Men

Some men can be great fun
life and soul of any party
others are kind and tender
sheltering their loved ones

They come in all shapes and sizes
the outside packaging not mattering
it is what is inside that defines a man
making him either a saint or a sinner

Men can be very controlling
wanting everything their way
jealous of allowing any freedom
being insecure in themselves

A man who is steadfast and true
shares with his partner in all
now this type of man is a keeper
so be sure not to lose him

Vain conceited handsome men
will not see what is clear
too busy checking their appearance
to notice what is going on

How ever a man comes is moot
as once the heart is involved
you may as well throw away
the rule book as it is obsolete

Now you guys may not agree
so I will also relate that
women are all of the above
with added twists and turns

You could also accept that as
Eve was made from Adam's rib
women have a definite advantage 
when it comes to understanding men

Shadow, you have a grip on the matters at hand. Can't argue one whit with you about us men. The Adam's rib theory also rings pretty much true.

Certainly you know men and certainly men cannot understand women, although the word that names you WOMAN= Wif Of Man, tries to hide men's disadvantage. Ha-ha! Great work Shadow!
