Thursday Thirteen – I love men!

I love men. I do! Please note that this is not a comparison to women. Women have a lot of these characteristics. These are just things I love about men.

I have a friend who says that every man takes one look at me and thinks “this one will understand me”. That’s probably true.

Thursday Thirteen #4

Here are Thirteen things I love about men.

1. Smell:

I love the clean sweat smell a man has in the gym or right after a run. Clean hot sweaty guys smell great. Whether it’s the heavy musk smell of a sweaty rock club or breathing hard from a workout, yum.

2. Laughter:

I’ve never met a man that I couldn’t make laugh or at least giggle. I love the “I’m so serious” look shift to a choked laugh. The men I’ve met are always up for a laugh, even if it’s at their expense.

3. Simplicity:

A lot of women disagree with me, but I think men are fairly simple. You want to make a man happy? Feed him, fuck him, give him some quiet time, and say “Thank you” every once and a while. Easy.

4. Up for a crazy adventure:

As you know if you read this blog, I’m a little wild. Most men are up for crazy adventures. Sure, some men are more up for crazy adventures than others. (Crazy adventure? Driving all night to spend the day at Cheyenne Frontier Days, meeting a rock band for a barbeque, climbing on the roof to watch fireworks, skiing a half day so you can fish the Blue when it warms, etc.) I have friends who know that if they are up to something crazy? I’m in.

5. Physical:

I’m a pretty rough and tumble gal. You can hit, wrestle, hug, or bump into a guy and he’ll hit, wrestle, hug or bump you back. Physical contact isn’t always around sex – it’s just contact for contact’s sake. And that’s very nice.

6. Direct: Sure some guys are players, but my experience is that men can be brutally direct. I love that.

7. Observant:

Men are stimulated by sight, so they watch things and see things. My male friends point out everything from eagles flying in the air to a nice ass. I’ve seen so much of this world because some guy pointed to something that I missed.

8. Verbal: When I take the time, settle down, and listen to a man, I hear so many interesting things about the world. Whether it’s baseball scores or the latest political scandal, there’s a lot to be heard when a man starts talking especially when he starts talking about himself.

9. On/Off: Men tend to be either involved in something or not. They are working or they are not working. They are playing or they are not playing. I found in working with couples that women tend to be all gray (I’m in this as much as I’m not) while men tend to be black and white (I’m here or I’m not). These boundaries feel really safe to me.

10. Playful:

I love to play. I’ve never met a man who wasn’t up for a little play. Whether it’s a new video game or a romp with the dog, playing is essential to most men. And to me!

11. Gossip: Have you heard men gossip? It’s no accident that the most popular gossip website is run by a man. And if you think that’s because he’s a gay man? You’ve never heard men gossip. From a nice pair of “knockers” to the latest sports chatter, they gossip. They are hilarious.

12. Music:

What can I say? I listen to alternative metal. I like guitar melodies, strong singing voices and something I can dance to. Most of that is created by men. Of course, lead singers can be total babes, but that’s another list.

13. And that too!

I know what you were waiting for on this list. Give me a big hands with long fingers, a nice butt in 501 jeans, big shoulders, tall (at least as tall as me), and some skill (yes skill – who cares if its big if he doesn’t know how to use it!), and you have my attention. Of course, my husband wouldn’t like it if you stole too much attention, but you have mine.

How do you determine skill? That’s a whole other list!
