Default At what age is a boy a man?
Does the typical bloke stay on the plain of a child or is there a certain age?

Obviously depends on the individual and their circumstances/life experience, but for me personally, I'd say over the last year or so I have started to feel more 'adult'. Therefore I'd say between the age of 21-25. However, in saying that, I'm pretty sure when I was like 18/19 I thought the same thing lol, but looking back I know that not to be true!

Physically I think late teens to early 20s, mentally it depends on lifestyle, responsibilities, attitude etc

30's tbh. The idea that it's 18 or 21 is flat-out hilarious . But yeah I've only started to grow up (slightly) in the last few years and I'm 34. The same applies to most people my age that I know, so I have to go with 30.

For some people it's never. I mean look at LT, ****ing manbaby.

so what if you are, say, 15 and have a daughter?

Does that make you a man?

Went to his daughter's 1st birthday party a couple of months back, she's already got him in his place.

He also got to experience my now-10-year-old in full "Billy Eilish mode" which has dispelled some illusions about parenting a girl.

It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth like daughters are property or something?
