| Talk to any guys about how they view the world, and their opinions on everything - observe guys and how they act. Basically real people is where you are going to get your best information from. |

| And just talk to guys. I can't see many of the guys I know giving you deep, meaningful insites into themselves and their minds ... at least not without giving you funny looks and telling everyone that you're strange. But if you just talk to them and observe them you could work things out. |

| Hmmmm.... My friend Tyler might let me interview him. He's a good candidate. And everybody already knows I'm strange, so I'm not worried about that. |

Another thought:
There are a lot of guys on the YWS who keep regular blogs. Maybe check those out too if you need a bit more insight.  |

It definately helps if you've got a lot of male friends, but then a lot of my female friends (including me) are quite tomboyish anyway.
Blogs have gotta be a good idea. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of guys tend to swear more, in blogs and just generally. Though, of course, this isn't true of all guys.
Maybe another thing you could try is to read something (stories etc.) from a male's POV, also written by a male. That could work.
Good luck!
