Checklist for Masculine Characters

• Be direct
• Be issue orientated
• Be analytical
• Act casual even during a serious conversation
• Interrupt
• Make statements
• Use short sentences

He will not:

• Ask a lot of questions

• Invite a ‘just talk’ situation
• Speak in euphemisms
• Use understatements
• Downplay his idea
• Let his sentence trail off
• Volunteer his reasons
• Hold eye contact for significant periods
• Say, “I’m sorry” unless he really means it.
• Tell stories about his failings
• Get bogged down in introspection or self-doubt
• Volunteer information about his feelings
• Ask about others’ feelings
• Ask for validation
