“Boys are students: Men are teachers
Boys are consumers: Men are producers
Boys play with toys: Men work with tools
Boys break things: Men make things
Boys ask questions: Men give answers
Boys are disruptive: Men bring order
Boys run in gangs: Men organize teams
Boys play house: Men build homes
Boys shack up: Men get married
Boys make babies: Men raise children
A boy won’t raise his own children: A man will raise his and somebody else’s
Boys invent excuses for failure: Men produce strategies for success
Boys look for somebody to take care of them: Men look for somebody to take care of
Boys are present-centered; Men are time-balanced, having knowledge of the past and understanding of the present and a vision for the future
Boys seek popularity: Men demand respect
Boys are up on the latest: Men are down with the GREATEST.”
PS- boys are a waste of time, and men are hard to find.
This is fantastic opinion. Well, i feel its fact. This is just a great explanation and description of the differences of man and boy
Oh yess truly superb explanation Jessara.. I loved it!
boy walk for nothing while man work for something better
boy never think otherwise while man always think the negative
boy look for girlfriend to go after but man look for better wife
boy get money for himself alone but man always try to get money for others
boy go to man for advice while man look for better words to tell them
man start for the family but boy represent the family
This article is on point! Job well done!
the biggest difference between a man and a boy is that boys are learning lessons each day.
I think…the biggest difference between a man and boy is that a man understand that its ok to ask questions, to know that he doesnt know and to be ok with changing. A boy thinks hes got it all figured out.
This is great. I shared it with a group of young men in my class room.
Thanks
this is great i really like it. so for those who want to settle in marriage look for men not boys.
Superb post, the different of boy and men it is really nice.
Who wrote the poem/quote “The difference between boys and men”? sited by Jessara 2008…i have done some searches and others have posted it in 2007..without an author’s name..I love it…please help me out in uncovering the poet.
I agree apart from boys ask questions men give answers, boys ask stupid questions, and men ask the right questions in order to grow.
Boys want to change the way you look, Men want to change a woman’s last name!
Boys will text you, Men will call you just to hear your voice.
Thanks alot.Just to add that the major difference between a boy and a man is that boys say or act before thinking whereas men think before saying or acting.
By that thought the Blackberry boys are fools
The difference between a boy and a man is boys do things because they want to do them, men do things because they need to be done.
