What Men Are Made Of

*Men in general are good-willed human beings who are also pretty basic in their desires and ambition.

*Men are project oriented. Whether it be a marriage, a carrier, an affair, anything - they'd go for it with a certain ambition for an accomplishment;

*Men are weak for attention/ someone to like them. No matter how tough they may act and sound at work, or a disciplinarian as a father, deep inside they ALL crave for this one thing: to have someone they could crawl onto lap of and tell them how much they are appreciated/ respected just for who the are.

* Men can be pretty insecure. They get used to rejection and humiliation early in life. All the pressures and demands of everyday life (to compete, to provide, to solve, to manage, and other ways of life rat-racing) take a serious toll on their self-image and self- esteem. They learn to conceal their emotions, so others around them would NEVER know how they really feel.

*Men are sex driven. That's how they're simply "wired" as men. Their eyes are in the business of wondering (visual stimulation is always something so hard for them to control). Majority of them will go for it without thinking twice, if the opportunity arises with a little chance of being caught.

*"L-O-V-E" for men is spelled "R-E-S-P-E-C-T". Ask any guy whether he'd rather be loved (the way we women understand LOVE) or respected, and 95% of them will choose the later. You don't have to agree with them, just admire and revere their councel...

*Men, as a rule, are self-proud. It's so much harder for them to forgive or apologize than for us women. They are also stubborn. Hard-headed. Selfish. But then you'll ask, "And who isn't?"

*Men are better leaders. They are not easily lead by emotions the way we women are. They are more matter-of-fact minded and level-headed.

*Men NEED us/ women at the end of the busy day. We can be their strength, their comfort. We are their companion and friend, and someone they can cry onto the shoulder in the moment of weakness and unsurity.

We love, like, and UNCONDITIONALLY respect you, guys. Why? Because you're ours.

I agree with most of it, keeping individual variability in mind.

Not sure I agree with the leader part though, some of the best "bosses" I've ever had have been women.

Aha - but you know how it goes. Sometimes the comments we believe to be unflattering are the ones that men prove to be most delighted by

Doncha just love it when a woman speaks for a man?

Granted, some of the post has elements of truth to it. But just as all women are individuals, so *gasp!* are all men.

For instance, personally I'm the first to forgive an indiscretion made against me, or apologize when I've been an a$$. And I know plenty of women - actually, I think every woman I know - who hold grudges a long, long time. Their memory for some sort of imagined slight only gets more ingrained over time.

cute responses here! espc snakes & snails and written bj.

super, you make valid points. while over-generalizations are a pet peave for me, i have to agree my observations show women tend to hold grudges longer.

also see things in the original post that do apply to men i know.

but your right, we are all individuals.

On the other hand, "Many a true word is spoken in jest."

Don't mention it. Normally my time's charged out at £150 per hour...but I believe in giving back to society by doing as much pro bono work as I can.

Hang on, were you talking to me or the original poster? If it's the latter, any comments relating to self-absorption will be accepted gracefully.
