As an aside, I suspect generalities about what most men think are really personal perceptions and may not be universally held. I say this because you mentioned your friend originally is from another country, which in my view make generalities even more unreliable in your situation.

I don't think I explained the situation well enough. He didn't flat out not believe me, he said it in a more joking way. He also was not trashing depressed Americans, it was just more his opinion. If I felt he was too judgmental I would not want anything further with him. I just had to explain that because I think it could be interpreted in different ways.
I understand what you are saying about generalities. It is definitely hard to analyze things off of something someone writes on a forum.
