Who Really Knows What A Man Is Thinking?

That's an interesting question. I know there are many people who go to school for years to become psychiatrists or psychologists so they can be known as an expert on what someone is thinking. Now while I don't claim to be one of those people (aka doctors), I do feel that I'm quite qualified to speak on the state of the male mind. Not because I'm very well educated but because I observe people, analyze their decisions, and ultimately because I've experienced quite a lot in my short 26 years on this earth.

It's humorous to me when I hear females say that they "know men". Well, really unless you're one of those few I spoke of earlier.....I'd like to inform you....you don't really know men! It's a difficult task to get into the head of a man because while men as a whole are very much alike.....we're all very different too! I guess what I'm getting at is that I've heard many many women voice their thoughts about what hurts a man's feelings, what a woman needs to do to get into man's heart, and how to really figure out a man's inner workings; so they don't actually need any help. I actually had one woman email me and blast me for writing an article in which I voiced my opinion on some things that women need to stop doing or start doing in order to save their relationships or find a new relationship. Her exact words were...."us women don't need a man telling us what we should or shouldn't be doing in order to be happy...what can a man actually help a woman with?" In response I hit her with, "it's sad that you feel that way....and the reason I say its sad is because of your pride. (I read some of your tweets), and you like a lot of women need assistance getting out of your own way. And besides, wouldn't it be better to get some insight into the male psyche instead of listening to your bitter girlfriends who are in the same situation as you and who likely want you to stay single since they are too? But what do I know?"

Bottom line....we all need each other to learn the opposite sex so we can navigate through this thing called life and find someone to share it with. So to answer the question posed earlier.....only someone who knows the true inner workings of the male brain and what drives/motivates them is capable of letting any woman know what her man or any man is really thinking.

Anyway, I'm taking questions about the male mind, or even if you need a guy's actions explained to you; I can do that for you through my email. Knourworth@hotmail.com or I can be contacted on Twitter at @JSmith2523.

Today's Doctor's Visit

My wife and I had a doctor's visit this morning to check on the progress of our baby. I'm happy to say that everything is going very well. The doctor said that the baby is growing and developing nicely and appears to be quite healthy. As of yesterday we are 6 1/2 months into the pregnancy and our baby (Javan) is about 14 inches long (from the crown of his head to his butt) and weighs just over 2 pounds.

To tell you the truth....I'm slightly nervous, but at the same time....extremely excited! Just knowing that there's a "mini-me" growing inside my wife ready to grace us with his presence in a few months puts a constant smile on my face! I know the whole process won't be easy, and there will be some times when we'll struggle....but overall, we'll be ok, including the fact that we have great friends and amazing family who'll be there to support us!

To see this little guy developing before my eyes, touches me very deeply and makes me wonder how anyone could ever walk away from their child who looks like them and even at times acts like them??? I keep thinking about 1 Timothy 5:8, where it says, "Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially those who are members of HIS household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith." I don't have all the answers, but I know.....I won't be that man!!!

Besides.....who could walk away from this face???
