Tall, tanned, leather-clad men are the topic of Ehrlich's About Men. According to Ehrlich, the cowboys have been romanticized by those who didn't live in areas where cowboys were. Real cowboys did hard work to get it done, not because it was romantic for them to be strong. Ehrlich's tone conveys that she is serious about the cowboys that she knew. She knew that they did not have pride over their title, but rather their pride was in the work that they did. Her tone is formal and serious. She does not approve of the way that cowboys have been romanticized. Her purpose was informing. She knew that most people did not personally know a cowboy, so she simply informed those who did not grow up the same way that she did.
