Those of you raised by single women - How did you learn to be a man?

Luckily I had a father in my life. Also had some old heads in the neighborhood that gave me advice from time to time. A lot of us dont have that though.

If they didn't have a strong father figure at some point in their life they still arent men. Thats a fact.

Probably the streets. Which is why our streets are so fukked up. Its all connected.

I got my game from neighbors, friend's fathers/stepdads, working construction, and music. Growing up broke meant having to learn how to fix anything that broke, whether it was our car or something around the house. Streets made me learn how to carry myself in public to ensure that I received respect and taught me situational awareness. Plus my mom didn't take no shyt lol

If you can't figure out how to be a respectable adult on your own, you shouldn't be here. It's common sense. Wtf does being a man consist of that non men don't do?
