I LOVE when a man...

Okay, so I saw on another post someone saying that Single Peeps is a battle of the sexes, and that we women tend to do the male bashing parties here. So... I started thinking about all the wonderful things I like about men because I do truly admire the opposite sex.

I'll start.

I LOVE when a man cooks for me.

I LOVE when a man wears really great cologne.



*Okay, let's keep it positive! And HAVE FUN!* :smile:

    I love that sweet spot a man has right there on his shoulder when you cuddle. Only a man can provide that!

    I love when men who are normally laid back have that little tinge of jealousy that they try to keep under control...its cute!

    I love a man's forehead kiss.

    I love the soft side of a man when you get to know them more. They can be so multifaceted.

    I love when a man kisses me softly and gently, period. :love:

    YEP! That's another thing I like about men. They can be so rational and so strong at times... yet, when they see their daughter walking down the aisle in a flower girl dress (or a wedding dress), they tear up.



    EDIT: I suck at quoting on MFP!!!

    I love it when a man smiles at me. I know that sounds simple and maybe juvenile, but I really do like seeing a man's nice, genuine smile when we make eye contact.

    I love it when a man does something helpful for me, whether it be fixing something or carrying something heavy or listening to what I'm saying and offering a few words of encouragement.

    I love it when a man asks me to dance. :flowerforyou:

    And only one man has done this, but I'll include it anyway because I absolutely loved it. I love it when a man carries me on his shoulders. It makes me feel on top of the world. (If I keep my progress going in the right direction, hopefully I can have that experience again someday!) :love:

    I love it when a man...has a pulse?

    Sorry. It's been, well, not a while, but anything more than a couple days is too long. :laugh:

    OH FOR SURE! I love it when we make that eye contact, and he smiles, and I get butterflies all in my stomach. :flowerforyou:

    And I so agree. I was really missing having a man in my life today when I was trying to work in my classroom. My ex used to come to the school with me and drill holes in the wall for me to hang stuff, and he would take care of hanging the stuff that was too high for me to reach.... :frown:

    I love it when a man wants to hold my hand while we're walking, or holds his hand in the small of my back while walking next to me. I can't really explain why, I just do. :smile:

    Also really love it when they absentmindedly play with my hair.

    I'm still going with my original reply, because apparently hoping for anything else is too much to ask for. :laugh:

    I love when a man teases you and it makes you blush.
    I love when a man compliments you unexpectedly.

    Uhmm...does anyone else notice that almost everything so far is something he does for "me" or how he makes "me" feel rather then who he is or how he lives.

    I know that is not what one wants to hear,not trying to start an argument and heading to bed.
    Just what I noticed and think maybe a bit of reflection is in order.

    Mine wasn't. He's got to have a pulse in order to keep himself alive, so that's for himself too.

    but it's titled i love WHEN a man......

    i could say i love when a man goes to work on time and makes money, but that's not what i love. i could also say i love when a man is nice and polite and gentle. because i do, but mainly because i think we should all be that way.

    i don't ask for help. so to me if a guy sees that i need help with something and he chooses to do it because he knows i'll never ask him too........ THAT makes me fall in love with him.

    and anyone can kiss me, and it can be great. but if a guy walks me backwards until i slam into a wall, i am going to swoon. i am going to never want to let go. i will be so turned on it won't be funny! and that will make me fall in love even more.


    there's a lot of stuff that will attract me to a man. LOADS of things. but, those same things might not be there reasons i fall in love. they might not be the things that make me want to say " i love you."

    I think you're misconstruing this thread a little. It is about things a man does that we like. When I think of that, I don't automatically think "I love when a man works as an accountant." Maybe I misunderstood you though? It's about things he does that make us love him.

    More:
    - I love when a man takes charge
    - I love when a man loves his mom and dad and family.
    - I love when a man clearly loves children. It melts my heart to see a man playing with a child.
    - I love when a man remembers little insignificant things about you.

    Fair point....

    Ok....lemme try again then....

    I love it when a man is a good cook. Not because he can cook FOR me, but maybe he can show me a thing or two about something he enjoys doing.

    I also love it when a guy has a talent, such as dancing or playing an instrument. It's a turn on seeing them in their element, doing something they love to do, that can be shared with someone else.
  • This one's for you, Carl!

    I love a man who can have an intelligent conversation with me.

    I love a man who can make me laugh.

    I love men because they think differently, act differently, look differently, and they just freakin' amaze me!

    I love when I see a man playing with or teaching children.

    Oh, I could go on and on... I think men are pretty awesome creatures.

    *this is supposed to be a positive fun post, Carl! ;)*

    IN complete and total agreement with you!!!
  • OKay... just so you know... When I started this thread, I meant it to be positive and fun about MEN!

    There are LOTs of things I love about the opposite sex in general. But, "in general" doesn't apply to all men... So instead of titling it "I LOVE men because..." I titled it, "I LOVE when a man..."

    Just for the record, in case you haven't already read or seen, I think men are some awesome creatures!!!!

    ...is "strength" for me when I'm overwhelmed
    ...can cut through my overloaded emotions with male logic
    ...can stand up for/protect me when I'm too weak or too naive to protect myself
    ...is strong enough to set me straight if I'm wrong




    oh...hehe... and I LOVE when a man talks about how he likes where this relationship is going (though I didn't know I was "in" one, lol), how he sees the future working out (including things like my military travel), shares plenty of my interests (but all of them, or I'd think he's fake), cooks me something fabulous, totally wants me physically yet still respects my boundaries...wooooo...it's been a looooooong time since I had to send someone home because I was worried about containing *me* not *him*.:blushing:

    Ummmm... men, as well as women, often love the things we do for them (insert action of entirely platonic/romantic/erotic nature here!) as well as the more fundamental aspects of a person's nature. One is not exclusive of the other. For example, I love when a man holds my coat for me to get into, or walks on the road side of the pavement, because it makes me feel that he cherishes me, wants to make my life easier/more pleasant, and has gentlemanly instincts/training that have become a part of him. It also makes me feel that he might just drop a kiss on my neck just below my ear *pleasant shiver*. Our actions, and how we treat others are a reflection of who we are inside. Loving the action, and how that makes us feel, isn't necessarily shallow or an indication that we don't prize where/what it comes from.

    I love that men are alittle hairy lol, have strong hands, deep voices, strong shoulders, usually handy with tools and...like sports and will explain it to me.

    I like that men are just very different in how they think..I like someone who can be logical or geeky and see a different side of things so long as they are patient and don't shove their opinons down my throat.

    I just love men..now to have one love me back lol

    Carl!! You've lost the true spirit of the thread! Don't you love women when they do stuff for you? Run you a bath? Make you a sandwich? Play with your hair? Kiss your...................

    etc :wink:

    I adore this.

    I love it when a man makes up excuses to touch you or be close to you.

    I love it when a man giggles. Strange, yes I know, but it shows (to me, at least) that he has a sense of humor.
