What makes a man...a <i>man</i>?


Today I talked to a 12 year old boy who insisted that he was a Man. I asked him why he thought so, and he couldn't really tell me why. He only told me that age doesn't determine whether you are a man, and neither does maturity, because some grown men are immature. I tried to explain to him that a man is a mature male of the human species, but that there are so many human definitions of maturity that it makes it a complicated issue.
So, in your opinion, what qualifies as a "man"? What all does it mean, what all does it take, to be a "man"?

I like the yellow VW Bug in this story!
Jesus was a real man. i just try to be like him.
A boy becomes a man when he get's his first GTI.
who ARE you?
yeah, upload a small JPG of yourself into your profile, jesse
GTI's seperate the men from the boys or the girls that drive saturns
ANY Volkswagen, except for the Cabrio or Cabriolet is a MAN'S car...

MWAHAHA! this means i'm a man now because i don't drive a saturn anymore
dan... im gonna hit you the next time i see you....
HAHAHA SLammed you!
HA,,, any VW is harldy a "MANS" car. Mabye a cry baby man! but not a real man... VW's are a womans car, there is no way it can be turned into a mans car, unless you put mudders on it,a 3 inch lift, make it four wheeling accessible, put a system in it, x-box, cause its fun, and roll bars,, other then that its a gyrls car!!!!! Its such a gyrls car!!!!!
You're obviously confusing VW with the PT Cruiser...
no no, definalty not, but pt cruiser's do get on the list, the list for,
"Most popular car to be a hurse!
i can see a jetta VW being a guy's car. basically it is. but a passat VW is such a girls car. it curves and stuff. and especially VW vans are so for rowdie girls. so in recap: Vw's are girls cars with the only exception of jettas.
Jetta's are for preppy guys who think there so cool and so good at sports when really they suck at any sport you through at them! Its such a wanna be car .........VW's should say GyrlPower" on the rims, it should come STOCK
Jettas may be preppy guys cars but old GTI's are mans cars! I'm tough I do all the work on it myself! rip my stinking hands to pieces working on that car! An Old skool GTI is the epitome of a mans car because some of us dont have money to pay people to fix em!
HAHHA the car is a shoe box, anybody can fix it, and all you guys out there should be fixing your own cars anyway, thats what guys are supposed to do, fix things, work on cars, work on your gyrlfriends car! Get dirty, thats what guys do!
well, that used to be the case; but now with half the car computerized you need a $2000 diagnostic tool to figure out what's going on. i had a friend with transmission problems on his honda passport. the mechanic had it for two weeks trying all kinds of things. he finally discovered a burned out chip that was causing the chaos. how the heck am I supposed to find stuff like that?
I love you, Julia! We have to say, though, that we are talking about MODERN VW's... the pre-Rabbit air-cooled VW's are ultimate guy cars!
i had an '86 golf. i loved that car. i used to fly over these railroad tracks on this hump in the road in rahway. i'd get four wheels off the ground and that was my big thrill! once, i tried doing a four-wheel drift by pulling on the handbrake and cranking the wheel to the left (after flying over the RR tracks)...i almost flipped the car! that was pretty stupid, i thought...so i tried it again!
Not pre-Rabbit, but evidently still fun..
i'm not sure there was an '85 golf. i think my golf was the 'new rabbit'.
"a mans a man when he can talk a lot" (that was an inside joke- that no one on ezabel will get since the person that its with is not on ezabel) but i get to laugh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
