a dude you meet during your formative or developmental years who always has your back through thick and thin. you keep in touch and make an effort to hang out. play sports with one another, buy a beer for. often the person you go to to when your girl wont cut it or dies. secrets exist because there is much love and trust and some things don't transfer between gender.
"seriously mike, are you gay for jon?"
"no, he's my man man, i'd do anything for him"
"that's gross"
"you're jealous, stop hating, and go find one for yourself"
"i got a girl"
"a girl is different than your best friend, they can become your wife"
"no, he's my man man, i'd do anything for him"

mature, knows how to treat a woman, is responsible enough to handle his own emotions and or life situations and takes resposibility for himself and what he does
also has a penis

1) a gender of the human race, not necessarily better or worse than females.
2) generally a person who will do incredibly stupid things for a piece of ass.
3) the perfect specimen: one who can comprehend that women are not "meant to stay in the kitchen and/or bed", nor are they "life-support systems for vaginas", but are a complimentary addition to their existence.

Man: How does a boy become a man usually by dissassociation..cutting off from the family,expected to challenge authourity,be aggressive,and manipulative at an early age..this is tolerated and encouraged by elders in most societies.
A boy then watches porn with his friends talks about 'hating' girls etc...Couple this with dissassociation from family the first cut off point is the mother,to become a man one must dissassociate from his emotions,become distanced from them and rely being a dick instead.
Not much has changed most boys are encouraged to behave in such a manner and it is even applauded!
Throughout the ages,man's identity has been synonymous with 'woman',usually the dominance and abuse of woman is part of forming his identity(in some way shape or form regardless of who the man is ,he may rely on being an immature boy or being a complete manipulative dick either way)his difference from 'woman' is his only claim to be a man..

A misunderstood creature in this heedless world. He seeks to find happiness, so he chases wealth, power, fame and love of women endlessly in despair and emptiness. The society around him targets him as a primary audience, because he is suppose to be the "bread bringer," so he is constantly expose to the lies of pornography, lottery, get rich schemes, scams.... and even after so many ventures, tends to hide his discomfort and pain, because society told him that "a real man doesn't cry." He wants to be a great son, a loving husband, provider, sustain-er, protector and a compassionate father, but is often misunderstood by the opposite gender as one and the same and acquires labels such as pimp, playa, perv.....His life is forever empty.... He live only through the eyes of others, so he ventures his entire life just so he can be called a man.
