Guy talk. (Opinion Pulse).

Men are happy with their lives, their marriages, and their families. Job satisfaction is high, too. Sixty-six percent of men compared to 94 percent of women expect their partner to work for pay. Women say men spend, more time working for pay and commuting than they do. Men are doing more at home than in the past, although their contributions lag behind women's. Ninety percent of men are satisfied with their physical appearance. Only small numbers of men say they have "fallen short" in terms of their expectations about life. A third say they have fallen short in terms of the amount of money they earn.
