Metamorphosis: Boy to Man

[612_Da_Playa]

I would like to aim this more toward the older guys here but I guess guys my age (19-21) can comment as well.

I'll be to the point because who likes reading an ungodly amount of black font on white background? The thesis is in bold below.

I'm 19. A sophomore University student at a local University in Washington, DC. Engineering student to be exact.

My first year I thought I had found the ONE smh. We broke up. My grades suffered freshman year earning me a spot on academic probation. My social dynamics have never been great. However I am good-looking.

My point being: I came to a point in my life where I was unsatisfied with were I was. My grades. My game with girls. My body. **** I was lowkey depressed and relentless at the world. BUT, being away from home(Minnesota) and away from my family I believe benefits me in the long run. I mean my father and grandfather became "men". It's like a secret in society. You want to be a man but don't exactly know how to approach it. I want to lift and body build. I want to gain more friends. Be respectable in my community. At the age of 20 what steps were you guys taking to becoming men and realizing your potential and reality?

I know life is a process and that easily can be forgotten in our microwave society today. However, I am hopeful and know that if I can believe it, I can achieve it.

Physical fitness is key. So is loyalty, self-sufficiency, reaching goals, overcoming fear.

Yup, I've noticed that doing some sort of manly physical activity definitely helps. It puts you in touch with your masculinity. I started going to the gym about a year ago and since then I've gone through a lot of changes. I feel like a men and less like a boy.

In times past, men would go hunting, fight wars, work the fields or do some other kind of physical activity. These kinds of activities are sorely absent from the lives of many men these days. The closest they get to that is watching a football game while chugging beers and munching on potato chips.
