Yes. Um, let me edit some of your post to illustrate the differences. The stuff in brackets regarding women is to be replaced with the stuff in boldface to understand guys.
We're just people, like you, trying to get through day to day life and the ups and downs it brings and hoping to generate a little [happiness] sex along the way.
Like [some] all guys there are some of us who for reasons unknown to me are shallow and selfish but [the vast majority] none of us aren't
We're [shy and] loud to cover up when we are insecure
We don't worry [just as much as you guys] about how to keep a relationship going and how to make our partner happy except insofar as it will get her to sleep with us.
A little advice for you all. Treat the [women] men in your life with [respect] continuous ego boosts like the [individual human beings] self centered louts that they are and you will get the best from them.
Now, given that the stuff in bold describes us, can you see how women, as you (quite accurately) describe them, are so alien to us?

I simply don't see the offence, yet it is obviously very profound. I have learned to make a mental note when my wife is getting her hair cut to make sure and say something when I get home. Learned that the hard way.

Point is, we are very different in some significant ways. It's not a matter of one being better than another anymore than one nationality being better than another. Just different.

Sorry to say, but you are so confused. You seem to be basing your judgement about men on one example of hatered of one/some of your male colleagues. I beg to differ with your views. To me this situation seems to be something about an inter-office politics, not a general men verses women thing.
