Ok, here's a guy test I found along with the seminar stuff:

Are You a Real Guy? (by Dave Barry)
Take This Scientific Quiz to Determine Your Guyness Quotient

1. Alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the Earth,
and you are the first human they encounter. As a token of intergalactic friendship,
they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable
of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out
hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over
the entire Earth. You decide to:
a. Present it to the president of the United States.
b. Present it to the secretary general of the United Nations.
c. Take it apart.

2. As you grow older, what lost quality of your youthful life do
you miss the most?
a. Innocence.
b. Idealism.
c. Cherry bombs.

3. When is it okay to kiss another male?
a. When you wish to display simple and pure affection without
regard for narrow-minded social conventions.
b. When he is the pope. (Not on the lips.)
c. When he is your brother and you are Al Pacino and this is the only really sportsmanlike
way to let him know that, for business reasons, you have to have him killed.

4. What about hugging another male?
a. If he's your father and at least one of you has a fatal disease.
b. If you're performing the Heimlich maneuver. (And even in this case, you
should repeatedly shout: "I am just dislodging food trapped in this male's
trachea! I am not in any way aroused!")
c. If you're a professional baseball player and a teammate hits a home run to
win the World Series, you may hug him provided that (1) He is legally within
the basepath, (2) Both of you are wearing protective cups, and (3) You also
pound him fraternally with your fist hard enough to cause fractures.

5. Complete this sentence: A funeral is a good time to...
a. ...remember the deceased and console his loved ones.
b. ...reflect upon the fleeting transience of earthly life.
c. ...tell the joke about the guy who has Alzheimer's disease and cancer.

6. In your opinion, the ideal pet is:
a. A cat.
b. A dog.
c. A dog that eats cats.

7. You have been seeing a woman for several years. She's attractive and intelligent, and you always
enjoy being with her. One leisurely Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy-- you're
watching a football game; she's reading the papers--when she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky,
tells you that she thinks she really loves you, but she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not
knowing where your relationship is going. She says she's not asking whether you want to get married;
only whether you believe that you have some kind of future together. What do you say?
a. That you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future, but you
don't want to rush it.
b. That although you also have strong feelings for her, you cannot honestly say
that you'll be ready anytime soon to make a lasting commitment, and you don't
want to hurt her by holding out false hope.
c. That you cannot believe the Jets called a draw play on third and seventeen.

8. Okay, so you have decided that you truly love a woman and you want to spend the rest of your life
with her-sharing the joys and the sorrows, the triumphs and the tragedies, and all the adventures
and opportunities that the world has to offer, come what may. How do you tell her?
a. You take her to a nice restaurant and tell her after dinner.
b. You take her for a walk on a moonlit beach, and you say her name, and when she turns to you, with
the sea breeze blowing her hair and the stars in her eyes, you tell her.
c. Tell her what?

9. One weekday morning your wife wakes up feeling ill and asks you to get your three children ready
for school. Your first question to her is:
a. "Do they need to eat or anything?"
b. "They're in school already?"
c. "There are three of them?"

10. When is it okay to throw away a set of veteran underwear?
a. When it has turned the color of a dead whale and developed new holes so large
that you're not sure which ones were originally intended for your legs.
b. When it is down to eight loosely connected underwear molecules and has to be handled with tweezers.
c. It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy checks the
garbage regularly in case somebody--and we are not naming names, but this
would be his wife; is quietly trying to discard his underwear, which she is
frankly jealous of, because the guy seems to have a more intimate
relationship with it than with her.

11. What, in your opinion, is the most reasonable explanation for the fact that Moses led the
Israelites all over the place for forty years before they finally got to the Promised Land?
a. He was being tested.
b. He wanted them to really appreciate the Promised Land when they finally got there.
c. He refused to ask directions.

12. What is the human race's single greatest achievement?
a. Democracy.
b. Religion.
c. Remote control.

How to Score:

Give yourself one point for every time you picked answer "c." A real guy would score at
least 10 on this test. In fact, a real guy would score at least 15, because he would get
the special five-point bonus for knowing the joke about the guy who has Alzheimer's
disease and cancer.

During a birthday party for a neighbor (a 13 yr old girl), Our Son was out number by pre-pubescent girls 15:1. After listening to the girls for at least 30 minutes, His comment to me:

"Dad, why are girls so confusing?"

Now I am one that prides himself at being able to solve the toughest problems, tackle any argurment, apply logic and reason in every instance, the only thing I could say was...

"Whatda say you come outside and watch me smake a cigar with the other Dads. I won't be able to answer your question but you'll get a chance to fart and spit as much as you want."

The girls were still confusing but we had a great time.
