My father didn't drink, but my mom always wished he would've had a job that didn't require him to be away so much. What I find to be interesting though is my brother grew up in the same household and he turned out to be the typical male, unlike me. He has a wife and kid, likes sports, has grown a beard, doesn't care for animals and he enjoys spending time with the guys. I suppose this reinforces the idea of nature having a significant role in the development of one's gender identity.

In regards to your couple's joke, no it didn't creep me out. (I found it to be very amusing.) This is one of the reasons why I really enjoy having substantive conversations with you and others on this board. It allows us to learn and understand the kind of person others are, even though we haven't met in person.

Yeah, my younger brother is definitely male in every way. We don't relate at all, then again he was too young to remember what a piece of shit our dad was back then. He cleaned up later on and was alright. Kinda.....

But yeah I agree nature over nurture....but both play a role in shaping who we are as individuals.

Btw, "I found it to be very amusing" made me giggle. You're just so serious, how can I not tease you?
