fergus -> RE: What I know about Men (11/4/2006 9:06:54 PM)

LotusSong ... Never before have I heard such posting from a woman about men. You show a unique understanding. Honestly I can only attribute it to the fact that so few women seem to think men are worth getting to know, and that it is only us who should be figureing out women! (a daunting task to be sure). Thank you for your postings thus far! We are not merely the two-dimensional idiots that we are often portrayed as on TV sitcoms.
With that, I'll throw in my two cents.
For men, everything .... and I do mean everything .... is somehow a competition. ESPECIALLY in the context of relating to other men. It is locked deep within our hard-wiring. But, because it is so deeply ingrained in the social culture of men, we approach our competition with a sense of honor.
A group of men will quickely develop its own unwritten rules of fair play and conduct. A man that steps outside of those boundries is made aware of it fairly quickley.
Men approach tasks with a kind of singleminded focus that generates a level of detail unmatched. Okay, we can't multi-taks well. It is hard for men to walk and chew gum at the same time, but a problem that requires attention will have a man's undying focus.
