Not me, but my dh took it upon himself to learn about perimenopause (I’m early 40s, he’s mid) and he said it gave him an entirely new perspective. I’m really thankful he took that step so that he can start to understand.

This is really insightful of you. I wish more men understood this.

Men are simple beings. Don't treat them the way you treat your female friends. They thrive under certain conditions, but don't expect those conditions to be the same as they are for you. Keep things simple, defined, provide binary choices, etc. They do better. They also like to feel important. Let them think they are in charge sometimes. It's like dealing with your toddler. Easy when you do it right and very frustrating if you think that person is going to be able to keep up like your sister or BFF.

I agree.

However, men are inherently more prone to aggression more prone to violence, less caring etc. It's biology. We have evolved some but not so much that we can pretend that there aren't any difference in these traits between men and women.

Love, compassion and empathy do not necessarily mean the same things to men as they do to women.
