(how to be a good man article) be a real man so the boy must die

The Boy Must Die!

Odd way to start off? Good! What I’m saying is that you must kill your inner boy before you can become a real man. Now, before anything weird occurs. I don’t mean actually kill yourself or anything violent, so please don’t attempt anything. Now, let's continue with how to be a real man.

Majority of “men” out there are what I call grown up boys. You may have a bigger body but are still stuck in the boy frame. How to be a good man would be simply destroying the boy habits and replacing them with man habits.  Manipulation is a big boy habit. The boy must die!

So I’d like to introduce you to how to be a good man!

How to Define Being a Man

  1. What does being a man mean to you?
  2. How do you become a man?
  3. What are the qualities a man has?
  4. What are the qualities a man lacks?
  5. What happens if you grow up without gaining the properties of a man?

Can you answer these questions? If you can and you are confident you are able to answer correctly then this article probably isn’t for you, since you more than likely already know it!

The Reason Why there are Grown up Boys Running Around


It would be of a few reasons, firstly it could be that you didn’t have a father or a father figure in your life to raise you correctly and teach you how to become a man. Or, it may have been that you did have a father but he done such a bad job that he emasculated you by over bearing.

Other reasons are you were spoiled by your mothers, you know who you are! Or, worse you was raised by your mother and she simply didn’t have the tools or knowledge to teach you how to be a man.

Man Psychology and Boy Psychology


A man is responsible, structured and generally carries the load. A boy on the other hand is irresponsible, unorganised and likes to run away from problems. A boy also manipulates, so ask yourself “is this manipulative?” before you do something, can assure you’re being the man in the situation.

Qualities of Male Maturity


There is as you can expect a fair few qualities that make a man mature. They are firstly a balanced perspective which means understanding there’s always another side. An attitude of non-judgement, losing the need to judge things as they happen, an understanding that everyone has a positive intention, a powerful sense of self, an air of stability, the deep root, the strong foundation and of course trustworthiness. To be a real man, these qualaties you need.
