19 Signs that You've Become a Real Man

Becoming a real man means more than having a beard and enjoying good sex. If all would become men immediately after puberty, then things would be so easy! I'm talking about that moment when you reach maturity at all levels. Read below and check if the following conditions apply to you:

1. When you admit that you're not aware of everything. It's the first sign of maturity to recognize that you don't have all the answers, being honest with yourself;

2. When women don't tell anymore that you're "sweet", but interesting, or sexy. That's their job, to give verdicts. The worse is that they are right most times.

3. When, in a conflict, you prefer to give an intelligent response than to start fighting.

4. When you learn not to get angry when driving your car. This rule applies when you realize that the price of your crazy behavior on the highway is much too great to risk.

5. When you're more proud to be seen next to an intelligent and fun women, that next to a sexy bomb.

6. When you learn to appreciate a fine drink and a great meal, making use of good manners.

7. When you know that Proust is not a racing pilot and Matisse isn't a brand. We shouldn't be genuine intellectuals, but a minimum of education is mandatory. A poor mind will always be bantered, even if you afford to buy entire islands.

8. When you learn to plan effectively the budget and not to take professional decisions impulsively.

9. When you learn to receive with style a woman's refuse;

10. When you stop telling your friends about your love affairs.

11. When you get embarrassed that your mom still washes your laundry. Wouldn't it be nicer to offer her some flowers than your laundry?

12. When you start visiting something else than night bars when you're in a holiday;

13. When you learn to be funny without being ridiculous.

14. When you learn to stay calm, without getting angry, in controversies related to football, politics, music, or women.

15. When you stop labeling women using as criteria some rumors;

16. When you have safe sex if you're in a stable relationship.

17. When you stop being interested to play different roles, in order to please others;

18. When you say "I love you" less often, as you believe that it really means something;

19. When you're able to care about someone else than you, even if that someone is just a dog.
