Men communicate, confide, bond and emote differently than women do. Part of this is as a result of nature (neurochemistry and time-honed genetic sex-linked adaptations that assist men in mating and fighting), and part of it is a generations-old [back to the most primitive times] role that has been handed down from father to son and reinforced by society.
Speaking statistically, many men feel obligated to emulate the "Iron John" stereotype: A powerful, self-reliant, quiet tower of strength who does not cry, who keeps his secrets well-hidden, does not need to confide, stays calm and rational in a crisis, and tends to communicate more with eyes or body language than with deep discussion.
My friend Jay Goldberg (author, teacher, business plan expert and legendary beer drinker in sports bars whenever he gets some spare change and a good game is on large-screen television) sent me this terrific video clip taken from the TV show "Family Guy" which absolutely hits the middle-aged "manly men " stereotype right on the head [no jokes please].
