Many women dream of a real man, hero and defender, who, if necessary, will turn mountains for their sake. He must also understand flowers and women's perfume so as not to make a mistake with a gift, predict when a lady has a headache, and be ready to endlessly discuss her complex relationships with colleagues - just like the best girlfriend. However, real men rarely combine incompatible qualities. And they are also harsh, secretive, but at the same time simple. From this book, you'll learn what men, young and experienced, married and committed bachelors, really think about love, sex and "masculine" responsibilities. You will get acquainted with the history of the institution of marriage, from ancient times to the 21st century. And on the example of real families, you will see whether a fair distribution of responsibilities for home and childcare is possible.
