Is it normal for man to keep a diary?

For quite a number of years I have kept a journal and I have been recording my life and experiences since 1992, and more so on daily bases since 2009. I think it is a good idea to keep some sort of record of how I lived and what I thought through the years and to remember, but also as a record for my children when they have grown up and I'm gone, they will know what their dad did when he was alive, I also did the family history. I find that it is women who would usually do this so I ask is it normal for a man to do it?

    Keeping a journal is good for the mind.

    I'm a guy & write in a journal. I have one personal journal, and a journal I'm writing for my daughter.
    Honestly, it's probably not normal, but I don't think that there is anything wrong with it. In fact, I view it as healthy and interesting.

      I do not agree with you are saying that it's probably not normal. I think it is very normal! How can it be normal for woman and not for a guy? That does not make sense at all!

        Because i don't think it's common. Because something isn't normal, doesn't make it wrong. Just means its not common.

          Maybe because guys dont tell friends they write in a journal and woman do. I think it's a very smart thing to do for man, woman, kids even to write a journal for your pet.
