged it and my family is a mess, I'm only successful because I have nothing to do with them

Buckley was a trust-fund kid. He never had to be a man.

Thx user. I just worry that my parents main mistake (having too many kids so we were poor as fuck) is the one mistake I have avoided too much. I am pushing 40 and my plan since I was 20 was to put a baby in some young hottie when I was 50, but with the degeneracy and how society is shitting on white people I worry I missed my window.
>I'm only successful because I have nothing to do with them
Yeah this is me too I just did the opposite of what they did and I have money and all that shit. Problem is I think they may have been right to sacrifice their comfort for me. Fuck it is a difficult balance.

I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.

then why did OP use a silverspoon chickenhawk to launch the conversation? be born rich, then get into media and be a big business shill who liked to see blood spill. that's the way to be a real man?

idk, there were far better men to use to launch this thread

tl;dr

Enough, every day you man up a lil more that's it for all men

>Has nothing to add to thread so you focus on the silly image that was used.

You should read a book sometime instead of shitposting on Jow Forums /po/

Kys you neckbeard

Chomsky is just another capitalist, albeit a capitalist who sells anticapitalism.

You didn't miss much.

Ok thx user hearing things like this has helped me. Kinda in a bad spot right now to be honest just feel father time after me and i have made (mostly) the correct dicisions my adult life. I see my friends with a divorce, domestic violence, kids, beer belly, debt, low career ceiling, and I am starting to be jealous because at least they have a family.

You're no different from those on the left you despise you know? The post-modernists/marxists.

that's part of being a parent, you'll do it for your kids one day too
you sound like a commie, user

He was in fact a trust-fund baby, and his "work" was that of the idle rich. He was a weak speaker who mistook vocabulary for erudition.

Anyway, I first felt like a man when my wife and I welcomed my father to my house, which we'd bought with money that we'd earned in our good and stable careers.

I remember the moment when I realized what being a man meant. I remember it well. I was 22. My dad was out of work and his truck was broken down. Mechanic said he needed a new transmission. We didn't have the money for it.

I ordered a manual online and decided I was going to rebuild, having no experience doing anything like that. I remember about half way through the process, after having unbolted the tranny, lowering it the ground with a floor jack and then watching all these gears and parts come tumbling out. I stood up, walked around for a bit and said, 'i have to do this, my family needs right now.'

So i spend the next 5 days reading the manual, figuring out where all the parts go, figuring out which parts went bad, ordering the new parts and putting it all back together. quitting was not an option, even though I was in way over my head. and I did it. I fixed it. I knew I was a man, or becoming one. At least I knew, at that point what being a man meant.

He was a highly educated logophile. Not his fault you don't know some of the words he used.

When a man died in my arms, a strong man, Navy man in call of duty *dabs*

Awesome user. Good on you. Seriously. You should take great pride in that.

haha, yeah. even goes for many powerful world rulers, which is pretty galling.

Good for you user I had a similar experience (with less at stake) when I was about 16. Alternator went out on my car and I either fixed it or had no car since my folks of course had no money to fix it.
I was in the freezing cold barn working on it for 4 days and when I finally figured it out and fixed it I knew that i may not be a man but this is what it takes to become one.

Holy fuck, you know how to book a dentist's appointment?!

Not him but I think he meant more like when you were first like 19 and had a tooth ache and you just said 'fuck it that will go away' but as you mature you realize that a problem caught early is a problem solved. When I was in my 20s I would ignore any health shit and it usually went away but now in my 30s if anything feels fucked I am on that like white on rice. Your body is all you have really.

It's all those experiences combined that make us men. Every time we face a challenge and overcome it, we come closer to being a man. I think we truly become men when those challenges mean taking care of people who depend on us. At this point in my life, I know there is nothing I can't achieve because I don't know how to give up. Giving up is not part of who I am anymore.

>Giving up is not part of who I am anymore
I will end it on this. God speed user I will keep fighting. Thx.

Degenerate

When was the last time it was 19 in the USA boomer? Also soyboy (estrogenic).
>Then I thought it was when I got a good job, that paid decently.
A higher class slave is far from free.
>Thought it was when my parents split and my dad left making me the oldest male around.
Degenerate family.
>Then I thought it was when I got my own house and a steady girlfriend and two dogs.
Not married, no kids, gf is probably fucking the dogs, and don't even "own" the house unless you are boomer and I think you are but you still pay taxes on it.
>I thought it was when I figured out how to do my own taxes, and book my own dentist
appointments.
Good goy
>I thought it was when I bought a gun and a bow and learned to shoot.
You'll give it up if Blumpf says so.
>Thought it was when I killed my first deer.
With a gun right? You're hopeless.
>Thought it was when I won my first judo match. Does this make me a man? No! Being a man is more than that. It’s doing the shit that’s hard because it’s hard. It’s shutting up and doing the shit you have to to keep your world still turning. It’s doing what’s right, not what’s easy. It’s sticking up for what you believe in, and more than that, it’s being strong enough to admit when we’re wrong. Being a man means you can swallow your hardships, and keep moving forward. It’s not quitting, and not blaming anyone but yourself for your defeats. It’s also asking for help when you need it.
kys

I can tell you haven't done the one thing that truely makes you a man. Raise a child.

That's why you sounded so cucked.
