When did you feel like you were (or at least looked like) a man?

Physical appearance is just 1 of many factors that makes you a man. Confidence , independence , responsibility , swag. I first noticed way more people acknowledge me, sometimes people call me sir. I’m also early twenties

Depends on your definition of a "man." My definition includes:
1. Independent financially
2. Nice body, lifting consistently
3. Spinning multiple plates
4. Strong alpha male social circle
5. Decent job or working towards one
6. Have a few hobbies I pursue

My moment was when I no longer needed my parents to financially sustain myself, for me personally. The other bullets on the list come slowly after the money.

Responsibility is the first and greatest indicator of manhood (starting with responsibility for yourself). Physical appearance is barely a factor.

My friend started cooking for his younger siblings and taking care of them after school because his mom was a junkie whore when he was just 9 or 10 years old.

Another friend still lives with his parents at 34 and splits his time between videogames, part time jobs, and smoking weed.

Which one do you think is a Man?

24 when I could actually grow full facial hair

I’m 23 look 18-20. Body language and confidence during a first impression is key! After that stick to it. If you lack it, fake it till you make it. I also noticed people my age and younger begin to call me sir because of how confident I appear and talk. Be assertive and don’t be afraid to speak up. I also lift and have a good physique.

Well I could grow a full beard when I was 17 but was a blob of hairy fat rolling around and only now I truly feel as a man. 20 year old , muscular , 11-12 body fat % , awesome beard , groomed hair , dress well and in general very confident. Nowadays I feel like I don't do the chasing anymore and rather women do it( it feels weird sometimes since I chased so many women when I was a no life) and it is very empowering ( guess it makes me feel like a woman on tinder lol).
