False.

Nothing about the above list that is supposedly a declaration of what makes a man, makes any logical sense.

A boy does not become a man when he needs to perform basic tasks and mannerisms such as passing the remote control, which he should have learned in pre-school along with the notion of sharing.

A boy does not become a man when he feels an obligation to follow a woman who is unwilling to compromise and walks out of a situation rather than deciding to walkthrough it collectively with him.

A boy does not become a man after rewarding a person who inflicts pain upon him, whether it be emotional or physical and regardless of degree.

In a relationship, a boy becomes a man when he learns to be patient with the small things he cannot change about his woman. A boy becomes a man when he learns the beauty of honesty. A boy becomes a man when he is humble rather than egocentric. A boy becomes a man when he understands the meaning of compromise and of the word us.
