Great question & answers. I grew up with two younger brothers so have been around males! Also, my mom had 3 brothers & my dad had 3 brothers! Males were around!! My uncles were all big teasers so I give back as good as I get!! It is self-defense!!
Carly, Happy Hanukkah. :love2:

Thank you for such great answers. I just realized that the book that I was reading last week - which was an anthology with four authors in it - had one story that really dragged for me. I couldn’t put a reason to it and thought it was my mood, but now when I think back it was the hero who just didn’t come across for me………..must be tired for not to have picked up on it before.

You are all such great writers, and you each have heroes to die for……..LOL………thanks for everything.

:love2:Carly, I sure have one of these:
“Real men don’t apologize or ask questions/permission.”

Leslie, these sure make sense to me:
Heroes don’t whine. They don’t jabber. They don’t talk about their feelings until forced to, they think about sex a lot, and they speak differently to other men than they do the heroine.

Julie,” I hope I do a good job.”
I’ve never been disappointed.

Janelle, :love2:”However, when I do slip up, Carly, who reads my stuff, is quick to point it out and has no problem telling me when my hero sounds like a sissy! ”
I can’t even imagine you slipping up. However if that happens you have a the right person, Carly, for the friendly heads up.

:love2:Thank-you all for answering my question. :love2:
I hope you all have wonderful Holidays.
Thank you for bringing such wonderful romantic visions and stories into my life.
:lightbulb:Happy Hanukkah:lightbulb: Carly.:love2:

Hugs and prayers,

Thanks so much these were great answers. I so respect all of you and your ability to entertain my reading obsession with with such realistic
stories. I just knew your answers would be interesting. I had always wondered.

Jodie- My hubby says lovely (or things like it) very sarcastically. Cracks me up when he does. Of course, he is from a very different generation (more like 2) than I am, so we sometimes butt heads. :thumbsup2:

I also agree with Jodie- reading a book where the pov is off kilter just makes it a horrible read. But they make great missles going into the “drop it off at the library” box!!

Have a great weekend everyone and Carly- Happy Hanakkuah!! We are heading to the big city tomorrow for a Hanakkuah party at the kid’s place. Should be fun- as usual, we are the only gentiles there!! But I love seeing the new friends we have made over the years. Any excuse for a party and get together I say!!

That is a great question. I’m reading a book now that has a lot of things in it that I just don’t think a guy would say or think - like when he told her something was “lovely” (yak). It’s made it difficult to get through the whole book but I’m persevering. As someone who hopes to someday write, I’m looking at it as a learning experience and this question was at a great time to reinforce what I’m seeing in that book.

Thanks! Have a great weekend.

I think you girls have the gist of what a man ought to say and do.
Carly I like the part “I just would never let my men use ” I like that you think of them as your men. At least you do share them with us.

I also think real men ‘do say I’m sorry’. It might take a bit of doing but they do say it.:doggie:

Julie, it looks like you had so many years of the ‘male’ experience. It is good that you found a place to use all your knowlege.

And Leslie I wish I was more like you ,but I don’t hog the remote I usually toss it to my DH or one of the kids. I know I’m sad, but that is when I grab a book and start reading.:doggie::doggie:
