What makes a guy a man? |
...................................................... |
What makes a man? What separates the men from the boys?
Maturity.
Maturity is when you have enough experience and moxey to see the big picture of your life and make decisions based on that big picture.

| I want it now. I want it my way. I will look cool and collected smoking a cig. A few cigarettes a day won't hurt. Booze makes my feel great. It cures my shyness and makes me one of the guys. The macho guy tries drugs and stuff. I want to be part of the macho crowd. But I want sex now. |
I want to wait until the time is right for me. I will consider the other person, too. I know cigarettes are addicting and will rob me of my health. I will do the best thing for me and say no. Eventually booze will hurt me or make me do something I would not do sober. The macho guy has the foresight to look past school. I'm thinking of the rest of my life, not just today. I want to wait for the right time and a woman I can marry. |
The really macho guy is mature, unselfish, strong in his convictions, and clean.
