Posted: 10/19/2007 7:32:44 AM | | I like men who are sweet, caring, funny, make me feel lucky and who I know feel lucky to have me. I want to have them as a part of my life because it's far better than being alone. | |

Posted: 10/19/2007 7:45:12 AM | As a man, I could say I am straightforward, caring, a gentleman, open the doors for women, not perfectly open-minded, but I try to hear what the other person has to say. I have had some rough experiences, of late, with women. I just want someone who understands me and plays the same way I do.
I believe that is definitely possible. I know there are good women out there who want the same things that I want. It doesn't mean if a woman doesn't want the same things that she is not good, but I want someone who is clear... | |

We are genetically predisposed to want to interact with men. Unless we are gay...then there is a slight chromosomal deviancy that makes us want to interact with women. Unless we are bi, then there is a slight chromosomal deviancy that makes us want to interact with both men and women, sometimes simultaneously. Unless we are into animals....then there is a slight chromosomal deviancy that makes us do things like moo and neigh and bark....
well - that's the true answer for sure. But it's the first time I've heard a woman admit to it ;-) | |

Posted: 10/19/2007 7:52:29 AM | I like that man was created in an image to be appealing to females. I love eye candy... and I'm not talking about the typical buff calendar guys. I mean every day, average, ordinary guys around my age and older. I like how our bodies mold together so well.
I like their many uses. They build, repair and... ahem... even 'service' (if you know what I mean). Even if I could do all that stuff myself, I like that they don't mind getting dirty and aren't as paranoid as me about creep-crawly things. I like it even more when they have the patience to teach me while they're at it.
I like talking and laughing, walking and dancing, relaxing and working with them. I like how their deeper voices vibrate within my own chest. I like to watch them enjoy a meal cuz it makes me feel appreciated. I like how when they hold my hand my blood pressure drops a little and I feel secure. I like what good pillows they make. | |

I wonder if any of the women would like to post a similar question on ask a guy?
I thought about it, but on second thought, I don't want to hear it. I like this thread though. :) | |

Posted: 10/19/2007 10:11:50 PM | I refrained earlier, but since it looks like the thread in question has been deleted (not surprisingly), I'll say what I was going to before.
I love men, all different kinds. The main reason being that I find the way they react to love fascinating. I've known many a guy who was all about being cool or tough, so as not to appear wimpy or vulnerable, but when they really discover love...wow. And I'm not just talking about romantic love. When they first see their child, the look on the face of many men is devastatingly beautiful. I've also seen a man turn into a 6 year old boy when faced with a mothers love, and it's breathtaking to behold. If a guy wants to be 'strong' that's fine, but when the sensitivity sneaks in, that's when it gets good. And there is nothing more attractive than a fool for love, even if it's something as simple as letting your 3-year old niece play salon with your hair. | |

Posted: 10/20/2007 7:34:24 AM | Titania: That reminds me of a story...I was dating a guy who was 6'6" and a big teddy bear. A very nice guy.
My niece was 3 at the time, and she had just gotten a Blue's Clues board game. I'd already grown VERY tired of playing it! My boyfriend came over to meet my family and my niece instantly clicked with him.
She walks up to this HUGE man, and says "hey, ya wanna play Blue's Clues?"
He says, "I thought you'd never ask!"
She runs and gets the game, saying "Oh boy! This guy's a good one!" (Imagine that coming from a 3 year old!)
She brings the game into the living room and puts it on the floor...he didn't even hesitate. He got down there with her and they played that game 4 times! Of course, she was 3, so she was "in charge" and everytime the guy went to make a move, she'd put her hand out and tell him he "had" to do it a different way, he took it all in stride and went along with it.
My niece is 9 now and STILL talks about that. | |

Posted: 10/20/2007 1:30:27 PM | Men. Delicious, wonderful, demanding, delightful, intriguing, insecure, complicated, emotional, phyisical Men.
This is a complicated interesting question. So many ladies have already listed reasons for loving men...(penises, watching them shave, etc, etc)
Sharing jokes and experiences ("remember when?"s), feeling safe in his arms / around him, trying to get him to laugh and trying to find his ticklish spots, stealing his pillow...
The body heat, holding hands, secret / shy / big / smirky smiles, kisses in the morning, man-humour, masculine fashion, deep voices, watching a guy fix something (anything!), aggrivating, stubborn, companionship, someone to argue with (then *sleep* with), caresses...oh the list could go on and on and on... | |

Come on ladies, I know there are more positive things to say!
P.S.: Oriole...he does, but his brother's married.

Posted: 11/13/2007 8:07:25 PM | I guess it has a lot to do with parts of them. I dunno.
I can't explain WHY I like men. I just do. Maybe it's just BECAUSE they're men. Different from me. Who knows. | |

Posted: 11/13/2007 9:23:47 PM | It is so unfortunate that you seem to have been met with such opposition... I simply LOVE men! LOL With that said, there are many reasons behind this...
- You can establish a connection with them, physically, emotionally, etc., that you can't do with the same sex.
- You can lie in bed and just... talk (before, after or just because). There's such an intimacy to that and a woman can only share that with a man.
- You feel "secure" in general when around a man when you are a part of, and they are a part of your life... two halves make a whole and all that good stuff ;)
- Honestly, they are good companions and contrary to popular belief, I have found that many are good communicators... I think it takes a special chemistry to make that happen though.
- They make better friends than a lot of women out there... I know that sounds dreadful, but I have just as many, if not more male friends than women friends... a LOT... less drama and they're not so caddy.
Honestly, I could go on and on... Men in general are simply fabulous... I don't think there is a single man in my life that I cannot find at least some positive charactaristic to note... and that includes both my work life as well as my personal life. It's funny how a lot of people are quick to judge too. One of my very good friends has... simply put.. a heart of gold... one of the most true and good to the bone people I have ever met but a lot of women won't give him the attention he deserves because they misconstrue his confidence for arrogance. I hate it when this type of thing happens and I personally try to get to know each person as an individual beyond the first impression... more times than not, it pays off ;) | |

Posted: 11/13/2007 9:45:26 PM | Men, some of the ways I love you:
* The tenderness in your eyes when you look at the love(s) of your life, ie partner, child, parent, etc.
* The determination in your eyes when you are going for your goal
* The fierceness in your eyes when you are protecting your loved ones or friends
* The sparkle in your eyes when you are mischievious
* Your deep baritone voice
* The warmth of your hands when you cup my face
* Your soft full lips
* Your welcoming strong arms, especially when I'm tucked neatly inside them.
* Your scent

Posted: 11/13/2007 9:47:20 PM | I can't speak for anything regarding men in general, only particular men.
1) Men make great minions.
2) I have a young male co-worker who caught on that I was unhappy around a Valentine's Day (the ex did something ultimately terrible and I quite literally got sick every Valentine's Day after that and this was pre-boyfriend), so that co-worker made me a homemade (well, officemade) Valentine's Day card. Used printer paper and colors. That was the sweetest thing ever. It went into my scrapbook permanently. I used to do things for my single friends on VD, but no one remembered me once single, so that was the first time in many years.
3) I love the blissful happy facial expression my boyfriend has when he feels loved and appreciated. | |

Posted: 11/14/2007 8:24:53 AM | | Not for me. It seems like all too many girls my age simply don't want a relationship. It is probably because they are in the efficient stage of their lives in college where they're trying to figure themselves out, and what they want to do for a career. But I don't accept that as an excuse. I am at that stage too, but I still want a relationship... | |

Posted: 11/14/2007 10:02:51 AM | There is a post on the Guys site as to why they like us. It's very sweet. Too bad all those guys are too far away from me!
Positive about men.
chest hair
cute butts
muscles
deep voice
you look GREAT in a tux
I love a man's hands
they way you smell
When you pretend to be us (girls/women)
Protective - omg - knowing/seeing men protect their loved ones
being with their kids, rough housing, trick-or-treating, kissing them, playing tea party!
Seeing the little boy in you
When we see you acting like every other kind of male animal
receiving flowers, a handkercheif or open door
being in your arms
When you need us to multitask because you CANNOT do two things at once
Watching you fold a fitted sheet, help us with our jewelry, or wrap a gift, or put Barbie's shoes on her or a bow in your daughter's hair

Posted: 11/14/2007 10:43:35 AM | What I like about men:
They are more apt to solve problems than to complain about them.
They are likely to be talented and capable with the things we women tend to fumble with.
They can be so clueless sometimes, but it is often more endearing than exasperating.
The occasional proprietary gestures they make in public make us feel weak and cherished at the same time.
They just complement us in so many wonderful ways, it's hard to count. | |
