How do men behave????

Don't try to understand 'men'. Focus on understanding someone on an individual level because when it comes down to it you don't need to understand men to be happy in a relationship. Men are simple.

There's way too many stereotypes flying around. These are stereoypes that get accepted, become part of mainstream culture and then get glorified. A man is supposed to be analytical and a woman-emotional. A man is supposed to like beer and watch sports and drive an SUV etc. Men are not passionate, they are hunters and want sex, sex, sex...It is so annoying to keep reading the same things and arguments! Instead of bonding, we look for differences.
The truth is, most men never stop being little boys inside, always trying to be the coolest dude in class, to show how many women he can be irresistable to etc...etc...
If some type of behaviour was rewarded in the past with the gaping admiration of his fellow boys, this behaviour will be endlessly perpetuated...I have a friend who make's a point of calling me every now and then to brag how many women he's with at once etc. it's like listenning to a five year old boy saying something like: "my dad can beat up yor dad!" Self-gratification rules! lOOK AT MY EGO SWELL! I'm full of confidence now...
But some of us are just normal human beings with integrity, who are liberated from this whole childishness, who don't have to prove anything, who can actually communicate and who can be understood without working from this "men and women are completely different" pedestal.
Sorry if it sounds ponderous, but I'm trying to finally speak out for us men, and seperate us from the boys!!!!

Behave? Just like I do in real life. I try to be polite, honest and silly. I treat everyone just the way I would like to be treated.

If I find someone I am interested in on POF I try to maintain contact as often as possible. Dont ask too many questions, share a lot of laughs, comment on such and such and tease a little.

The only thing I ask of women is please do not lead me on, dont play hard to get (I really hate this. If I have to jump through any hoops to get your attention I am gone.)

Just be your self, like I am.

There is no ritual or rules. It's just two people trying to learn more about each other. Do not over think it.

I'm a slow learner. Months of trying to understand how men behave and I don't think I've gotten it yet

Months?!?!?! Wow!!! I've been at it for YEARS sweetie and STILL am BAFFLED!!!



I think it's not as general as all that. But more about someone who speaks "your" language....so that you communicate well...

It's been some time since I have read this... hope my answers help.

1) If people are interested in your profile, then they should respond appropriately.
2) Mostly, I just strike up a conversation and see where it goes.
3) Women need to respond or answer your questions, if they're interested.

no mystery hon. Men want sex, food and a remote control,lol. Of course if he is interested in you he will write you back, want to talk to you and then meet you. Not really complicated. Watch out for the married guys though.
