How Men Communicate: Tough Guys And "Iron Johns"

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].

Bald Men: More Likely To Be Seen As Leaders.

Read - Bald Men Are More Likely To Be Seen As Leaders

Those who once suffered ostracism at being "shiny," "thin on top,"or just plain baldies are now at the crest of their true magnificence. Men who shave their heads or buzz cut them in the extreme are increasingly being viewed as more masculine, more decisive, stronger and more likely able to lead than their Justin Bieberated counterparts. It's a cultural and business paradigm shift that actually makes a great deal of logical sense.

So gentlemen - You may now BE BALD AND BE BOLD.
