I was perusing the 'net, trying to refresh my memory on *ahem* certain aspects of males (what can I say? It's been a while) and I found this site:

http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/vines/3951/humalesexpsy.html

I think it's pretty interesting, well-written, and it gives a view of the male/female relationship pretty uniquely. It certainly gives the male perspective well, and might be of value for those of us seeking to write about the guys and how they treat women, as well as their own view of themselves.

Addition:

Found this as well:

If you want to see how writers' visions of the guys matches reality (including the show's writers) - this is *great*.

oh I've added to my memories... I might need this for A Beautiful Lie
Don't panic, it's not going to be a *romance* but it might be good from Face's POV on some things. I might get a better understanding. Will read in more depth later ;o)

I think that's why I found it so interesting - it gave some insights from not only the male perspective, but the whole socio scene as well.

Yeah...been one of those mornings. But you should see chapter 10 so far (EG)

The second one looks interesting (and is by an actual academic) but the first one didn't appeal to me much. Reminded me of Rousseau. I'm more on the evolutionary psychology side myself. And a couple of things just made me go "that's bollocks!" :D

Yeah, his comments on feminism left me a bit cold - although I could see it in terms of the femi-nazis ;-) I think it's an interesting combination of biology, sociology and male judgment. I do wish I knew who the author actually was, because then I could find out more about him and his credentials. But if you go to the home page, he's also got a little blue flag there for the freedom of the internet, or some such - one of the premises of that "organization" is the right to post anonymously. (shakes head) But, it does give an interesting perspective, for whatever it's worth ;-)

Oh, forgot all about commenting on the second (shees)

That one was definitely interesting, particularly when thinking back on some of the "paradoxical" behavior of the guys - do they like each other, or just tolerate each other, or...? And then add Murdock to the mix - he's not "one of them", and yet he is. Do they treat him the way they do (as individuals) because they think of him as a real member, or is he like the native friendlies in Nam - to be used, either as a punching bag or an ally, depending on their own need?

Oh my. My head's swimming now...
