I couldn't help but notice that people define being a man based on brawn and hairy underarms. Personally I think a boy becomes a man when he puts his wants and needs aside for others and carries himself with dignity but then again that's my opinion. So what do you think makes a man?

Erm, puberty??? Maybe a mature attitude. Or age, above 18-21. Theres no fixed definition really.

Usually the development of a person's maturity is a sign of becoming a man. Although some people, even if they are old are immature compared to others. Most accept a person to become a man when they turn eighteen or something. Like Nichodemus said, there is no fixed definition and there are many different beliefs and ideas, of when a boy becomes a man.

Yes, but those rituals are usually very dangerous. They often consider hunting some wild animals with spears or clubs, or jumping from a big height into the sea or river.

I agree. When you find a job and become independent from your parents. Then you are a mature man.

Let's just remember that just because you have moved out from your parent's house and got a job does NOT mean you are completely independent.

I also agree. In some cultures a boy becomes an adult at an age EARLIER than eighteen.

You become a man when you find out that you don't know everything, your not as invincible as you believe yourself to be and by prioritizing your life around the things that need to be done rather than sitting around waiting for someone to tell you what to do.
