One of the saddest and most surprising findings to come out of my interviews of 527 Men is the hard fact that only 3% (15 men) would be willing to die for the woman they loved. In most cases as I traveled the country and listen to men describe their most intimate feelings about women and relationships, I did not have to ask many questions. The men immediately opened up to me...must be my innocent face! But there was one question I did ask all the men: Would you be willing to die for the woman you love(d)?
Often, men would have a problem understanding the question. I would give them an example: You and your wife are in a small plane. The plane is going down. There is only one parachute. Who gets it?
The guys would look around to be sure no one was listening. They would confirm my promise to not use their names or identities and then they would answer that they would take the chute. They would explain how their wives had no goals...where as they still had things to accomplish with their lives. I came to realize that the majority of men: 1. See goals as the value of a human being and 2. They chose not to apply any value to their wife's goals.Only 15 men out of 527 would be willing, when directly confronted, to lay down their lives for the woman they loved. We all know it would be drastically different if I asked the same question of women. I think! :)
