Some thoughts about men!

I know I'm being provocative:

Men can know each other for five years and not disclose anything under the surface!
  • Men seldom share their fears, failures or vulnerabilities!
  • Women quickly share deep and inner secrets - 'girly' friendships that sometimes make husbands jealous!
  • Men seldom have five good friends over an entire lifetime
  • Men loathe to look into another man's eyes - they prefer to walk alongside another man!
  • Self-sufficiency and capability are at the heart of manhood
  • Fellowship for men is forged out of 'doing' and 'striving'
  • Few men would admit to a real need for authentic friendships
  • Interestingly ministry is generally directed at children, youth, women and seniors. What happens to the men?
How often when men are asked, "How are you?" will they say FINE - even if they are hurting inside?
FINE = Feeling Inadequate; Needing Encouragement! 

Does this ring any bells?
