We know growing up as a child in Ghana, your parents will tell you, men don’t cry, as if we are made of rock but the truth is we are as emotional as everyone else.


This is the reason why we grow up acting all tough and pretending we don’t really care about a lot of things but honestly we do but we never admit it.


1. We are emotional too.


It’s about time women stop telling us to shusshh!! because you’re a man, truth is, we are equally emotional as you are. We do cry over emotional movies too when we are alone and are touched by emotional things just like women do and oh! yes! we do cry too when we break up. We try to act all tough when we are in public and even if you ask us how we feel, we will say it is fine but most times, it really isn’t.

2. Complimenting a woman.


We find it difficult doing this but we will never admit we do and so when it happens, you should know it takes a lot of effort to get through with this.

3. Hanging out with girls.


You might think the only time we feel safe is when we hang out among ourselves but the fact is, men love to hang out with girls, why do you think tomboys are our favourite? It is not all the time that we just want to be by ourselves, we really love to hang out with women but we always pretend we don’t but the truth is, we do love to have you around.

4. We compliment each other.


Most women might think all we do is to fight each other.

5. We gossip too.


Well! Women might think gossiping is a girl’s thing but it will shock you to know that men even gossip more than women but in a very subtle way.but all the same, we do it.

6. We love shoes too.


We might always tease you when it comes to shoes and how you’re obsessed with it but truth is, we love shoes too just like women. Our shoes are much more expensive than women’s that’s why we don’t have much of i,t but when we have the money, we buy shoes and lots of it.

7. We are obsessed with our looks too.


We may not apply make-up on and spend all day standing in front of the mirror but we do care about our looks just like women do. We have manicures and pedicures from time to time and do go under the knife, so yeah! we care about our looks too.

8. We get very jealous.


Although we may never admit it, we do get jealous (a lot) and though we might tease women for being too jealous. Just as women get jealous of even their fellow women, men have similar jealous tendencies. The only difference is because we hide ours but inwardly we are really jealous beings.

9. We fantasise about your friends.


If we are dating a woman and she brings along her beautiful friends, to be honest, we fantasise about them and wish to have them too.

10. We tone our skin.


Most men will make noise about women who bleach their skin but truth is we do bleach too. The only reason why you don’t see many men bleaching their skin is because they are chastised by other men who frankly wish to bleach but society frown on them.
