This may be. However, there are lots of men who read. I think if there were good books out there perhaps a smart man who really was interested in self-improvement (is that such a rare breed?) would pick it up. However, I was remiss in suggesting that this would be the only area where such material is needed. Seminars, TV, Movies, Magazines....wherever the public attention goes. This is where men need to be taught how to treat ladies.

Books, Seminars, TV, Movies, Magazines.... all largely irrelevant to the Male Behavioral Psyche.

Men learn FACTS by rationally-digested inputs. This is not how we learn behaviors. As far as Behaviors go... we Learn by Doing.

How do you think the "Bad Boys" survive amongst us? They behave badly, and are rewarded by the attentions of Women seeking either a "thrill" or the chance to "reform" them. And, sure enough, they learn by doing.

If Women reward the "Good Boys" with their attentions and affections -- and shun, spurn, and deny the "Bad Boys" -- then as I said, Darwinian Sexual Selection will take care of the Improvement of the Human Male, over time. Behaviorally, Men Learn by Doing.

best, OP

Then, might as well do away with all classroom teaching for men, as well as ALL reading material, all church sermons, etc.

I have no problem acknowledging that men learn thru practical lessons, but a little written material never hurt.

Why do you think the book industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise? It ain't just the women reading. And I do believe a little behaviorial change occurs along the way.

Example: Porn helps to cause degenerate behavior; I think positive printed material helps to build good behavior.
