What Men Think

Interesting article about a woman who went "undercover" as a man. Pretty neat stuff she comes away with, like how men are generally more welcoming and less suspicious of newcomers. She skirts around the fact that men just feel that they can defend themselves against a stranger, and figures welcoming someone to their brotherhood is disarming. (Why don't politicians use this tactic is beyond me.)

She also mentions how women think men lack emotional depth and intelligence. What she realized is that men have an economy of words, and know how to express and understand the meanings around the words spoken. Interesting thought! So, while ladies will always complain about the way men don't emote (and then get angry unless they do it in the right way), the author realizes that certain male interactions work better when less is said.

I'm being vague, I know, but I heard this late Tuesday night and thought it would be a great thing to pass along.
