| But if it earns me extra fencing time, I'll try anyway.

When you have learned these truths, you will transcend to true manhood and be ready for the rest of your life's activity.

If anything, some people become more selfish, pompous a***s who blame their kids for any (if not all) of their mistakes in life (pre- and post-childbearing). | |

Women don’t have that problem, so they are much more aware of their neurological response and focus on it.

Lest we forget, the forum is packed with young'uns who don't need to know this stuff yet. Maybe Craig can set up a *special* chat room...

However, my primary message in my post was that when a Man marries, he finds out that he is "wrong". The information may not be conveyed so succinctly as this, in fact the description and explanation may be verbose, but that is the bottom line. When that Man has kids, he finds out that he is more "wrong". In fact, the more kids he has, the less credibility he has.
