The three basic mindsets of men.

[Brain Candy]

"The world may be explained in sociological terms. David Riesman describes three basic social personalities in The Lonely Crowd. 'Other-directed' people pattern their behavior on what their peers expect of them. Suburban America's men in gray-flannel suits are other-directed. 'Inner-directed' people are guided by what they have been trained to expect of themselves. [General Douglas] MacArthur was inner-directed. The third type, the 'tradition-directed,' has not been seen in the West since the Middle Ages. Tradition-directed people hardly think of themselves as individuals; their conduct is determined by folk rituals handed down from the past."

~ American Caesar, by William Manchester, p. 537

Nice words.

In the end most men usually need the following:

Loose shoes, a warm place to have a crap, a decent meal once in a while, get laid about 3.7689 tims a week/month or whatever, and some excess money.

Add that to a position providing power or prestige and 99% of males are usually quite content.

Give the ladies basically the same and life can be good.

There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.
