My mom just called me to tell how manly i have become and i was like wtf?

I have been living on my apartment for few months, saving money for "something big", got out of the army, taking responsibility of my own life, but i think this doesnt really make you a man.

I really think its your own perspective how you see yourself and i see myself as kid still because i still dont know what i want to be, whats important for me and stuff like that.

Right now, its pretty much enjoying music, anime, games, random little things of daily life and doing anything i would like to do.

Seeing people at their 30-40's, having families, paying house debts, voting etc makes me wonder will i ever become like them and why?

Manhood is defined by how large your penis is.

I'd define "Manhood" as a stage of becoming an independent adult.
Most people see Manhood as able to take right decisions in their lives after they've grown up and able to financially support their families independently.

In your case it certainly seems manhood is defined by independence. This seems to be a common definition as well, as children are defined by their dependence.

Unless it's referring to the period during which your voice, among other things, drop, it's a bunch of gender roles bullshit. This is a good way of putting it:

I went to this wedding last summer and saw many relatives I haven't seen in a long time. They said that I've grown more manly for some reason. I don't really feel that way at all, but maybe it is because I simply got fatter.

Reading Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa had some kind of idea of what being a man is really about. I recommend reading it.

Good question. For the better part of the 20th century, most of America would define it with: a full time job, married, and with children. However due to social developments like an emphasis on a college education, this has delayed marriage and subsequently child rearing (which you are also likely to have a smaller family unit compared to say, 100 years ago). Every so often I read an article lamenting the loss of "real men". CNN even ran a story laying the blame on porn and video games. A lot of people claim that we now foster a culture of prolonged boyhood and that its destroying our very society (cue melodramtic pipe organ). In short, its subjective and thus infinitely frustrating to those who desire objective truths to life.

I'll leave you with a quote from the Goo Goo Dolls of their song Slide, "I guess I'll never know, what it means to be a man. It's something I can't change. I'll live around it."
Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER!

I think it depends on what decade you're living in.

The closer we get to gender equality, the less it really matters, because now more women are independent too.

Your dick.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

The kind of feathery nonsense found on some unfortunate females you're talking about has no bearing on anything. If a man doesn't even have that then he's clearly either actually a woman or he has yet to grow up.

like you said "its your own perspective"

for someone it could be getting an apartment, for another it could be losing their v-card, for another it could be paying their parents a resto with their first job pay check.

Its really from your own perspective and what you feel for yourself until the day you finally are able to say (I've become independant, mature and I've accomplished what I wanted to do, so that means... "I'm a man!"

To me it has to do with maturity, being able to make your own decisions without your parents holding your hand, and being someone that others can look up to.

Manhood is when you have three women in bed at once, two in their mid 20's, while you're only 19, in bed. Until that happens you haven't reached manhood. If that doesn't happen before you pass the age of 26, you will never achieve manhood.
