A Look Inside the Mind of Man
by I recently inquired with some women about what were some of the things that concerned them about the thoughts of the men in their lives. Interestingly, many came up with some of the same questions.
Before we can even begin to deal with the why, what, and how, we have to explore the makeup of a man. Men are analytical, sight-stimulated creative creatures. Men naturally are challenge motivated, and have a competitive nature. Contrary to popular belief, men also are very sentimental. However, this cannot be mistaken for being emotional, because there is a major difference between the two.
As I address some of these concerns, I must say that this cannot be taken as an absolute for all men. There are so many variables that make up a man, that one person cannot speak for the whole. I can only speak from my own experiences, and from what I have seen. I have been teaching men in my church for the past 13 years, so I do have some insight on how men process.
What Makes a Man?
There are a lot of things that contribute to making a man who he is. One of the major ingredients is what type of male influence was in the man’s life growing up. You have many types of men that deposit into a man’s life, and depending on what’s the strongest voice dictates the direction that a man follows.
Whenever you get involved with a man, it’s wise to do a background check. Too many times, I see ladies, both young and old, looking at the outside extremities to select a mate. Of course you want something good to look at, but don’t allow that to be your foundation for getting involved. Spend some time around the family and friends to see who and what is speaking into your potential partner’s life. You can never expect a man to give you something that he’s never been taught or exposed to. Also inquire about any past relationships. If there are any unresolved issues, then it may forward into the present one. In other words, do your homework before you allow yourself to get too involved.
Some of the questions that were asked were:
Are there any honest men who are honest about their feelings, past, and ambitions?
Whenever a couple starts dating, you go through what I like to call the “good behavior” period. This can last anywhere from six months to a year. Any time that you’re together, you’re always trying to put the best foot forward. Any time within that time frame, the real them will sooner or later come forward.
