"Now, this is not the typically self-flagellating column about men written by a man in a degrading attempt to appeal to female readers – the literary equivalent of the repugnant canine habit of rolling on one's back and urinating."

Don't get any ideas.

That rally in Washington, D.C yesterday spoke volumes about the divide between women and men. Few men showed up to support women on abortion. I mean where are all the LIBERAL men? Good question.

Rather, it is a brief attempt to decrypt the male psyche for the benefit of women who might be interested.

Yeah, all three of them. The rest would rather just be able to continue complaining about men.

If a woman treats a man with civility and respect, maintains a cheerful attitude toward him and encourages him believe in himself, he will not only respond with love and affection, but will consider it an honor to lay down his life for her, both metaphorically and, if the occasion demands it, literally.


*LOL!!!!!! the humor in that statement

Refreshingly simple.

I'm going to be the exception. I'm going to treat this seriously.

Don't ask a man what he's thinking unless you can accept that a man thinks about sex, on average, every 6 to 7 seconds.
It doesn't have to be, "What would she be like in bed?" It can be, "Wow, I wonder what my wife would look like in those pants?".

Men are not necessarily less verbally skilled. They give greater emphasis to nonverbal signals. Men do try to, "articulate their meaning as precisely as they can." so if a man isn't saying anything it usually means he has nothing to say. He's watching for the nonverbal signal as to whether or not this is REALLY important.

It IS a good thing to encourage the boy in the man at times but the times have to be chosen with care because a man will almost ALWAYS, under almost ANY circumstance, go along with this.

Men and women are different. Fact of life.

What do men want?

A cute girl, beer, the remote control. Not necessarily in that order.

For some reason, many women operate under the misconception that treating the men in their lives disrespectfully is cute or somehow scores them social points. But not only does this behavior lower the woman in the eyes of those witnessing it, rest assured that it causes bitter resentment in the man so treated, even if he refuses to speak out in his own defense.

You can't tell the "Sex and the City" generation things like that - they've spent a whole lifetime getting the opposite message from television. They will never believe it.

I've tried it.

Chicks dig it.

men require respect the way women require love and affection

The wisdom of the Bible, on the responsibility of husbands and wives.

"Nevertheless, also, let each one of you individually so love his wife as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband." Ephesians 5:33

Per Chris Rock:

What do men want?: Food, sex, and shut the f--- up!

What do women want?: EVERYTHING!!!
