A few things I've learned about men...

1. Men like to win. They care whether their teams win or lose in preseason, they care about winning meaningless pickup ball games, they care about winning at Scrabble, they need to win debates, and games of logic. Winning even translates into their relationships. Men date women who make them feel like they've won. I don't know what they've actually "won" but for some strange reason, certain women can make men feel they're on top and certain women cannot. Not to say that winning versus losing is a bad thing. Its just that women don't care about it like men do.

2. Men like their space. Emotional space. Physical space. Time (space). Of course this is not always the case but while women can compromise their space for unwanted "girltalk" or a cramp 3-hour car ride without complaining, men can't seem to compromise their space for anything.

3. Men like ESPN. They like watching games, and then hours of commentary on those games, and then commentary on the commentary of those games. It's obvious that men like ESPN but not until recently have I realized that men really like it.
