Men and boys Mark McIlroy 22.03.2026 Many people have the complete opposite idea of what characteristics separate men from boys. So here is my list. Sex: Boys (pornography and self-pleasure), Young men (sex with adult women, frequently), Old men (sex with adult women, occasionally) Recklessness: Boys (wild and reckless), Men (careful and serious) Safety: Boys (No awareness of safety), Men (acutely aware of safety) Respect: Boys (overconfident and no respect), Men (some have respect) Family: Boys (not strong enough for family), Men (family orientated) Women: Boys (in awe of females), Men (stands equally beside women) Hobbies: Most people would like to be free. In reality, most men have hobbies. Violence: Some people, whether female or male, are violent. This is not necessary and is not a sign of adulthood it is a weakness. This can be due to immaturity, or being forced into a position with no personal space. Marriage: In my opinion marriage is a sign of adulthood. Boys and girls do not have marriage. Money: It is my strong opinion that the amount of money that a person has is not relevant to their level of adultness. Other notes: Sex: also includes Children (no knowlege of sex) and sick, weak people (sexual interest in children). No unnatural parts of the body should touch the genitals of a man (mouth, hand etc) otherwise it turns you into a boy.
