Men are convicted of things... It is just that men & women have some struggles that are different from one another.
Many of the things that women struggle with are not issues that men have problem with... and vice versa.
To me the difference is sin is usually a heaven/hell issue.
I believe we've made many things that are personal convictions a heaven/hell issue and they shouldn't be.
Right, and I think there's a difference between what you do yourself, and what you tell others they ought to do.
When another person asks me what they need to do to be a Christian, I don't go down my personal list. I point them to clear scripture for guidance. And I don't change that approach after they're converted. It isn't my place to dictate another person's personal relationship with God.
Even if someone asks me directly about why I believe or live a certain way, if it isn't something backed by scripture, I'm very hesitant to share. First, because they may not understand my reasons, and may feel unnecessarily condemned, and secondly, because that's between God and me, and I may not want to share all my reasons.

No in being serious I look at sin as breaking one of the 10 commandments...

I think I know where KWSS1976 is coming from. If you follow Matthew 22:36-40 and love God and your neighbor you won't have to worry about breaking the 10 Commandments. Everything else can be summed up in those two commandments.

I have a conviction against wearing rings but my wife doesn't.
What about things that are not heaven/hell issues?
Are there any of those things that you still refrain from or make sure that you do?
This is where I think "religion" goes wrong. When God tells me something, and I decide that if I need to do it, then everyone, everywhere needs to do it to!

Really? Since when?
I know men with personal convictions about beards, mustaches, short sleeved shirts, coffee, blue jeans, pleated pants, shorts, colored dress shirts, jogging pants, going to amusement parks, attending major sporting events, to name a few...
