I hope this one doesn't offend anyone, but I am curious, is it just me or are there others who find that certain men (cough) are very moody? when I say moody I mean, pouty, always want their own way, and do not fight fair?
The typical american male does not fight the same way a turkish male does. and I am curious about it. Is it the upbringing of males in turkey? or is it just that they are more emotional so to speak - something american males just aren't very good with. Now that I have confused everyone .. including myself .. I will click the send button and see what happens ..

Yes, it's not just you! Men in general are moody a lot - it's because of their hormones (ex: viney). Of course it's not just Turkish males, though Turkish males show it differently (but also Turkish females are much more 'emotional' then American females). In general, I like the fact that Turkish males are more emotionally expressive then American males, I think it makes them mentally healthier and less passive-aggressive.
I wouldn't just say pouty and don't fight fair, but also just plain moody.

I disagree with you both. I think there are some people who are moody and some who are not. I don't think it has anything to do with male/female or turkish/non-turkish. I think temperment is something that is hardwired into your brain regardless of where or who you are. I know my husband is always very mellow and almost never looses his temper or gets upset. Me, on the other hand -lets just say I am the opposite.

I didn't say anything contradictory to what you said, however - it is important to realize that men show their moodiness slightly differently then women do - in more socially acceptable ways. If you take it into account, men and women are moody to very similar extents.

I agree with you of course, that everyone is moody to a different and individual degree. But I am glad to hear that men also may have hormones which affect them! Instead of this being always only attributed to women...

Men have hormones???? OMG say it isn't so!!!
I had to let that one out!! Yes turkish men appear to be more emotional and yes I believe it makes them more emotionally stable - I think .. but they don't fight fair!!!

Hey, you are giving me much more credit than I deserve! I'm not a 'specialist', I just know more about men than I know about cars (which is zero)...!

But femme, I think you are the right person to start a course of several lessons about 'men and their behaviour'. I think you'll be a wonderful teacher!!! lol

We can call her class, "The Truth about Men". We can have beginner, intermediate and advanced classes! I don't think I would pass though but it would be fun to watch. Femme - I need help...I still love men so!
