What Is The Mark Of A Real Man?

By Brad Wilson


Some years back, it was pretty easier to define maturity. Many people found that they can easily purchase maturity. It meant you owned your own home and your own car. Once these items were purchased, you had arrived.

It is rather different today, as the mark of a real man isn't that cut and dry. You may have noticed that the purchases with which men are measured are rather too simple for our current culture. On the other hand, these purchases can be made by almost every men which had made them insignificant in showing how mature a man is.

So what are the factors that measure maturity?

Drawing The Lines For Maturity In Today's Economy

The Volunteering- It is true that we can no longer measure the prosperity of our society with the economic benefits of purchasing a house or a car, but there is still a concept with which we can get an insight on this: volunteering. It doesn't matter that you are volunteering your time, money or any other skill, it shows that you still care about the people around you.

Building A Family- Some time ago, people were encouraged to get married and procreate as infant mortality rates was high and people seek ways of improving growth. In today's world, what defines a real man is to be part and provide for your family.

Education- Many people took education as a concept in the older days. Many people strove for this but only few really needed it. These day, education rather shows that you want to work hard and be an adult. It is true that formal education does not apply to all fields but to fields that it does, it could depict your abundance or lack of knowledge.

Style- Some 100 years ago, a pair of dirt-covered overalls and calloused hands were seen as the definition of a real man. Yes, while this is now obsolete, a man's appearance is still one of the important indications of his maturity. In today's world, suits for men are now the real signs of a mature man. With mens suits, people will know that you are actually growing up despite the age. Confused? Consider for a moment what you think about when you meet a man in a stylish pin-stripe suit from Brook Taverner . The first thoughts in your mind are probably that he is successful, educated, and yes, mature.

Acceptance- Many people have been accustomed to making excuses for almost everything. We always have an alibi, and we tend to blurt out the first thing that comes in our head. Accepting our failures, mistakes, and owning up to them is almost a forgotten concept, but a real factor when it comes to maturity. For the record, a man that can admit his mistakes and apologise is worth his weight in gold.

Owning a house and starting a family are not the only factors that decides a man's maturity. In today's world, maturity is gauged on a whole new level. So, what forms the defining factors for you?
