When our sons were in middle school, a friend--the father of twin girls--told me that all the girls in school loved our boys because they were SNAGs--sensitive new-age guys. My theory about why: they could see how I treated and respected their mom and my mom, and downloaded the message. Now, that our boys have grown into men, we have received thank-you notes from their girlfriends for raising just the right kinds of men. Yes I’m bragging about them, but with good reason given the Elliot Rogerss of the world. Thank you for the jerk-proofing tips. I only hope they sink in societally.
I only have a daughter so I can’t speak to this. Recently a dear friend of mine’s second son in junior high has been exhibiting a lot of anger at home. Neither her eldest son or brothers ever acted this way and it’s getting to her. I will share all this with her as I know she will find it useful.

Brag away! Getting thank you notes from their girlfriends is definitely a sign those boys are something special.
