Men Are Not From Mars . . .

They are from Earth. They are born into the same world as women, albeit from a different perspective. They have needs, they have wants and they have desires. Men also have fears, talents, drive, flaws and willpower. They have weaknesses too.

Like women, men also respond to marketing, technology and explanations that are geared towards them. Men don’t want to look better; they want to look stronger. Men don’t want to look younger; they want to feel younger. Men don’t want to get into their emotional well being or stability; they want to have fun. They don’t want to talk about their problems; they want to hang out with the guys and shoot the bull.

Is there anything wrong with their choices versus our choices? Our being rather subjective since I am a woman – no – there’s nothing wrong with their choices. When a guy looks stronger, he’s more in control of his life. He’s in shape, he’s fit and he’s exercising regularly.

When a man feels younger, he is enjoying his life. He has good stress reducers in place and he’s likely got a good relationship with his family. He is more likely spending quality time with the people that matter and he’s feeling in control of his life or at least satisfied with where his life is.

When a man is having fun, he feels strong, personally empowered and he’s in a good place in his life. He shoots hoops, plays ball or hangs out with the guys on a regular enough basis that he’s got a good support structure. He likely enjoys time out with the wife on a regular basis and he’s got a good relationship with his family.

You see, a man’s fitness is measured on a different personal scale than a woman’s. In the long run – it means the same – better fitness, better health and ultimately, a better life and lifestyle.
