2. They're extremely concerned about who's
in charge.
OK, as interesting facts about men go, this is
slightly less shocking. Boys start to feel the
need for a stable hierarchy from the tender age
of 6. Whenever there's an unstable or less clearly defined pecking order, they get anxious.
3. Men also undergo hormonal changes during
their wives' pregnancy.
One of the funny facts about men you would
not suspect: when their wives are expecting,
they too undergo hormonal changes.

testosterone levels drop during the term of
their wives' pregnancy.
4. Males become less competitive with age.

cooperation.
5. Kids benefit from daddy-play time.

children. They tease their kids, play a bit rough and tend to be more spontaneous.

6. Men are highly protective of their territory.
Interesting facts about men: men are particularly prone to violence when they perceive a threat to their territory or loved ones. While some researchers attribute this to high levels of testosterone, the cause behind such a behavior has yet to be established.
7. Men are programmed to check out women.
Interesting facts about men which men can
now invoke as an excuse: Men are programmed to check out female specimens.

the male brain's impulse-control centers,
making it difficult for them to repress ogling
impulses.
8. Males are natural problem solvers.
Men are sometimes criticized for lacking
empathy. In fact, their empathy is subordinated to the "problem-solving" centers of the male brain, which take control whenever there is a problem.
