“Understanding the way men think can be quite the complex undertaking for any woman.”
While as men, we have common nuances that connect us a gender, our desires and thought processes are shaped by distinct and various factors that are often influenced by a variety of elements. To truly comprehend what goes on in the mind of a man, one must first appreciate that men are products of their environment. In order to understand us, you must first understand our origins.It is a common thought that as men, if we perform any excessive displays of emotion then it presents us as inferior creatures, especially to our counterparts and in the eyes of the opposite sex. To further dissect the male mind against the background of cultural dynamics and change, as a means of providing basic generalization, as men we fall into one of three categories that influence how we think.
THE ALPHA MALE
Men who identify within this category are those who see themselves as the leaders of the pack; whether in society or within their own clique. These men are driven by power, ego and status. Their actions are influenced by their desire to be seen as important and powerful.
THE TRADITIONAL MAN
There are men however who do not subscribe to these beliefs and ideologies. The traditional man’s desire is more centered on building and nurturing his family. These are the men who believe in commitment and courting their potential wife. These men believe in the institution of marriage and committed relationships.
THE NEW AGE MAN
With globalization, accessibility to information and exposure to varying cultural dynamics come the new age man. The focus of these men deviates from the two most common perspectives of thinking. These men are driven by their passion to explore and experience. For these men, exposure to the global space is more important than flaunting wealth and being committed to relations.
