It is a fact that young men are more romantic than young women. Young men fall in love at the drop of a hat. Young women, on the other hand, are much more pragmatic when it comes to choosing marriage partners. Men consider that being with their partners is sufficient to express their love. Whereas women consider a man romantic only if the word love is always on his lips.

Men attach more importance to marriage than women do, and there are fewer male celibates. Moreover, men find more satisfaction in marriage. A survey found that 87% of the men questioned said that if they married again they would choose the same partners, whereas 76% of the women questioned said the same.

Men feel pain, but they handle it in a different way from women. It is true that after divorce they will not lose control of themselves by crying bitterly, but they suffer more from stomach disorders, plunge into alcoholism and cause traffic accidents. Another survey found that divorced men can only overcome their emotional pain by means of physical exercise.

Men generally dislike admitting that they need other people. They regard admitting loneliness as weakness, as ridiculous and as an expression of a lack of manliness. The fact that men do not like to talk about loneliness does not mean that they never feel lonely. And men do have a good reason for avoiding the topic of loneliness, because they fear that others will usually look down on them. However, if a woman confides in someone that she is lonely, far from looking down on her, people will be very willing to help her.

Ninety-four percent of men wish to change their image. A study found that a man’s self-esteem is often directly connected with his outward appearance. Thin and small men often regard themselves as punny and easily sink into depression.

Men generally think of themselves as decision-makers, and not as shoulders to cry on. So when a person pours out his or her troubles to a man, the latter hastens to give advice. It would be better if he simply lent a sympathetic ear.

青年男子实际上比青年女子更浪漫。年轻的男子爱上一个人很容易，年轻的女子正好相反，她们在选择婚姻的伴侣时更注重实际。男人们认为，和他们的伴侣在一起就是充分表达他们的爱。然而，女人们判断男人浪漫与否，需要看他是否将“爱”时常挂在嘴边。

男人比女人更注重婚姻。男性中的独身主义者要比女性中的少。而且，在婚姻生活中，男人能得到更多的满足。一项调查显示，被提问的男士当中有87%的人认为，如果可以重新结婚的话，他们还会选择自己现在的妻子，而只有76%的女士有这样的说法。

男人也有痛苦的感觉，只是他们的发泄方式不同于女人。事实上，在离异的时候，他们不会像女人那样感情失控，痛哭流涕，他们更多的是受肠胃功能紊乱的折磨，去喝酒，常引发交通事故。另一项调查表明，离异后的男人只能通过体育锻炼的方式，来排解感情上的痛苦。

通常，男人都不喜欢承认需要他人。他们认为承认孤独就是一种软弱，是一种可笑的举动，是一种缺乏刚毅的表现。男人不喜欢谈论孤独，但这并不意味着他们从不感觉孤单。对于孤独话题的逃避，男人的确有一个很好的理由：因为时常害怕会被人看不起。然而，如果一个女人向某人倾诉自己很孤独时，非但不会被人看不起，还会得到人们自愿的帮助。

有94%的男人希望自己的形象可以改变。一项研究表明，通常，男人的自尊心会与他的外在形象有直接的关系。瘦弱矮小的男人常常会认为自己很卑微，很容易变得意志消沉。

男人一般视自己为决策者，而不是倾听哭诉的对象。因此，一旦有人向他们吐露问题时，他们就会急忙给出建议。事实上，只要同情地去倾听就可以了。
