Your Man, My Boy
-
Ladies older than me always call me boy which i'm very irritated with. Why they like to call guys younger than them boys? I just don't understand.
1, I'm old enough to make baby
2, i'm just few months away to become 21, not a minor.
3, I have more white hairs than them.
4, i got my own income.
Guys, at which stage, do you reckon a boy has upgraded to a man? after puberty? after a specific age? after you have money to support youself?
-
When they are mature enough to make sensible decisions and have a EQ high enough to know when they should do what.
edit: I won't say a boy has upgraded to a man just because he has some tangible achievements like being financially independent or has grown older. -

Yeah precisely.Originally posted by Nelstar:Most people don't even know what to do at 40+
Actually those aren't called boys lah. Those are called retards. But then again, calling them retards would be an insult to those who are really mentally-disabled.

Oh ah haha heh haben answer your first part. Maybe it has something to do with the maternal instinct. Like, we tend to look out for people younger than us, so maybe to us the younger ones are more vulnerable or something so we call them BOY?Originally posted by BestAgt:Ladies older than me always call me boy which i'm very irritated with.

Call Boy good mah. At least you're still young and that name still fits.
You should start worrying only when you're really OLD and people still call you boy.

Boy? Only my mum calls me that!
Althought I'm 20 yr & 7 month old, I look like I'm 16 or 17. (I'm SO YOUNG! )
I told the girls that if they call me boy, I'll call them my mummies...
Though that didn't stop them
.
I dun really mind them calling mi lidat.
But still, if one day I got irritated
, I will tell them to stop.
Then they will stop calling me "boy".

And they will start calling you "boy boy".
No la, i dun look so young la, 18, 19? -
There's not real barrier to cross when "upgrading" from a boy to a man.
In your heart you may be a man, but in the eyes of others you're still a boy.
The same as females....when will they change from a girl to a woman? No real answer.
Look at it this way...better to called a boy then to be called uncle rite?? -
boy is not sooo bad.. wait until you are called an uncle than you will shed tears!
Enjoy your youth and not be so bothered about trying to be a man... you will get to be one and be recognised as one soon enough!
Time my friend is yours to spend... spend it any way you like and as wisely as you can but dont waste it on wanting to be something that you will become naturally.

If you're mature, you are mature. I don't think it's possible to fake it convincingly
