I'm writing a story {A Broken Life} which is in first person from a girl's perspective. I wanted to write some clips of it from another character's perspective, one being a guy. Since I'm not a guy I don't know how they think or how their mind works. So I was hoping that some people would have some suggestions or possibly are guys and can give me a little insight. Thanks!  |

They don't speak fancy. Short, or small compound sentences. They don't think about every detail perfectly, and don't plan very much. They just go with the flow...

Ok, but what about older guys? Aren't they wiser when they're older?

They might recall about how to deal with a situation by remembering what happened last time. They think a little more, maybe recall past events. Mature and apreciate what they have. Confident and doesn't bring down others. Isn't petty.

Whoa, you know a lot about how they think. A little creepy in a way but cool. Thanks so much! I think this will definitely help me get inside this character's head.  |

That would do it. The only guy friend I have is going to be a theater major (he's not gay, though, lol), so he doesn't count.  |

Yeah. So he acts? Or does he do the stage set-up and behind the scenes?

He acts. He's also a ventriloquist, and a magician, and an amazing singer. And he designs sets and lighting. So yeah... He's your all-around theater guy. He's going to major in theater to act, though. Lol.

Yeah. He's a talented guy. What makes him a good person is that he's pretty humble about it. He gets embarassed when people point out how good he is. Yeah, he brags sometimes... But not too much, and he's got bragging rights, after all. Lol.
