What are some things that a boy must have accomplished to be considered a man? To be honest, if you're over the age of 17 and still a virgin, you've already failed at manhood. I know it sounds harsh, but it's true.
What are some other rites of initiation that must be completed to earn the right to be called a man?
Make eye contact, firm hand shakes, walk straight with your head up and it all boils down to doing what you HAVE to all the time and doing what you want to do inbetween. Every other lesson must be taught by fucking up and learning from experience.

>What are some other rites of initiation that must be completed to earn the right to be called a man? being your own absolute center of reality

t.literalchild It's okay son. One day I'm sure you'll be a man
I'd say that losing your virginity is the only rite of passage into becoming a man. Saying you have to lift a certain amount is cope because for that you'd have to gymcel and the vast majority of men throughout history didn't lift weights. I wanted to say things like "get a car" or "get a job" but these are also cope in the end.

Did you just list things you've done personally? A Man is about being not doing.
Nathan Sullivan

Lucas Watson
Which is it? Roider or fatass?
Henry Diaz
Lifting for more than a year is what it's called.
Connor Mitchell
No I listed cool manly shit that's still pretty basic. I agree that it's more a state of being, but you get to that state of being more easily having done certain things
Oliver Robinson

If you haven't had a girlfriend by the age of 20 you missed out on teenage love and will never truly be a man with the lessons and memories of innocent love.
You might as well kys.
Michael Ross
agreed
Caleb Evans
You have to LIVE IT
Isaiah Harris
Kissed a girl Shot a gun Got into a fight and walked away victorious Cooked a good meal Built/made something useful without help

How do I become manly enough for my possibly future wife?
>Be 21 >work minimum wage at a shitty pancake place >meet a girl there and take her to gym >We become a couple after a few months >She always dreams of having children, but is also studying to be a surgeon at university while I've dropped college for a third time in a row
I've been blessed to grab the girl of my dreams, but I feel so insecure about the future. My biggest fear is she'll increase in value while I decrease and stagnate. I know the right thing is to work hard and knuckle down, but that only helps so far.
When I mean Manly i mean as in maintain the frame of an independent man who is reliable.
Xavier Fisher
>I've been blessed to grab the girl of my dreams just because she's the first girl you spoke to doesn't make her the girl of your drams you fag lol. you already failed by asking 4chins for relationship advice.
game over.
Adam Roberts
I've had 5 girl friends in the past, all were immature flings. I chose this girl because she is smart, respectable and mature. Ironically best advice I've ever gotten from Jow Forums.
Jordan Morgan
>5 girlfriends by 21 jfc how many times were you dumped you cuck?
I have it all... it’s nice and all but I used to be kinda NEETish and it’s not that much better except for having good mental health and liking who you are.
If you keep telling her you are smart, respectable and mature she is gonna dumb you bro, you just have to seem better than her but not cocky. She has to think you can have even better girls than her because otherwise she becomes unhappy about her choice "as there is surely someone even better out there for me :)"

You’re the type of fag that buys real estate just for the social boost when you can make way better returns through a REIT. All that matters is MONEY, the only investment you need to be considered a man is the one that makes you the most money, not some arbitrary asset class.
Luis Gray
best you could do is become a cute twink/trap and make another man feel manly inside you.
Benjamin Johnson
As opposed to vaginal sex with a man, fucking retard

Samuel Williams
shut the fuck up
John Gomez
send me some pics, wear a cute dress if you can
Camden Long
Being short doesn't mean you can't be manly. Look at Hitler. If you're insecure, overcompensate by excelling at everything you do.
Secondly, men aren't pussies who get offended easily. If someone calls you a twink, trap or just a good ol' fashioned faggot, then laugh it off and get over it. You're above circus midget height so there is hope for you. If you are getting offended by someone on the internet making fun of you, you are all of the aforementioned manifestations of faggotry, so I'll also be expecting a dress pic.
>been in a fist fight >wrote a song >volunteered at a hospital
lmao you sound like a massive faggot i could fuck you up kid
John Phillips
None of that is cool manly shit, most of that stuff can be done by a preteen at scouts.
Aaron Myers
cope.
Ayden Cox
Women are funny, get over yourself.
Colton Allen
So, are you going to realistically answer my question or use a meme?
Parker Mitchell
no, it's a shit excuse and it makes you more of a fucking faggot for thinking it's justifiable.
Noah Edwards
women marry at or above their own level of competence
statistically you don't stand a chance unless you make something of yourself.
You're not everything you could be. You need to get a clear vision for yourself about what your ideal is and how to work toward that. Write it all out and then make a calendar and go for it in baby steps. Become the man that is worthy of that girl. stop making excuses and get to work you stupid faggot

Zachary Parker
Are you a boy scout?
Kevin Russell
Not even him, but if you truly think that REITs and actual property ownership will give the same return, you have no business discussing this. The draw of property ownership is the arbitrage opportunity that occurs when it's difficult to value non standard assets. You can make vastly greater return if you're a smart buyer/ smart manager. REITs are good, but it's silly to say that any alpha in property ownership can and is captured by REITs.

Hudson Perry
Not really accomplished anything. The mean onset of accomplishment is at 21. Be 6ft and 7x5 when you've hit 17 and you're fine. Getting a little bit of work experience doesn't hurt though.
Brody Clark
T-This isn't true right? Are all women my age (20) already jaded? I'm still really innocent in what I think love is.
Christopher Thomas

>"Hitler was not a total vagina" >Hitler's personality: Venusian, was an artfag, in private outstandingly polite and comforting, didn't do any sports
Please... How do I fix this. For the first time in my life, I want the company of a woman. It feels so scary. I see beautiful girls everyday and it sometimes depresses me that I might not have what they find attractive.

>does not mention penis size as a black guy We already know dude
Find me something quality and non American that isn't derivative of something American
Wyatt Lee
They are. Most black men are 1000% more masculine than the average Jow Forums poster. Not sure how that's even up for debate
Justin Smith

What? Elaborate.
Colton Richardson
Be able to accept responsibility and consequence for your mistakes
Be able to lead by example
Be able to fix things
Be able to cook and take care of yourself
Be able to support yourself financially
Be able to make your partners achieve orgasm
Be able to learn when ignorant
Be able to stand up for yourself and those who are weak and need support
Be able to communicate effectively and defuse confrontation
Be able to defend yourself physically when needed
Be able to look at things objectively and change your perspective with evidence
Be able to laugh, love and cry without feeling shame
The timeframe to do these things is irrelevant. Willingness to become a strong person without the crutch of machismo will always be more masculine than posturing as an intimidating figure.
Owen Thomas
Mister tough guy over here.
Caleb Brown
Nah that sounds legit, I can do 90 with one arm and by Jow Forums's standards I don't even lift.
James Hall
In my opinion it's taking responsibility for yourself and your actions. Everything else is either put in other words or a practical manifestation.
