Mind set of men... the what, when and why of the human male...
Woman wonder how and why men come to the conclusions to do what we do in life, here is an answer, ladies... It is a good primer on men in general....
Date: 8/28/2005 4:41:45 PM ( 19 y ) ... viewed 2586 times A lady recently requested I expound on the mind set of the male... Having lived as a male for over half a century, and spent most of my life in the presence of other men; I feel I can shade some light on this subject matter.... Key word some...
We will discuss these in the normal, day to day world of a man.... We are assuming he is fed, clothed and has adequate shelter to survive.. So the basic things are covered, now on to how he thinks...
First let me say that most every man likes to look at or view a nice female body... Well DUH!! I realize this does not come as a shock to most people.... But for the record we must set the ground rules for the male mind...
Rule one : is to be aware of the female(s) or Chercher la femme... (French)
This has been prewired into all men; so we will move on to his, reasoning.... The average male is usually interested in finding, or developing, or taking, or being involved in something {activies}... Some of these can be any thing from survival {fight or flight}, to improvement {both personal and environmental}, to help / sharing {family or others}, to R&R { Rest & Recreational actives}, down to his biological sexua| urge(s)...
Since there are literal thousands of scenarios of the above groups, we will touch on just a few examples...
Fight or flight; this is a basic instinct of the male.... There will be situations where he will have to make a decision wither to stand and fight or take flight in order to fight another day... [Some times retreat is the better part of valor i.e. live to fight another day] Thai is why men do much better in combat situations than women, it is a burned in reaction...
Men are also wired to explore, search, look for, investigate..... If you notice little boys are more inquisitive than little girls... Boys like to go see, check things out, find stuff, ect... That is why men seem to make better travelers, going off to different places, they are more at ease, than the female... Not to say that females don't or can't travel, DUH!! It is just that men are better or more at ease with being gone form the home place..... {This is not intended to be a debate on male vs female; who can do it better or any such.... folks}
The male can be a great provider and supporter for the female, he loves to protect and provide for the family group... This is why the family group is so strong and important for the society... History has show that when this bond is broken down much havoc and social up evil results... We will take that subject up on another blog if and when you want to know.... Breaking the family bond is bad, bad, bad....
In the so called work realm, men have provided most all the inventions, built most all the buildings, ships, roads, mines, etc., and developed the society by building things... This is a historical fact, again this does not mean that women did not provide some support or contribute in many ways.... It is just that the male has taken the main role of the provider/ buider... Now in complete fairness to women; the female has provided, her body for the bringing forth of children, feed, nurtured the family, cared for the sick, worked in the fields, factories, as well as keeping the home fire burning... Thanks you ladies, and history has not been as fair to you but you did it.... The society thanks you one and all.... I thank you...... We would not be here if it were not for the valiant and determined efforts of the women in history...
Rule two: Is for the male would be to provide help, support, and protection for the family unit...
Rule Three for most males is R&R : Some form of entertainment, amusement, sport, or other activity to both enrich both the mind and the body....
This aspect has been some what convoluted, with the advent of the movie, TV, and now the internet... Men epically can get very involved in some of these actives that can come to control his life... This is an area where there needs to be some checks and balances... The male should be accountable to either another male (mentor) or his wife if married... If these are missing then there can be very difficult circumstances for all involved.... This is what breaks up families, and causes most of the strife in the society.... If and when men lose their bearings, and become victims to vices, and other influences of the world... Too much of a even a good thing is BAD.... Everyone suffers...
I could tell you some stories about such things, and I know people who have lived, thru these type situations, we will not go there now, but if you really, really, really want to know, let me know and we will shock your socks off folks...
Rule four : The male is very task orinted....
Most men perform best when given a task, assignment, opportunity, or directive... This is where men again excel in military/ business assignments... They will preform at a task / assignment and usually to completion... This is where the so called "Honey DO List" comes in ladies... It will help the male grasp the assignments, and push for task completion... Please ladies do not use this as some type of wants and wishes list, just try to work out the basic requirements, with you husband and things will get done and every body will be happy... It does help to have the task / assignments made out in some rational list form.... So here is one of the secretes to a successful marriage... Of course the husband has to be reasonable and understanding, if there is to be harmony in the marriage...
So ladies this relationship is not a one way street, and everyone must share in the experience... There has to be some give and take.... Not all take and no give... Here is lies the key to a better[note I did not use perfect} marriage... Refer to some of my past blogs, for info on perfect... DUH!! it does not exist.... There ain't any perfect men or women....
Rule five : A man needs sexua| interaction...
You ladies knew we would get to this part of the picture..... Enough said this is a basic over view of the mind set of men.... It is not complete or does it pretend to be anything but a brief overview, on the mind set of men... I purposely did not get into the sexua| aspects, except to say it is a release and one of his main drives in life; since most of you all are familiar with this subject.... If you are in the dark about this; we need to talk.... email or reply...
Thank you...
