Hi Linda,

Well, I am a man, but rather untypical I'm afraid, so my reply may be a bit biased.

This is how I saw the men I grew up with -

Men don't show their emotions.
Men show their anger.
Men have a hard shell.
Men brag about their success and hide their failures.
Men expect everyone to be interested in their interests.
Men laugh at other's failures.
Men know how to fight.
Men always know what's 'right'.
Men don't listen.
Men like to boost their own egos.
Men talk about facts.
Men rely on women.

Well, that's a bit depressing! Of course it's not always like that, but at one time I did believe it was.

Good thoughts, M
