I love blogging. It’s awesome. I can chat to you, spilling the beans of my life as long as it’s amusing enough to gather readers. I can respond to your stuff, and link to whatever I find funny.
The last month I’ve figured out something, and it’s not bad. I rather find it pretty interesting. Men mostly talk about things they have. Women talk more about what they do. This leaves me in the middle. Out of the people I’ve subscribed to this month, most have been women – because most of them have the guts to participate for long periods of time.
I used to only talk about what I have, and what I’ve taken – but with NaBloPoMo has taught me something. People like to know who you are. Women are open to sharing this, and while I’ve been doing this for over a year I’ve been concerned about talking about my life. It just wasn’t comfortable.
I’m changing – but while I’m surrounded by people who love to share their lives, in one way or another, it takes me a while to adopt changes. Hell, I’m a guy – and I’m surrounded by women bloggers.
It’ll take time, but I’ll have fun doing it!
How this relates to hot – ehm… ehm… change is a… hot topic! Ok, walk away… Nothing to see here…
I think that is an interesting observation… I have seen a few exceptions, but I think you are pretty right on the mark… I am looking forward to observing the change…
I think what you said is very interesting. I noticed a huge difference between men and women bloggers. I thought the men’s blogs were quiet serious. Educative. Women were usually something fun. Entertaining. I did spend more time reading women’s blogs. They also want to connect at some level. I enjoyed the women’s blog a lot more.
I did enjoy your blog a lot though!
