Honestly what is the difference between a man and a boy??? And I'm not talking physically, or how big their toys are... But more so their characters, and personality... What separates a man from a boy???

1. If he hits you he is a boy. Period. Point blank. End of discussion.
2. If he threatens to hit you he is a boy. Period. Point blank. End of discussion.
3. If you are close to your family and he doesn’t treat your family as though they are his own regardless what they do then he is a boy. And if the actions of a family member are able to move him emotionally to the point that the treats then badly or indifferently he is then a boy. (Disregard this rule in cases which the family member is an ax murderer or an arsonist)
4. If he spends more on his car and rims than he saves or puts into a house or something else that appreciates in value (IRA, 401k etc.) he is a boy.
5. If he refuses to go to the doctor regularly for routine medical checkups he is a boy. (Boys are convinced that they are invincible where as men know that they are not and recognize that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure)
6. If he doesn’t follow the adage “Everything in moderation.” he is a boy.
7. If he is judgmental he is a boy.
8. If he says one thing, does another, then instead of taking responsibility for his actions becomes angry at you for calling him on his irresponsibility he is a boy. (Men say ‘I’m sorry’.)
9. If he refuses to forgive then he is a boy. (Disregard this in extreme cases including calling his momma a ***** or intentionally destroying his stereo or XBOX or PlayStation2 etc)
10. If he cares more about his immediate wants and desires than he does about the future of you as a unit he is a boy. (See Aesop’s The Grasshopper and the Ant)

A man does his duty without having to be asked or nagged into it. Like doing the yardwork or taking out the trash or helping out financially with the family or girlfriend and even the girlfriends kid from a previous relationship. I gues it's a responsibility issue. He is thoughtful and caring about others. I don't mean wimpy. I mean he gives a crap when something isn't right. He's mature.
A boy won't do much of the above. He only thinks of himself. He has to be told to do right.

Boys lack problem solving abilities because of their lack of experience which can be sort of attractive for a while but then gets boring. They can be fun sexually because they run around with perpetual hard on's. After sex there is nothing to talk about, so just give them a lollipop and send them home. I am not talking about boy's under the age of 18. Men on the other hand are experienced, seasoned lovers and much more interesting to be around after sex.

A man is a Man when others consider him so not himself. It is like saying you are a teacher, yet no one calls you that. A man has alot of responsibility in General. The main one being a man is to show others your strength in how you can take the abuse for others not give it because of an internal weakness. Like insecurity or the like. Being a man is not a way to be superior, but rather a way to fit in. We can be great in relationships, or do great things, if we can be one of these.

A man takes responsibility for himself and treats everyone he meets with respect unless they prove they don't deserve it.
A man means what he says and keeps his promises.
A man protects the ones he loves and lets them protect him in return.
A boy might give you his heart, but a man will give you his soul.

erm some would say maturity but boys can be mature when they want and men can be immature when they want, also i think youre wrong to say boys and men arent different physically, because, im 15 years old...and im 6 foot 4, and i know my "toy" is big....bigger than average "man"....I know plenty of men that are like 5 foot 5 and scrawny...I would guess they weigh about 8 stone?
