Things I like about men...

[Norajane]

...if they can help you with your pc/laptop/router/dvd/cd/speaker wire/cable/big screen TV, they will, and they're always happy to do it.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Yes, they like to fix things that stay fixed- cars, washing machines.

I like how they smell, even though they've been trained to hide it with deoderant.

hehe, if that was all it took, I'd be Brad Pitt!

Even so, I"m always happy to do it.
The trick is, expanding your sphere of influence beyond your parents. My 80-yr. old Dad will call me immediately if he has a tech problem. He knows from experience that I'm pretty damn good, even if it takes me awhile to figure things out.

Of course, I live in Seattle, where there are plenty of lesser guru's with better hair to compete with.

Start off in the shower and then commence with the wrestling match.

I like their hope and faith in the face of disaster: there's less than 30 seconds in the game and they're sure there's stil time for a touchdown play.

Ah, Exhibit A: Huckleman2000 !

Surely there must be a Starbucks in Seattle where someone needs help with their wireless devices? You could be like Superman, swooping in to save the day. No need for a phone booth to slip into your superhero clothes, either!

You're not married, are you?

Things I like about men:

Their things. I like men's things, and I like how eagerly they share their things. Thank you, men!

It's nice to see that not absolutely everyone thinks all men are the vilist scum to disgrace and polute the Earth. Highly unusual and definitely unique but very nice. Thank you.

LOL... I fix my own cars & stuff... & have buddy's that help me if I can't do it

I like how they smell, even though they've been trained to hide it with deoderant.

I have to agree with the second point tho... I love an honest sweat....
not 3 days of no shower... that is just ewwwww, but that nicer musky scent just jells my brain to mush if I catch it right... If I have had a really bad day, I have been known to walk up to the guy I am with & just sniff him then hug..... & it is all good in the world again...
* Yes I am scent sensetive *

Hell, I can do that.

 

[sophia jane]

Nice thread, Nora. I'll have to think on it because there are so many things I like about men. I'm a big fan of the gender, in general.
The fixing things thing is a good one; I'm hopeless at all of that stuff.

 

[cloudy]

I love how they're bigger than me physically.

I love their beards in the morning when they need to shave.

I love when they're sort of embarassed to say "I love you" around their friends, but do it anyway.

 

[entitled]

i like the dangly bits. Surprised nobody's admitted to that one yet.

i like how they can take a blow better than most women when we're wrestling around and playing.

i love how they move - it's completely different than the way a female body moves.

What's even better is how, on the rare occasion, they can wrap a little bitty thing like me up like a kid and do the warm and protected thing.
