Men Have Feelings Too - Males vs. Men

Apparently, over the years, there has been some type of confusion as it relates to two terms that many of US believe are synonymous. Male vs. man are the two words that I am referencing. What is a male? What is a man? Is there a difference? If so, could one of you be so nice as to explain the difference? If there isn't a difference then why do many say some of the following statements?

1. Quite often a male will say to another male, "You're the man!" (Instead of, you're the male?) What does "you're the man" truly mean or imply?

2. Quite often a woman will say to a male, "You're not a real man? A real man does 'this' or a real man does 'that.'" What do her statements imply? Better yet, what could her statements possibly mean?

I know this may seem to be an elementary topic but if you really knew the ramifications of this then you wouldn't be so hasty to dismiss this discussion. Honestly, this will become a very sensitive matter once we begin to truthfully and objectively dissect it. Just to stir the pot in advance, let me say this. Every man is a male, but not every male is a man.

Until next time...
