Men who have been around the block for more than half a century have learned a thing or two about the fairer sex.

A few good men shared the lessons they've learned about women after years of friendships, dates, marriages and divorces. Their advice ranged from the cheeky -- "They don't like football as much as they said when I was 40," said actor Alan Thicke -- to the endearing: "There's no secret to a successful marriage," Sting told Esquire magazine. "I love my wife. More important than that, I really like her."
