This is my hypothesis

I posit that most men who have elder sisters are mellow. Most of them I met in my life were mellow, even though some of them were physically strong.

I know nothing about foreigners' situations, but Japanese elder sisters tend to regard their younger brothers as their followers or something when they were young. They always force their younger brothers to do something they want. There may be some quarrels. However their genders are different, so fierce hand-to-hand fight hardly, if not never happens among them. So these boys naturally learn how to solve daily problems among their sisters in a peaceful way.

But men who have brothers are different. Fierce fight is everyday experience for them. So these men tend to be physically and mentally tough guys. That is because these guys have to fight against their brothers to win everything they need such as toys, snacks when they were children. They naturally learn how to beat competitors up.

I am not saying which is better.

But if I have children......I hope I will have two sons.

  • I know nothing about foreigners' situations, but Japanese elder sisters tend to regard their younger brothers as their followers or something when they are young. [Your tenses have to be consistent. "tend to regard" --> are." In any case, you can't say "tended to regard... when" here, because that sounds like every elder sister in Japan has grown up and there are no more children left.]

  • They always force their younger brothers to do whatever they want.

 

  • However their genders are different, so fierce hand-to-hand fight hardly, if not never happens among them.
  • However their genders are different, so they hardly fight hand-to-hand, if ever. ["If ever" is the perfect expression to fit with "hardly." It means that it's doubtful / uncertain if it even ever happened.]

  • Fierce fights are an / Fierce fighting is an everyday experience for them.

 

  • That is because these guys have to fight against their brothers to win everything they need such as toys, snacks when they were children.
  • That is because these guys had to fight against their brothers to win everything they needed such as toys and snacks when they were children. [had -> needed -> were. Tense consistency again.]
