~ Why Men are Wonderful ~ -- author unknown -- They've got that comfortable place on their shoulder that's perfect for snuggling into while we fall asleep. They're at peace with their bodies, exceptfor maybe some minor anxiety over height,weight, and baldness. They're enthusiastic about our bodies, even when we're not. They're beyond enthusiastic about sex. They fall in love so hard, once they finally fall. Chest hair, forearm hair, and the feel of a newly shaved cheek. Bravery around snakes, spiders, bats, andflat tires. Their unapologetic lust for a nice hunk ofbeef or chocolate cake. Their ability to solve problems simply by throwing a ball around. The glimpse you get when they wear their baseball cap backwards of their inner "Little Leaguer". How tender they get when they cry and how seldom they do it. What they lack in talk, they make up for in action. They make excellent companions whendriving thruough rough neighborhoods orwalking past dark alleys. They really love their moms.They remind us of our dads They don't mind accompanying a woman to a party even though she looks like a movie star -- and they look like the chauffeur. Their near-endless appetite for discussing the ins and outs of work and money -- oursas well as theirs. Their genuine ardor for tinkering withtoilets, changing the oil and assemblinggas grills--jobs any intelligent woman cando but would be nuts to volunteer for. They never care what their horoscope,their mother-in-law, nor the neighbors say. They rarely lie about their age, their weight, or their clothing size. How awestruck they are in the face of a Wonderbra or a homemade cookie. How sexy their butts look in jeans. How sexy their hands look holding ours. Their face is a treasure to behold whenthey give us a present they picked out. They have a great sense of competition. They can make great sex partners. They give great hugs and always melt our hearts when a sweet "I love you, Princess" is added. Though they often try to hide it, they'revery tenderhearted and caring. They have an uncanny ability to look deeply into our eyes and connect with our heart,even when we don't want them to. They don't care whether colors matchbut are willing to be concerned if wewant them to be. They give us a peek at the little boy insidewhen they get sick or happy or hurt.
~ The Strength of a Man ~© 1999 By Jacqueline Marie Griffiths
The strength of a man isn'tseen in the width of his shoulders.It's seen in the width of his armsthat encircle you The strength of a man isn'tin the deep tone of his voice.It is in the gentle words he whispers. The strength of a man isn'thow many buddies he has.It's how good a buddy he is with his kids. The strength of a man isn'tin how respected he is at work.It's in how respected he is at home The strength of a man isn'tin how hard he hits.It's in how tender he touches. The strength of a man isn'tin the hair on his chest.It's in his Heart...that lies within his chest. The strength of a man isn'thow many women he's loved.It's in: can he be true to one woman. The strength of a man isn'tin the weight he can lift.It is in the burdens he can carry.
~ Why a Man Needs a Woman ~ by Herbert Stein -- edited for content --
Genesis says...."And the Lord God said:'It is not goodthat the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him'." And so, "made he a woman." Why is woman so valuable to the man??? First, she is a warm body in bed.I don't refer to sexual activity.That is important.But I refer to something that is,if possible,even more primitive: human contact. Adults need that physical contact. They need to cuddle togetherfor warmth and comfort in an indifferent or cold world. But most important,the woman serves the man's needto be needed.If no one needs you,what good are you?Being needed is what gives youthe self-esteem to meet the world....every day.
TO EVERY HONEST, SINCERE GUYYou Are Very Appreicated (Lyrics from MY GUY)
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops. In my opinion he's the cream of the crop As a matter of taste to be exact He's my ideal as a matter of fact. No muscle-bound man could take my handfrom my guy No handsome face could ever take the placeof my guy He may not be a movie star But when it comes to being happy, we are. There's not a man today who could take me away from 'my guy'.
~ JUST SOME GOOD-NATURED TEASING, FELLAS ~ Rules for Buying Gifts for Men -- Author Unknown --
Here are the do's and don'ts of gift buying for men.It's not nearly as complicated as it is for women. Justfollow these simple rules and you should have no problem Rule #1: When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can neverhave too many cordless drills.No one knows why. Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anythingwith the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love sayingthose two words."Hey, George, can I borrow your ratchet?By-the-way, are you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why. Rule #3: If you're really, really broke, buy him anything for his car, a99-cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer, or something tohang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars.No one knows why. Rule #4: Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buymen bathrobes. I was told that if God had wanted men towear bathrobes, He wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts. Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the onesthey have worn out. If you have a lot of money, buy your mana big-screen TV with the little picture in the corner.Watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and flips.... Rule #6: Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs.If you do, it will sit in a cupboard for 23 years.Real men drink whiskey or beer. Rule #7: Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of aftershaveor deodorant. I'm told men do not stink - they smell"earthy". Rule #8: Buy men label makers. They're almost as popular as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks, there will belabels everywhere: "Socks, Shorts, Cup, Sink, Door, Dog, Son..." -- you get the idea.No one knows why. Rule #9: Never buy a man anything that says "some assembly required"on the box. It will ruin his Special Day for he will always haveparts left over. Rule #10: Good places to shop for men include Iron Works, Lumber Yards, Home Depot, John Deere, RV Centers,Tire Centers, NAPA Auto Parts, and Sear's Clearance Centers. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what it is."From NAPA Auto, eh? Must be something I need. Hey!Isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford Fairlane? Wow! Thanks." Rule #11: Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook -- butthey will barbecue. Get him a monster barbecue with a100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas line leaks.Oh the thrill! .... The challenge!"Who wants a hamburger?" Rule #12: Game tickets are a smart gift.However, he will not appreciate tickets to"A Retrospective of 19th Century Quilts."Everyone knows why. Rule #13: Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you lovea chainsaw. If you don't know why, please refer toRule #8 and what happens when he gets a label maker. Rule #14: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrowor an aluminum extension ladder.NEVER buy a real man a stepladder.It MUST be an extension ladder.No one knows why. Rule #15: Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboyorigins, or at least the Boy Scouts. Nothing says lovelike a hundred feet of 3/8" manila rope.No one knows why.

~ The Male Composition ~ ORSome Insight into the Male Mystique-- author unknown --
Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fireand the last log does not burn, he will take it personally. Men have an easier time buying bathing suits. Women have two types: Depressing and more depressing.Men have two types: Nerdy and not nerdy. Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department isusually on the first floor of a store, two inches from the door. Men accept compliments better than women do. Example:"Mitch, you look great. Mitch: "Thanks."On the other side: "Ruth, you look great." Ruth: "I do? Must be the lighting." Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight...and get hot flashes :( Male menopause -- you get to date young girls...and ride motorcycles! :) All men would still really like to own a train set.
~ Why Men Are Such Content Creatures ~
Your last name stays put The garage is all yours Wedding plans take care of themselves Chocolate is just another snack You can be president You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park Car mechanics tell you the truth The world is your urinal You never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just too icky Same work, more pay Wrinkles add character Wedding dress - $5000; tux rental - $100 People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet One mood, ALL the time (HORNY) Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase You can open all your own jars You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack Everything on your face stays its original color Three pairs of shoes are more than enough You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt You almost never have strap problems in public You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades You don't have to shave below your neck One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives, on December 24, in 45 minutes
