Why Do Guys Act The Way They Do? by Nobody: 8:16am On Sep 12, 2012
Hello guys n pretty ladies in the house, am currently writing a book on Male Psychology. It is not an academic book per se! And I intend to make it as reader-friendly as possible.

Ladies especially, if there is anything you would love to know or understand about male habits, obsessions n stereotype behaviour, feel free to ask.

Guyz, u can as well help me respond to these questions. Feel free to be opinionated.
I'll also tend to d questions to d best of my "shrink" ability. Remember, this will go a long way to aid my writing. Am in dire need of fresh perspective!!
Jah bless u all as u contribute!!!

You can only write a book when you have lived a book.

Our behaviour (both males and females here) are determined by two very powerful forces. Our evolutionary programming and our social programming.

I don't have strength to type. However, the short of it:

Evolutionary: inseminate as many fertile chics as possible.

Social: Be a good-boy, moronic, chivalrous woman wrapper.

Google is your friend wink.

Trust me I read the thread hastily,the other time,just gone through it.
Male Psychology(initially I thought it had to do with dating and asking girls out)

I was wrong

I dont think you are.. You cant write on the psychology of men if you dont fully grasp the way the psychology of men work. For you to do so, it has to be that you are writing from experience, from research or from your studies (ie. you are a graduate of Male psychology from XXXX univeristy).
Any opinion drawn from any other source other than the abouve listed is fiction and hearsay, hence is of no use to anybody.angry

He is asking for a fresh perspective so that means he lacks direction on the book and leads me to question his authority to even be writing such a book in the first place.

Why do guys act the way they do:
In realting with others or in their personal pursuits
Emotionally
Psychologically
Socially
Spiritually
In Marital affairs
Financially
At work with their jobs
Etc

The way u act stems from d way u think, so this shld take u on a journey to d man's mind. The rationale behind his philosophy towards life in general. Does a guy's experiences shape d way he acts or d way he acts determines his experiences? If so, are there experiences peculiar to guys? and how do they react to such occurrences. Bla bla & blah undecided

Factors that affect the way a MAN (or any human being devoid of sex) acts, thinks, behaves, responds and relates with are so many;

1. Genetics..

2. Environment

3. Peer influence

4. Family upbringing

5. History

6. Emotions

7. Hormones

8. Perspective

9. Faith

10. Culture

11. Societal norms

12. AND THE LIST GOES ON!!

Yes, u r getting somewhere!! For months now, I have been taking notes, observing people in real life n online forums!!

Simple question: why r most males obsessed with having male offspring?
Answer: the male's desire for immortality! *.....then u'll want to know how n why......!*

ArQueBusieR: Why do men kill?

Too ambiguous!!! Why not ask why do men poo?

Generally living things kill to survive! Either their victim is food or a threat!!!
However, serial killers may kill to feel powerful or to feel relevant(by making news)!
Be more specific!!!
#Why r most males homophobic, yet homo-social??

The answer to this question is not as simple as you think..

Culture, Society, Beliefs, Tradition, Family, Upbringing, faith e.t.c all combine to play a part in this..

Male children dont guarantee immortality or suggest immortality in anyway.. Maybe continuity of 'Name' but definitely not immortality.

A question like this needs to be supported by a poll that suggests the MOST (emphasis on most) males are homophobes.. I am a guy, but I am definitely not homophobic. Infact, I do have a few gay friends. angry

Yes! Immortality!!! U die, but ur name, pedigree and lineage lives on!! Then u'll wonder, does d female child not bear d male's genes?.....
And of course I won't write out a full sub-head here!! I was just giving my broda there a clue of how d questions should be asked, n how d answers should come!!

Look, I just want to see if someone will bring up a virgin area that am yet to write about!

#do u know dat certain habits like cigarette smoking helps males socialize n fraternize easier in a new environment? Why is that??
Re: Why Do Guys Act The Way They Do? by Nobody: 12:41pm On Sep 12, 2012
Where the ladies @ na??
Do u know dat for a second or two after intercourse, the male's psyche disconnects from d female? While d female may desire to be cuddled, d male may rather prefer to roll over n doze off or walk across d room n lit a cigarette!! More like mission accomplished!! Why is dat??
#forget exhaustion & all that!!!
Re: Why Do Guys Act The Way They Do? by Euroclydon(m): 12:50pm On Sep 12, 2012
In response to stimuli... When u act opposite of that response,u are a strong man! e.g, u see a fine lady and instead of complimenting her as other guys would do,yab her and u will get her attention.
