Me? I don't believe a word of it because I have known too many he-men that brought lots of girls into the world and also men that fathered only boys and were less than he-men.

Sex of the baby has more to do with the woman anyway.

but I do wonder if living with only females has anything to do with the development of personality, problem solving, and people managing skills.

Ahh... well, as my father, who has 3 daughters, said, "It takes a tough man to raise girls."

Jimmy Carter's 4 children are:
John William Carter
James Earl Carter III
Donnel Jeffrey Carter
Amy Lynn Carter

I beelieve 3 are male. Most of us in Georgia don't claim ole Jimmy though.

One of my favorite lines in a movie was in "Fight Club" when the two guys were after the same woman.

"...we are a generation of men raised by women...I'm not sure the answer is another woman."

Of course I don't believe the manly man theory but I do wonder if living with only females has anything to do with the development of personality, problem solving, and people managing skills.

Living with a wife and two daughters certainly did a number on my personality. Probably for the better. I try to get my way from time to time, but the only other male backup I have is Lucky Taco the wiener dog, and he's usually smart enough to stay out of it.

My grandpa, between two marrages fathered 11 daughters and 5 sons!! He died young, about 66. He also raised a step son for a total of 17! Dad was the oldest of 10 from his secound wife. Grandma was a widow with a son, grandpa lost his first wife with 6. so it was like 6,+ 1 + 10 = 17! Brith dates went 1898 to 1934. I belive grandma was 46 when the youngest was born. Grandpa was 58 when the youngest was born.

The same story goes on to suggest that men that produce only girls...

I thought women were generally responsible for most of the "production" work...?

As one with 2 grown daughters Amen to that!

I was going through my divorice and fighting for my daughter. A old man I knew took me aside and advised me. He said he also had a wife that ran off many years ago. He said he raised 3 daughters by himself, and thought I "should rethink that"! He said he would rather raise 6 sons than one daughter!
