Do you feel like you
truly understand
men? Much has been
written about how
men don’t
understand women,
but the truth is that
there is a whole lot
about men that
women do not
understand as well.
The point is not to
spark a debate about
“the battle of the
sexes” or anything
like that. Rather, it is
important for all of
us to understand
that there is a
tremendous amount
of confusion about
what it means “to be
a man” in America
today. So many of
our young men seem
lost, so many of our
older men seem
defeated and
depressed, and all
over this country
families are
completely falling
apart. We need to
understand our
problems so that we
can start focusing on
solutions.
Below, I have shared
17 things about men
that most women
don’t know. Some of
them are funny,
some of them are
quite interesting and
some of them are
extremely serious.
But all of them say
something about
where we are as a
society today…
#1 When women age,
they tend to become
attracted to older men.
For example, one study
found that 20-year-old
women are most
attracted to 23-year-old
men and 50-year-old
women are most
attracted to 46-year-
old men. But the same
is not true when we
look at men.
That same
study found that 20-
year-old men are most
attracted to 20-year-old
women and 50-year-old
men are most
attracted to 22-year-old
women.
#2 Many men often put
on a bold front, but
inside they are not
nearly as
secure. At least that is
what one survey
found. When presented
with the
statement “I am not
always as confident as
I look”, 76 percent of
men chose the
response “I feel like this
regularly/sometimes”.
#3 If you could look into
their hearts,
you would find that
most men are not
truly happy. In fact, one
survey of 50-
year-old men found
that only 12
percent of them said
that they were
“very happy”.
#4 Many men still
believe in traditional
gender roles. For
example, one survey
found that 57 percent
of men expect
to always pay on a
date. Alternatively,
20 percent believed that
whoever
initiated the date should
pay, and 18 percent
believed that date
costs
should be split.
#5 If women are
wondering if it has
become harder to find
men that are in
good shape, that is
because it is true.
According to the CDC,
34.6 percent of
all men in America are
obese at this
point. But that doesn’t
mean that men are
tolerant of weight gain
in women.
Sadly, one survey
discovered that 50
percent of men would
dump their
partner “if they gained
a significant
amount of weight”.
#6 Most single men
realize that
women consider
financial security to
be an extremely
important factor in
attractiveness. One
recent survey
found that “a steady
job” is the
number one thing that
women are looking for
in a husband, and
another
survey discovered that
75 percent of
women would have a
serious problem
dating an unemployed
man. As a
result of these
attitudes, many men
measure their self-
worth by the size of
their paychecks.
#7 In recent years, the
number of men
that are struggling to
find work has
reached new heights. In
fact, the
inactivity rate for men
in their prime
working years (25 to
54) is now at the
highest level that has
ever been recorded.
#8 86 percent of men
include “having
children” in their
definition of success.
For women, that
number is only 73
percent.
#9 Many men also wish
that they
could spend less time
working and
more time with their
children. One poll
found that 46 percent
of fathers say
that they don’t spend
enough time
with their kids.
#10 Men are really
dropping behind
women when it comes
to college education. In
2013, 60 percent of all
bachelor’s degrees
were earned by
women.
#11 Men are much
more likely “not to leave
the nest” than women.
In 2012, an astounding
40 percent of all men in
the 18 to 31-year-old
age group still
lived with their parents.
#12 There is a porn
epidemic among
men. This is true even
among men that
are supposed to be
religious. One
survey found that 64
percent of all
Christian men ages 31
to 49 look at porn at
least monthly.
#13 An astounding 30
percent of all Internet
traffic currently goes to
adult websites.
#14 There are more
than 4 million adult
websites on the
Internet, and
they get more traffic
than Netflix,
Amazon and Twitter
combined.
#15 Society has trained
young men to avoid
getting married, and
this has resulted in an
absolutely stunning
decline in the marriage
rate. Back in
1920, there were 92.3
marriages for
every 1,000 unmarried
women. In 2012, there
were only 31.1
marriages
for every 1,000
unmarried women.
#16 The average age
at first marriage just
keeps going up for men
and for
women. At this point,
the average age
when a man first gets
married has
reached an all-time high
of 29.0 years.
#17 Women have
always lived longer than
men and that is still
true today. Women
have a life expectancy
of 81.0
years and men have a
life expectancy
of just 76.2 years.
So what do you think
about all of this?
