It is a fact that young men are more romantic than young women. Young men fall in love at the drop of a hat. Young women, on the other hand, are much more pragmatic when it comes to choosing marriage partners. Men consider that being with their partners is sufficient to express their love. Whereas women consider a man romantic only if the word love is always on his lips.
Men attach more importance to marriage than women do, and there are fewer male celibates. Moreover, men find more satisfaction in marriage. A survey found that 87% of the men questioned said that if they married again they would choose the same partners, whereas 76% of the women questioned said the same.
Men feel pain, but they handle it in a different way from women. It is true that after divorce they will not lose control of themselves by crying bitterly, but they suffer more from stomach disorders, plunge into alcoholism and cause traffic accidents. Another survey found that divorced men can only overcome their emotional pain by means of physical exercise.
Men generally dislike admitting that they need other people. They regard admitting loneliness as weakness, as ridiculous and as an expression of a lack of manliness. The fact that men do not like to talk about loneliness does not mean that they never feel lonely. And men do have a good reason for avoiding the topic of loneliness, because they fear that others will usually look down on them. However, if a woman confides in someone that she is lonely, far from looking down on her, people will be very willing to help her.
Ninety-four percent of men wish to change their image. A study found that a man’s self-esteem is often directly connected with his outward appearance. Thin and small men often regard themselves as punny and easily sink into depression.
Men generally think of themselves as decision-makers, and not as shoulders to cry on. So when a person pours out his or her troubles to a man, the latter hastens to give advice. It would be better if he simply lent a sympathetic ear.
