morethanjustamom Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 This is sort of a reciprocal thread to the one the guys started about things women do to themselves, and sort of got hijacked into a 'what men like about women' thread. Also, Bruce said that society tends to look down on a man enjoying being a man, and that's sad that he should feel that way. So let's let the guys in on the things we love most about men, shall we?

IrishPirate Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 omg... I LOVE the smell of a man who's been outside. Even just driving with the windows open puts a certain smell on them. Drives me nuts.and I love watching a man fix something, manually. 2 Quote ~It's when Pirates count their booty that they become mere thieves.~My Fitness Pal TrackerMy 6 Week Challenge Page- Scout Link to comment
scuddle Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Deep, rumbly voices. A little bit of stubble, just enough to scratch your face on without it hurting. Strength! Physical and mental.

airen123 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 White teeth, nice smile. Sweaty, hot men who workout minus bad smell. Confidence and funny. Not sarcastic funny, though. Must read books. Quote just keep on trucking... Link to comment

Revah Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Okay, if I'm allowed to stereotype:I love the way men will listen to my problems and then actually offer practical solutions, or encourage me to come up with them on my own. It's just what I need when I'm a bit emotional and need something to kickstart my rational thinking again. Sort of - yes, I agree that sucks, now what can you do about it? 2 Quote "See, Leisha -- this tree made this flower. Because it can. Only this tree can make this kind of wonderful flower. That plant hanging up there can't, and those can't either. Only this tree. Therefore the most important thing in the world for this tree to do is grow this flower. The flower is the tree's individuality -- that means just it, and nothing else -- made manifest.

Bumblebee4 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 omg... I LOVE the smell of a man who's been outside. Even just driving with the windows open puts a certain smell on them. Drives me nuts.and I love watching a man fix something, manually.Oh my God YES. Men think they always have to clean up first but really sometimes there's nothing sexier than a sweaty man that's been doing manly things! I'm not saying smother us with your sweaty body but being close enough for us to smell you can be a big turn on. I said that part because I'm sure some ladies will disagree with the sweaty man thing.And shoulders. There is nothing like a nice strong shouler to snuggle on, cry on, lean your head on slow dancing.

'Roos Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The pec-cuddling sweet spot - where my boobs make the 'leaning head on chest' kinda awkward, dudes have the natural 'man pillow' to snuggle up with. Can't be beat. *cuddles* Quote Link to comment
Arashi Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 omg... I LOVE the smell of a man who's been outside. Even just driving with the windows open puts a certain smell on them. Drives me nuts.and I love watching a man fix something, manually.Oh yeah.I also like when a man makes me laugh when I'm too stressed or angry. Or when he just hugs me really tight and lets me know I'm not alone. Quote Link to comment
morethanjustamom Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Man-smell is awesome! Especially if he's outdoorsy...mine always smells like the woods: trees, fresh cut grass, sweat, dirt...aww yeah! Chest, back and shoulders...*sigh* Stubble, on a man it's sexy, on me...gross, lol. Pure brute strength! Always leaves me in awe when I watch Hubby work out. Deep voices, logical, linear thinking, male intelligence, daddy skills, all very sexy! 1 Quote The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything: the young know everything. ~Oscar Wilde Link to comment

My sample group only consists of a couple hundred women...Really? Wow....then again, I was raised by a single dad and so a lot of the weird cultural trappings of femaleness that I'm reading about in the other thread just seem bizarre to me.Best advice a guy ever gave me as a geeky teenager: when you're freaking out over something, just ask yourself What Would Spock Do? Yeah, it's about as nerdy as it gets, but it sort of works. Yay for logic. Quote "See, Leisha -- this tree made this flower. Because it can. Only this tree can make this kind of wonderful flower.

Silentplanet Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Don't have pec's.. but I have nice boobs.. are they good enough? =PEDIT: I also really like the reply about practical solutions. I love giving practical advice and helping people solve problems =) it's good fun! if it's enjoyed then hell.. I may just go around forcing my advice down people's throats (j/p j/p) 1 Quote Link to comment
morethanjustamom Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Congratulations, you are the first woman ever* to think that. *As far as I can tell. My sample group only consists of a couple hundred women...Not true! I think all women like the practical advice, IF that's what we want. The assumption that we ALWAYS want a solution is where men go wrong. Also, sometimes we want empathy first, then problem solving suggestions. 1 Quote The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything: the young know everything. ~Oscar Wilde Link to comment
llsoszynski@gmail.com Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hmmm.. nothing better than a man that easy to talk to. thats great at what they do, and confident enough to do it that well. I have to agree with the smell of working outdoors. and big shoulders. and arms. nothing more comforting than having big arms to hold onto . I'm a big neck person too. my husband has the perfect neck and jawline. and eyes. but thats physical. and I'm verry biased . I love when guys are there for you just as a friend, and even after youre engaged or married, theyre still your friend. but thats close to impossible these days.

cline Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Man legs on guys that work out. Man style hanging out. Hanging out with a beer or two watching stuff... laid back, nice. I love this and it's why I always spent more time with men.Men who like women who like sports and who like women's sports (b/c they like sports). These are often super awesome guys. My guy wanted to go to women's world cup - twice!! Men who know when to hug you AND when it's patronizing. That's a rare breed indeed.

Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

AKLulu Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Shoulders and back, definitely hot.Guys who know how to do things? Especially building or fixing - YES.His arms around me, his hands on my waist, snuggling up against him. Win.I also love it when a guy lays his head on my shoulder/chest. So cozy Not only do I love rumbly/deep voices, but I LOVE when men sing (you don't have to have a deep voice necessarily)... even if it's just under their breath and only around me.Man smell (not the sweat SO much) and how their t-shirts still smell like them after they've been washed.Working hands.I love it when a guy brushes the hair out of my face.Oh. A guy that can cook. Especially a fit man in an apron... OMG *drool*Someone who can hunt/fish.I don't even mind watching sports with them as long as they do amusing things like shout at the TV.Hmm... hmm... hmm... so many things I love about men. I'm sure I'll come up with more. Quote Lulu : one that is remarkable or wonderful (it's in the dictionary, it must be true) Battle Log | Pinterest | Twitter | Instagram Link to comment

I think it's silly for the man to shave/wax it.... especially if it is JUST average.
