Why men hate going to church

perhaps the problem starts earlyThe blog for St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Waynesboro, Georgia had a recent post quoting from a June 18 review in the Augusta Chronicle of David Murrow's Why Men Hate Going to Church. The top ten reasons men hate going to church listed in the book are:

10. I don't have time
9. Church just doesn't work for me
8. It's boring
7. It's irrelevant to my life
6. I don't like the pastor
5. I don't want to talk about it
4. It's too long
3. They ask for money too much
2. It's for wimps
1. There are too many hypocrites there

a poor excuseItems like no time, long, boring, irrelevant, they ask for money and there are too many hypocrites sound like they would apply to men and women equally. Do the men you know fall into these? If you are a man, are any of these relevant for you? How would a woman's list look different?
What did the book miss?
