what is it like to be a man?

Question

as a woman i'd like to know how different it is.

Answer 1

Aside from the biological attributes....the difference is really there is no difference. Women and Men struggle with a lot of the same issues. Everyone would like to think that their sexual gender is the one that has it the hardest. Not so, men and women deal with emotional issues, family issues, work issues, you name it and you almost find an example where men and women share a common ground. Now if your question was more specific....for example how is it for a man in the job market? or how do men deal with rejection? Then there would more of an answer to give to you. Don't be taken by the idea that men are more sexualy driven....I would believe both sexes have the same drive when the need is there!!! I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Everything is driven by sex. Even the guys that say they are not driven by sex will be going for money or power and the rewards of Power and Money are having many women throw themselves on those type of guys.

Even the guys that marry one woman will do things to provide for her and that is related to sex and spending time with her.

You have the member between your legs and it really is a big part of your life. You touch it many times a day when you go to the bathroom when you hold it. It gets hard and soft several times during the day for no special reason.

If you want to have some fun. Get in a place like a Mall or an event and sit down or better yet wear sunglasses that they can not see your eyes and then watch mens eyes as girls walk by. They will flash looks at the pretty girls. Doesn't matter how old the guy is or how young the girl is they will check out the girls. Then watch very close and they will quickly glance at the bottom or puss area on the girls. Most of the time they will act like they are looking at something else but watch for the quick eye movement down to those areas. Also will look at breasts.

The best way I can describe how it feels might be to compair the hormonal changes you feel or emotions you feel due to hormones but the difference is those emotions is guys are ALWAYS just a stronger want to have sex vs only just a normal want to have sex or think about sex. It just never goes away.

Males are on this earth to breed... and we are given a want to breed and that leads our entire life.

Older we get the less the equipment works but the urge is still there.

Do the watching guys eyes thing... you will get a good laugh out of it.... but they only do it when they think no one is watching.

Answer 3

I cry all the time due to the pressure of daily living, can't make up my mind when I go shopping, wish i was more attractive, am paranoid about the competition, smoke to keep my weight down and ease the nerves, want it all my own way, don't get my dues at work cos my female boss is a sexist a**hole, am thinking of having an implant to increase the size of the organ by which I'm most often judged, and wish I had a buffer butt. Hope that helps :-)

Answer 4

Here are one man's feelings, as to being a man;

Physical power, regardless of size. We seem to lack that fear of being mugged or attacked, that women so often are burdened by. We go through life without much fear, except that we might have a heart attack or car accident crash. And/or, we have a fear/anxiety as to women. "Will she accept me?"

[{of course, we will NEVER let on that we are afraid of females, but we really ARE!}]

Constant desiring of the company of a woman, and fascination with everything about women, short of wearing their clothes....:-)

A feeling that machines were built for us to take apart and put back together.

Appartently, a relative lack of concern about how we look or dress.

A loneliness, in that we do not relate in --depth personally to other men, and we have to be very careful about doing that with a woman. Anything we say can and will be used against us, which is why we tend to clam up and remain silent.

We have the freedom from monthly periods and pregnancy, but we feel the constant prurient itching of lust. Our sexuality is a problem to us, as it probably is for women as well.

But if a man is softened by love, of animals, of nature, of women, instead of being combative and angry all the time, it's not at all a bad thing, to be a man.

Answer 5

Ok, imagine being sex obsessed to the point of being physically incapable of NOT looking at every attractive woman on the street and visualizing her naked.
Imagine being expected to make the first move ALL THE TIME. Imagine being expected to make all the decisions, and then being yelled at for being control freaks.
Being expected to pay all the big bills and make the most money. Being expected to be aggressive and confident and yet gentle and sensitive at the same time.
Being expected to know what women are thinking or feeling without being told, even though we're NEVER expected to do those things by other men.
Being expected to voice our feelings even though we aren't used to voicing our feelings and are told since childhood to keep our thoughts to ourselves.

It goes on and on, but this should give you a fairly good idea.

Answer 6

Teh characterstics of man:
1) Truthful
2) Brave and courageous
3) Honest and committed to all covenants and commitments
4) Honorable and dignified.

Right now we are having severe shortage of men. Most of the xy men are pseudo men. Only Quran give super power to man to become a true super power like Palestinian children figthing most sophisticated State terrorism of Israel.

Answer 7

Well, I've heard that if you get the diet and exercise right by puberty so that the horomones (testosterone and pituitary mainly) are right, that it isn't half bad. ;)

And then....there are the *rest of us*. The ones who did NOT, by and large, end up a square-jawed, muscled-up *bullet-head*. For us it can really suck.

We get crap skin, beards that neither look good grown out or clean shaven, a greater risk of both being bald and having the belly as we get older ("older" being defined downward as anything above 30, mind you), higher blood pressure, we're more likely to be near-sighted, more likely to *die* as we get up to 70, 80 years of age (versus about 85-90 for most women)....

And for what? So maybe we can have a little more muscle, a little more size to the upper body that is useful.

Basically, the quickest way to describe it is to put it in _Lord of the Rings_ terms. Men are generally *orcs*, Women are generally Elves.

Meaning, when we turn out right we kick nine kinds of tail, but getting us to turn out right is a pain, and doesn't often happen.

Which leads to *rejection*, not just by the other sex, but by society and its *pecking orders*, which are largely dictated by...

Male hormones. Competiton, and being territorial. So you can see how it is a vicious circle, right? ;)

We have, on average, 10-20 *times* as much testosterone in our bloodstream as the average woman does. This means our brains are much *much* more likely to be addled with random, mostly *unwanted* thoughts of a) sex, b) competition, c) sex, d) violence, e) sex, f) rock and roll, g) sex, h) Science! and oh yeah, did I mention I) SEX??

Really. Men hit their peaks at about 18 on average. Women hit theirs around 40. That alone should speak volumes.

But in case it doesn't...you know how you have a bit of an emotional, hormonal roller-coaster ride each month with your menses?

Now imagine a lower-yield, but more stubborn version of that happening EVERY DAY. Imagine not having a day go by where you *don't* think about being aroused, or about having *some* sort of emotional thing going on that the Society around you tells you to stifle, and/or replace with Socially Approved Outlets For Anger (like *football* or *beer*, urgh).

Imagine having, in some ways, a really thin skin emotionally, not having an outlet for it *at all*, and being told relentlessly since infancy that you have to "get tough" when the toughness doesn't show up--or doesn't turn out right. Imagine being the most touchy, sensitive neighbor on the block, who *also has* the biggest *gun collection*.

I hope this helps, and keep in mind, like I hinted at up top, that some folks *are* good at Being The Guy (tm). But I'm not, and I know I am not the only one who sucks at it, ok? :p

Answer 8

Well I enjoy being a man very much. I enjoy the company of females for certain things and the close bond with male friends

Answer 9

Wow, that's a good question.
Well, men feel that they should be the aggressor, provider and the foundation of a relationship. Although that doesn't always happen. Men want to be admired for their masculinity and intelligence. Although that doesn't always happen either.
Some of us feel that women are stronger spiritually, but would never admit it. I guess what I'm trying to say is we live in a kind of dream world.

Answer 10

Live like a man for a year and see.
