21 but you can still get away with kinda being a kid until around 25

That being said you can still be a bit immature, fun adult / man

Is there a reason why you voted 16 parmnion?

I don't think someone should be legally considered an adult until they are 21.

As in it’s not a matter of opinion what the legal age as it stands is. Legally it ain’t 21 but 18, that’s what I meant.

Whether it should be 18 or 21 is another matter but that’s not what I was saying.

Most men mature when they reach 21, for the most part. Like someone else said, you’re a man when you start acting like one.

I'd say 18 as that's officially when he becomes an adult .

21 is also another big milestone

I'd say 20 or 21 realistically.

For some people it's never. I mean look at LT, ****ing manbaby.
That's on the Internet though, not real life. I have observed for a long time that the posting on the Internet turns some back into children. There's just very little responsibility and accountability.

So in your eyes a 14-year-old’s a fully grown man and should be treated like one? That right?

I honestly haven't met many guys under 25 who aren't just bulkier teenagers with more facial hair.

That said, I've encountered a scary number of 50+ year olds I'd describe the same way.
