"'Men'" is a song written by Robert Byrne and Alan Schulman and recorded by American country music group The Forester Sisters. It was released in 1991 as the first single and partial title track from the album 'Talkin' 'Bout Men'. The song reached number 8 on the 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. "Men" was the Forester Sisters' last top-40 country hit; like a number of other 1980s country acts, the band fell in popularity dramatically in 1991 along with a major change in the country music landscape.
