Hugh McLauchlan, 45, Dundee, printer: "I don't think anything is wrong with Scottish men. We say what we mean, do as we please, which at times gets to some women. We haven't really changed much ... just public perceptions and expectations that have changed."

Matthew McKay, 62, Bonniebridge, taxi owner: "We tend to be a bit insular, and only seem to open up when we have a drink in us. We are slightly more open to being more stylish but we still have a lot to learn about the world."

Scott Curry, 17, Airdrie, call centre worker: "Scottish guys are not the same as they used to be. We're a lot more laid-back. I think we're a lot more considerate towards women now."

Margaret Adams, 45, Renfrew, department manager: "I think men can tend to be quite boring these days. I would say women are outdoing the men now, the roles are reversing and men don't like it."

Tiffany And Co Myra McKay, 59, Bonniebridge, administrator: "Men haven't changed at all, they have just pretended to change. I work with men of all ages and deep down they are all the same. It's women that have changed ... men don't like it and they never will."

John Fitzsimmons, 55, Maryhill, social carer: "We can be a bit arrogant and think we're better than others at times. There are a lot who are still slightly old-fashioned, like the woman's place is in the kitchen ... and the man's place is out killing the deer."

Wendy Fitzsimmons, 44, Burnbank in Hamilton, process worker: "Women won't put up with the old-fashioned man anymore. There should be more fairness between couples and I think men nowadays realise that."

Samantha Morrison, 25, Knightswood, waitress: "Men have the tendency to drink too much instead of talking and at times can be the same old, typical man. But I've Tiffany Jewelry On Sale been with the same person for 10 years, so they can't all be bad."

Alex MacDonald, 30, Mount Florida, project manager: "There is a poor image of Scottish men but I think misrepresentation has a lot to do with that. The good Scots are never publicised. There are some good Scots out there, like David Tennant or Paolo Nutini - we're not all football hooligans who drink too much."

Kara MacDonald, 30, Mount Florida, sales manager: "They eat too much, drink too much and have a bad sense of style. They don't have manners; they don't know how to behave. One thing I will say for them is they have a great sense of humour. Not all are the same, there's a glimmer of hope out there for women."

Ryan White, 20, Clydebank, call centre worker: "There's definitely a difference between older guys and younger guys, although maybe when I'm older I'll be grumpy too. There's not many 'hard men' type guys these days, Glasgow seems a lot more relaxed than it used to."

Dorothy Hargardon, 74, Bearsden, retired: "I don't Tiffany Necklace Frank-Gehry think there is anything wrong with Scottish men. They might not be open but they are much more dependable than men from other countries."
