- They tend to be fairly 'straight-up'. If they have a problem / concern then they will tell you to your face. You can hash it out. Then they MOVE ON. (This is compared to females who, in my experience, tend to talk about things behind your back while being all lovely to your face. They also are - in my experience - more likely to hold onto resentments / hurts and take much longer to move on).
- They are more into doing doing doing. Which is nice for me to get out of my head. Girls tend to gossip gossip gossip on the other hand ;-)
- They are less concerned with such things as how much you weigh and precisely what you are wearing than girls are. Guys often don't see what all that fuss is about... Girls (in my experience) tend to be more into making comparisons and feeling inferrior etc etc.

I feel that non-harmful differences should be embraced with acceptance. It can be a good thing to have variety-- opens ones world to a bigger view. I also agree with the idea that a human's future should not be determined by ones body.

Each human--brain, emotions and body-- is unique and should be accepted and valued just as each snowflake, diamond or leaf is. We can each be a gift to this planet.

I have had various abusive experiences with males in my life--both as a child and an adult.... but my stubborn streak will not allow me to apply what I feel towards a few males to a whole group........ not sure-- maybe I'm thick headed?

With that said though, in general I find trust very difficult, no matter what gender.
