Do you believe in the phrase a woman can turn a boy into a man?
After seeing my friend and her man yesterday, I would have to say I believe the saying holds some truth. When she first met her guy he wasn't bad looking but you could kind of tell he was just going through life without a purpose sort a speak. Some of us were actually a bit surprised she gave the guy a chance.
Well they've been together like 4 months or so and that guy has done a complete 360. His appearance was always ok but now he has a aura to him that wasn't present before. He's now become that person that commands attention when he walks into a room. I really can't describe it but it just seem like he's become a better man since being with my friend.
If a guy truly changes by himself because love for her and from her gave him a purpose and passion in life, that's cool, but her "shaping him up" I think is bullsh*t.
Since his father did not do the job, I guess the woman has too.

I'm confused. Could what you've described be viewed as "shaping him up"? If not what makes it different?
Having a good confident woman does seem to give younger men a certain new confidence in themselves. If he's lacked in the security department she may say just the right words to help him realize his self worth.
When I was barely out of high school I had a GF who was outgoing and everyone loved her. Just being with her made me feel really good. Confidence is catching, when you feel good about yourself usually it shows to everyone else.
Also, maybe she's taught him a little about how to treat a woman. That and some good loving always puts a big smile on a guys face.
I think I helped my husband become a man. It's so cheesy, but you know that line from As Good As It Gets where he says, "you make me want to be a better man" Well I think I made my husband want to be a better man. Before he had no job, was lazy, terrible grades, no motivation. When he saw that we could have a future together, he got a job and changed his life. He did it for himself, but the idea of a future together was his inspiration. He says that if I hadn't come into his life he'd still be depressed, unemployed, living with his parents, etc. Hope that makes sense...
