Men 'kinder and less macho' than women think they are

The poll noted that a mere 8% confessed that that they would feel less of a man if they were a stay-at-home dad

Contrary to the popular belief, a new survey has found that men are more kind hearted, less macho and more in touch with their inner feelings than women give them credit for.

The poll, commissioned by the organisers of 'Movember' campaign, noted that a mere 8% confessed that that they would feel less of a man if they were a stay-at-home dad.

Another 81% claimed that they would be ready to say 'I love you' to a male friend in a non-sexual way, Metro.co.uk reported.

While 50% respondents said that they would not feel comfortable discussing their sexual prowess with friends, nearly three-quarters asserted that they would feel comfortable talking to friends about depression or weight problems.

And 83% said that they were comfortable chatting to pals about what it took to be a good father.
