The Man becomes a part of your every day life the very minute you leave college, and lets be honest, as opposed to smiling and shaking hands with the dean while accepting your diploma on graduation day, you should have simply been kicked in the balls.
But he did begin to emerge even during those blessed college days, with words like internship, resume and the "real world." "This will look great on my resume!" Don't fool yourself, the resume is a creation of The Man. I mean what is a resume? Your name and a list of your achievements ranging from school to job experience, or is it a list of failures considering your still looking for something new. How much can you tell about a person by one single sheet paper and a cover letter talking about you and your five-year plan.
He is also responsible for the cubicle, a confined space with no windows, a jail cell where the time you serve is between the hours of 9 and 5. Let's not forget the time you have to spend in traffic, or mentally winding down from your day at "work."
Perhaps I am getting a little too ahead of myself, before we attempt to define The Man's many creations, it is important to establish how he functions. You must understand that the man is behind most everything in life with the sole goal of holding you back and bringing you down. In today's fast paced and money driven society it is becoming more and more challenging to defy The Man. You see The Man needs you more than you think, in order for The Man to continue to function he needs you to work, to vacation, to date, to eat, to watch T.V., to drive, etc. (the list continues forever). I know what your saying, these are things everyone does... that is the catch, you do all of these things on The Mans watch. He decides when you do just about everything. You work from 9 - 5, you sit in traffic or metro lines before and after, you vacation 2 out of 52 possible weeks, you eat during your lunch break, you date and go out after work.
The few who have successfully defied the Man do many of the same things as everyone else, but they do it whenever and wherever they want. Who are these people you ask? People who chose an alternative lifestyle free of rush hour, cubicles, conference calls, and performance reviews. People who decided that life is too short to compete in the rat race for essentially a life of climbing up the corporate food chain in order to improve on ones lifestyle through title and material possession. Those who have successfully defied the man live their lives in many different ways, some chase a dream that wouldn't be possible to achieve while working a normal job, others risk everything to build something great, and others simply explore some of the amazing places and things life has to offer that one cant see behind a computer screen.
I hope the above information hasn't discouraged you; it is not intended to do so. We simply realize that for the majority of us The Man will continue to play a major role in each and every one of our lives. This website is intended to provide all of us with a sanctuary free of The Mans day to day efforts to hold us back. A forum designed to post, present, and discuss anything of funny and valuable substance to help us understand the many ways The Man works. So please feel free to contribute to Ftheman.com, after all it is a website dedicated to you, the common working man.

Lynch is that female badass, in the mold of Stone Cold Steve Austin, that the company has craved, but she’s seized her moment by emphasizing character traits that wrestling fans typically equate with male performers. She’s not a sex symbol. She doesn’t smile for the cameras. She doesn’t beg for your affection.
Take it or leave it, she is who she is: The Man.

A guy who has gotten laid. Before a guy ever has sex, he is considered a boy, not a man.
"I was 18 when I became a man."

Man is the creation of man, both in the biblical and the biological sense.
The biblical in regards to our greatness. A greatness which is so great that, in fact, we have to conceptualize a God or superior being which has no legitimate evidence (apart from theoretical and idealogical texts) of its existence.
Man is God, and therefore man creates God, just as man creates man.
In biological terms, man creates man through simple fucking. Whether it be through lust, or lust and love, we create an offspring to kick off what we call the next generation of human - that is, the next generation human which is relevant to our time of existence. And so on and so forth.
In truth, if there is any meaning to life, it's to learn, develop oneself, and to create. Whether it be through love making, solving a mathematical equation using creative original methods which have been spawned from derivatives created by other mathematicians, or simply exercising one's brain and physique and establishing ones own rules and ethics in order to improve thyself, man's potential lies within man itself.
Man is the general conception of the human being. Male and female, or female or male; it doesn't matter.
For thousands of years man has evolved and developed through the creation of solid objects, fundamentals which have lead to concepts, ideals, and breeding.
We have invented languages; given meaning to our own morals, existences and the items which we take under our wings as ownerships; and discovered the unknown by setting forth to conquer to and to achieve.
"Not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
We are the representation of the perfect being. So perfect, that we have to think of perfect as a complete step up far and beyond our own expectations, which we invent ourselves (the irony is that this perfection can be achieved, because we can conceive of it and understand it). We even invent the concept of conscience, or thought.
These simple things are what carve dirt roads on the pathways, only to be paved by cement and thus studied in order to create more resourceful and effective materials to cover with once more. That is evolution; we define evolution in simple day-to-day life. It's the highest form of comprehension.
What lies beyond that? We do not know, nor can we comprehend. We're simply not ready for that...yet.

the total stereotypical boy, or man. Likes to do so-called "manly" type things.
My four year old son hates going shopping with mommy. He's a total man's man- he only wants to do boy activites with his dad.

A word used to describe any person over the age of 18 who is created from the XY chromosome pair. In more a more every-day use of the word, "Man" can be used to address someone, express annoyance and concisely state that someone is masculine.
Person 1: Hey man, what's up?
Person 2: Not much.
Person 1: We've got maths next have you done the homework?
Person 2: Oh man!
Person 1: What do you think of Ollie Smith?
Peron 2: He IS MAN!!!!!!
