my take on this... men are not attention whores, well there are some. we are discreet with our emotions (we have, in case you dont know...hehe) and we dont want other people meddling on it... but then again, there's some.

now that you're asking why they are few male doing personal blogging, it's so precious to know that there are still some guys doing it. and there's no better way to appreciate one but to give "the most coveted Featured Blogger of the Month" award over at 20sb with the same specie... just saying..

I saw that Technorati thing, and I've been thinking this about personal blogging and men for quite a while. I'm starting to see more men join 20SB, which I think is a sign that it's catching on more, but the disparity is huge at this point.

I'm with you both on this one. One of the main reasons why I blog and why I have for so long is that I can't not write.
I just can't. It's my outlet, always has been. And as I continue to sharpen my voice and chisel out my corner, I'm having a blast toying with different ways to do that.
But it always comes down to the fact that I write because I want to write.

nah. while i've been known to misread many, many other things, i'm
generally pretty good at knowing when people are being genuinely sincere. i
wouldn't have mentioned it if i didn't believe in the words being written by
all of you.

and you're easy to compliment :)

I couldn't agree more. I've always tried to give some balance to the
content here, because relationships make great stories, but my mind will
wonder to things like tech and pop culture. I know my favorite bloggers,
guys in fact, tend to do the same. Some sport, some politics, and some
killer life relations that make me partial to them as people.

That's incredibly thoughtful. Really. I hadn't thought of the 'reward'
system approach to male behavior. Gravitation towards experts...that
absolutely does happen. Look at all the compliments you'll find in expert's
comment sections.
