How Fatherhood Changes Men

A recent study revealed that fatherhood leads to a drop in manliness. No, seriously: The study compared when men were single to when they became fathers, and found parenting actually lowered a man's testosterone levels. 

So what does this mean about how today's man is evolving?  Does having kids make you "less" of a man?  Experts and local dads weigh in.  Are you a father?  How has your life changed since you've had kids?  Share your stories.
