What the MEN said...

Updated: Jan 31, 2021

I asked 40 men a simple question...

"How do Men differ from Women?"


Below are the real responses from men of all ages. Wherever I traveled, I asked them that simple question, "In your opinion, how do men differ from women?" Their unedited answers along with their ages are as follows:

Women talking in a group have more drama than men. Men just hang out – less deep.

Age 30


Women are more emotional – not in a bad way though. Men are more interested in sex than a relationship. Age 33


Men focus on single tasks to accomplish their goals. Women can do a multitude of things at once. Age 30


Men are more spontaneous. Women think about it first... overthink it. Age 61


Women are cute and men are ugly. Age 61


Women are more into family and men are more into careers. Age 42


Women complicate things that shouldn’t be complicated. They put too much emotion into things that don’t need it and not enough into what is needed by men. They enjoy drama but they also keep things nice and in order for most part. Women lose their own sex appeal too fast. They get complacent in a way. Age 51


Men – they don’t like drama or bs. They can be selfish and rude. They don’t know respect as a woman does. They want sex and sex and if wife or girlfriend ain't doing it, they will graze elsewhere. They communicate like they’re 12. Men think they work and come home and be served. They think they can do as they like for whatever reason. They’re the ruler in their mind. Age 51


Men are stronger. Men are more forgetful than women. Women are more nurturing and coddling. Women hold onto negative interactions whereas men forgive and forget. Age 62


The main difference is emotional versus physical. Women need to be connected in order to have sex while men need sex in order to feel connected. Age 54


I believe women and men have the same instincts that animals have as well as our prehistoric ancestors. Men are born with the innate instinct to solve problems without the emotional tie. Need food, hunt it. Need shelter, build it. They solve issues and protect the family. Women are very loyal, supportive, emotional and born nurturers. These traits are seen in their build. During the start of a relationship these roles intertwine and complement each other, but as time rolls on the man has accomplished all of his goals and the woman’s emotions and nurturing instincts wither away. That is why most men will leave their spouse to find a new adventure and most women leave to find new love. Age 49


Men are more insensitive than women. They don’t care. Age 21


Men just need a physical connection with a woman – men are about their d*cks. Age 27


Of course they are physically different... but thoughts, reasoning and spirituality are the same. Age 42


Men are slow to get emotional. Women are quick to emotion. If they like a guy they will invest quickly. Men want to make sure... they are afraid of commitment. Age 55


Men have their ego – they let it get in the way of who they really are. Age 50


Relationship expectations are off. What looks honest or real is sometimes dishonest and fake. A lot of people bullsh*t – they lie to get in an immediate relationship or a long-term relationship. Women have concerns about body image but most women/men who are not perfect can still find someone who will treat them well. At age 35-40 women start to downgrade expectations or sex appeal in their partner to get to a stage that they think they should be at. At that age they start to feel pressure so they lower their standards. How they deal with conflict differs. Men process then talk a little at a time – they wont spill their guts like a woman will. Women go on and on. Age 35


Women are not as strong. Can't do a lot of physical work. But they are better workers. Age 55


Men are much quicker shoppers. Age 50


Women are emotionally driven/strategic/calculating/planning and men are instinctively driven. Age 41


Men are reactive, women are proactive. Age 35


I don’t think there is a difference between men and women. Age 69


Women are better at negotiation in conversation. For women, it’s communication for communications sake. Guys just want an answer – not to discuss and discuss. Age 58


One word... Emotions. Age 60


Men are better. Age 39


Chromosomally different – gender roles are more fluid now. The drive is also different because you are male. Age 28


Biologically different and also societally different. Times have changed – people are more open-minded. Employment roles are not so defined as male or female – for instance you will see more female construction workers in today’s world. There is less stereotyping in the workplace. Age 26


The masculine energy is aggressive... always moving ahead... warrior mentality – just like a phallus moving forward. Female energy is soothing and accepting in nature – accepting the phallus. Age 22


Women are not as emotionally sure as men. Age 22


Their perspective of life is different. Women have a higher expectation of what life should be. Men live for the day...no expectations. Age 69


Men are crazy and women are crazier! Age 60


When two women are talking, you can’t hear men! Age 60


Men want to set up their future before they commit. Women want that sense of commitment first before they can move ahead with a career or family. Age 25


Women are never wrong! Age 47


Men think with their d*cks! Age 52


Guys take chances and are fearless. Women are more reasonable – more conscientious. Age 40


Women are more nurturing with children. Guys are more mechanically inclined. The ethnical background matters - women are more hot-headed and women can be more manipulative then men. Age 47


One has a vagina and one has a penis. Age 38


The maturity level is different. Girls mature faster. Girls are also stronger at English language arts. Boys are stronger at math and science. Women look at more permanence – having a house/life/family.. Guys look for more in the moment – not long-term. Age 40


Biggest difference is that men still think like it is the 1950s but society says something different. Men still want women to cook and clean etc. Women tend to overthink situations more than men. Age 47


Women are far more strategic. Men think tactically (day to day) while women are focused on the long game. Age 32


Thank you to all who participated in this poll - I am grateful for your honesty!
