ABOUT MEN
God created men
Men are different from Woman
God created men and woman both to have different strength's and weakness to help support each other in the pursuit of life and serving God.
Men are different physically, emotionally, and mentally.
On average, Men have 40% more muscle mass than woman.
Men have more red blood cells and less white cells than woman do.
Men's brains are wired up differently, we think differently than woman do.
Men tend to focus on objects, problem solving, logic; while woman tend focus more on people, relationships, feelings.
God created us different for a reason. God has shown me 5 of those reason and they are;
to be Builders, Defenders, Explorers, Passionate, and Sensitive.
Men are Builders
God created men to build. To build houses, villages, cities, countries, etc.
We can see that in trade work, and the way men like to make things at home. Men like to fix things, to tinker, to potter, to improve things. Men are normally objective, problem focus rather than relationship, emotional focus.
Men are Defenders
God created men to Defend. To protect what God has created, to protect their family, community, and country. We see this desire triggered when there is a threat. Ask any man if they would die protecting their family and they would always say yes. Why do you think men put up their hands to fight in wars when they see innocent people getting killed, especially if it is against their own country.
Men are Explorers
God create men to be curious and take risks, to explore. This is to help men explore the earth and find new things. This is also the area we test ourselves, push the boundaries, climb trees as kids, etc.
Men are Passionate
God gave men a desire to want a bigger purpose and meaning in their life other than themselves and their family. This may be hard for some to hear, but if men don't find something more to do with their lives other than just their family, they tend to become bored or depressed, leading to a mid life crisis.
Men need to find something to be passionate about, to feel they are part of something bigger than themselves, part of finding purpose.
Men are Sensitive
God gave emotions to men too, believe or not, although most men don't want to admit it.
Men do get hurt, but they tend to shut it away, bottle it up, build walls, defend and isolate themselves, hardening their hearts.
Men's mental health
Men are committing suicide 2.5 times more than woman, as they tend to hold things in more so than woman, not wanting to show their vulnerabilities, ie as defender's.
The mental health sector is run mainly by woman, and as such can create a feminine counselling culture that misunderstands men at times, putting them off from seeking help.
Also the way society has gone tends to acknowledge and promote famine qualities and shuns masculine qualities these days, leaving men confused and feeling ashamed of their masculinity when they don't need to be. Well, true Masculinity that God has intended.
Men and woman are different, and as such I believe we need to approach men differently as we do woman.
