Guys Share The Moment They Really Felt Like Grown Men

Source: Whisper

There’s a social sentiment as of late that attempts to describe what being a “real man” is are pretty sophomoric and silly, if not straight-up just used to mock and abuse anyone who dares stray from path of some narrow idea of masculinity.

So, what DOES it mean to be a “real man?” Is that a thing that even makes sense? Does it even have a definition? My take is: probably not. But there is a sort of feeling you can get, where you have the sensation of fulfillment, or that you’ve truly come into your own identity in a complete and satisfying way. That feeling knows no bounds of gender, but if you happen to be a dude, “feeling like a real man” seems as good a way as any to express it.

Here’s what brought on that feeling for a few guys.
