Do You Know Of Any Men That Write Daily Diaries?

I can't see where gender would enter into it at all, wolfie. Everyone has feelings, male and female, so it doesn't seem odd to me at all that a man would want to put their feelings down on paper. Keeping a diary or journal is probably the best way to get a handle on what is going on in one's life. It's no different than a man who writes for a living. Writing is good for the soul no matter who does the writing.

I do a couple of men who write diaries. Both of them are single. One a writer in his own right and another just a normal person but sort of introvert. I think, when I write, I do it to let go a lot of frustrations and that could well be true with them. I really appreciate that you keep diaries. It's better to write it real than to store it in computer. And Wolfie, we are living in an era where writing personal diary is on the verge of extinction. I would appreciate anyone who would write it. Thanks.

it's been my experience that this is a girl type thing to do. It's usually pre teen and young teens who write diaries because of all the strange things happening to them, their minds and bodies being so affected by raging hormones. Quite often they can't express themselves or talk to anyone about the things that are happening to them so they keep a diary. However, thinking about it I don't necessarily think it's a girl only thing. Journals are kept by people everyday in all walks of life for various reasons. I guess I was thinking only of my own experience of journal writing. If I think about it, it's mainly men who have kept journals...ship's captains with their ship's log, scientists other researchers, novelists and so on and these have predominantly been male.

I think men who writes diaries are pretty extraordinary. Why? because it would make them more expressive and not just bottle up those feelings and thoughts. I think those kind of men also understand themselves better and more introspective. They are the type that is just so in touch with their inner self that they won't be afraid to express themselves and won't clam up when women start talking about feelings and all. I know someone who writes diaries. He is one of my subordinates who actually got suspended once because he was caught writing something on his diary at our stockroom. I was very irritated with him at that time because he couldn't wait to get home and write on his diary but he told me that he wanted to write something at that moment and not later because he might forget it. Though I kind of found it weird. he he he! But still I look at him differently now and I notice how he seem to know himself better, more confident, more in touch and more expressive. I guess men don't normally write diaries because by nature they are not that expressive and just keeps things to themselves but there are just few out there who are exceptions.

Hello wolfie. I think that it is a personal habit to write or not to write diaries. But it seems that many of my friends have their blogs or QQ space where they write down what they think and experience for others to read. It seems to me that they are some kind of open diaries.

I think you're right. Writing in a diary has always been considered a feminine thing to do. Mainly, as you say, women are more open about their feelings. If I had a boyfriend whom I found wrote in a diary daily I would think, "Wow! What a forward thinking man"! It would let me know that he's not afraid of his feelings and that he's more in tune to his feelings. I would love such a man................... By the way......... What are you doing for lunch? LOL! Have a great day wolfie! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I do not know any active male writers of diaries at this time. I know that my grandfather kept a day book. It was not about personal things, but it told what the daily weather was, and the price of supplies he bought. Later, when he retired to a small farm, how many cows he had or what crops were doing well.I think it benefits any one to get their feelings out one way or another. I do not really keep a diary. I have in the past written journals for brief periods of time. It is really neat to find them and revisit the times. Even if those times were bad, we can revisit them and see how they can turn out for good. It gives perspective, whether you are male or female. It is a good thing.

I've kept a diary for many years. I use it to remind myself of things that I need to do and of things that I have done. It's a sort of extension of my not very reliable memory, so it's more like a businessmans desk diary than a personal journal in which I write my innermost secrets. Those stay innermost where they really are secret.

honestly, no. i don't know of any men who keep a diary. it must be because doing so is a girl thing. or so most women think.as for me, who is a girl by the way, i never tried keeping a diary just because i'm afraid someone will find it and use it against me (black mail or something).haha. i also want to remain mysterious, even to myself at times. but i keep an organizer or daily planner where i write down the things that i did at the end of the day, and not the things i planned to do for that day. weird, but i'm like that. i want to be unpredictable and adventurous in dealing with life.

Well,whatever male and female,we are all human beings.Writing diaries is the thing that only human beings can do,then what does it matter whether a man or a woman do it,no matter which gender we are ,we should be proud of that we can write diaries,it really has nothing to do with the gender,it's a stupid thinking . lol
