What a great question.

Speaking personally, approaching middle age, I have been through many phases of 'manhood'. With the benefit of hindsight, most of them warped by own an incorrect perception that at a certain age combined with a certain level of experience, I would simply arrive at a destination clearly marked 'Manhood'.

I no longer subscribe to that point of view.

For me it is fluid, a constant journey with no definite arrival point.

Thank you for the post, you have me thinking now...
