Church, anymen?

Okay, guys. I have been noticing for some time the difference in the number of women vs men in attendance at church. I recently found a book that shows me this is an epidemic, not just with my church (of christ), but all across the US in all Christian denominations, including "non-denominations". This past Sunday, it was overwhelmingly evident. I know, we had a bunch of guys away for the holiday weekend, with their families...but even a couple of the teenagers brought it up in conversation with me. Aryn--Tater's fav daughter--brought it up to me first. Here's the question. MEN, what is it that you want to happen/see/hear/experience/do at church so that you'll actually like being there? Do some surveying before you post, post multiple times if you think of something else, encourage others to post-even if only this once.

    this is a question that has a multitude of answers...me being a man who attends church very consistently I can only act as an observer. I think it boils down to responsibility and integrity. If a man commits to God the way he should then he has to remain committed in his mind....take a sports analogy. If a man is committed to his team...he does not waver...not ever. A commitment to God....most men will not make it because they know they will waver.
