Why are men mean?

From the environment we have the testosterone factor. The amount of testosterone we are exposed to in the womb has a lot to do with our emotions. People who had higher levels of testosterone have less empathy. This is not limited to men while we are in the womb, but after we are born men have more testosterone and this leads them to have less empathy than woman. Cultural factors play in as well. It is more acceptable for men to be mean.

Men are lonesome creatures, they are taught to deal with their problems on their own. Their instinct in difficult times is to get away from everything to get a clearer view... Women often misinterpret that and try to hold them back... by playing the guilt game, the blame game....
Nothing is more agressive then a man who feels trapped... hence they can get very, very mean in this situation. Just trust a man with his freedom.
