> I am just noticing and observing, that all of us here who continue to babble are all women. How come nobody here is a male?
We do get some guys over here. Damos comes here sometimes. And Broken. And Toph.
But yeah, mostly women over here. I've noticed that too.
> I am asking this question mainly becuase, if men are not into psychology and emotions so much, why do they become therapists in the first place?Well, isn't it obvious? TO PICK UP WOMEN!!! Ha ha, I am kidding of course ;-)
I wonder if it has something to do with the issues that we tend to gravitate towards on the pscychology board. We tend to get pretty intense with attachment and erotic transference stuff etc etc. I wonder if that tends to be less of a problem for guys? Or if guys tend to do better with something like CBT which is more problem focused rather than more reflective. I mean - a tendancy rather than a general rule.
I'm not sure. I'd be interested to hear from guys, though.
