This, that, and the other thing

I am forever plagued by my inablity to write believable male characters. Matt Sleadd was helping me with this, years and years ago, but I still can't seem to get it right; the best I can do is write men from an imperfect-narrator female perspective. Anyone got any useful advice?

Lyrics of Today:

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - "Night Moves"
We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime

And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in
