Мужчина и женщина столетиями составляли единственный формат понятия семьи. Он уже мужчина, но не мальчик. Мужик во времена крепостничества принадлежал барину. После отмены крепостничества слово "мужик" начинает использоваться как эквивалент "мужчины" с налётом смысла "простой человек", "человек от сохи". А обращение "мужики" используется с налётом смысла "свои парни", "я такой же как вы простой парень". "Мужичок" из-за использования уменьшительно-ласкательного суффикса превращает "мужика" в менее крупного физически "мужичка". Мужичок с ноготок. Мужичок, метр с кепкой. "Мужлан" - мужчина, не придерживающийся общепринятых норм уважения и такта, грубый, хам, невоспитанный человек, огромная волосатая обезьяна, пышущая тестостероном. Новый начальник, неотёсанный мужлан с солдафонским замашками решил построить из нашего бюро казарму.

Мужлан это невоспитанный мужчина. Мужичок это взрослый мужчина но он ведет себя как мальчик (ну или слабохарактерный ). Мужик это взрослый, сильный мужчина. Мужчина это взрослый человек.

Мужчина - man
Мужик - uses as a rule in colloquial speech for some unknown man (in bit negative, not gentle context)
Вчера какой-то бухой мужик всю ночь орал под окнами - Yesterday some drunk man yelled near the windows all the night
Мужичок - uses as a rule in colloquial speech for some not tall men, or could mean peppy and active man (in positive context). Both cases mean unknown man.
Этот мужичок сделал за день работу, которую до него делали неделю - This man made a job in a day, which others made in a week
Мужлан - very rude, selfish and stupid man
Этот мужлан наступил мне на ногу, да еще и обматерил на весь автобус - This man stepped on my foot and swore at me loudly after on whole the bus

дополню вышесказанное, "мужичок" - так могут ещё назвать маленького мальчика, подразумевая "маленького мужчину"
