I read so much about men who aren't what they seem, and particularly stories written by women who found out their husbands had a slew of secrets they knew nothing about.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men with secrets tend to be drawn to each other, not because they want to share what they know but because they need the company of the like-minded, the fellow afflicted.
Men are not supposed to be mysterious. That's what you say about women. But I think men can have a little of it, too.
Three of my novels and a good number of my short stories are told from the point of view of men. I was brought up in a house of women.
That women are mysterious and unknowable is something every young man grows up believing. Men, on the other hand, never think of themselves as mysterious or confusing, and we are often at a loss as to why women want to figure us out.
The characters that I'm typically drawn to are sensitive men who are experiencing some sense of identity crisis or growth in their life that they don't know how to overcome.
I think there are so many books out there written on relationships and romance that women are the authors of. How can women know exactly how men think? And there are so many guys out there with relationship books who are just not telling the truth. They have shaded parts.
Inconsistencies in men are generally testimony to their immaturity.
I think at this stage in my life I have learned that there are any number of things that men will never know, and can never hope to know, about women.
There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.
Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.
