Someone posted a an old piece on that recently, listing all the myriad of possibillities for women, and then ending with, "men: show up naked." I'm so visually oriented, about like an eleven year old, that that's almost fair where I'm concerned.

More seriously? Where to start?... As to matters of relationships: I'm someone who spent a lot of early years feeling unlovable. Realizing that a very lovely (in all kinds of ways) lady can actually love the heck out of me almost frightened me at first, but it has been very good for me.

Well - It's not seeing just anyone nekked. You have to have standards.

But for me - one thing that makes me happy is appreciation for some of the little things I do. Just a kind word and heartfelt thanks. That goes a long way in my book.

Chance.....as in the old joke:

Old Indian standing on corner watching girls go by. Whenever one catches his eye or says "hello", he replies, "Chance!"

Finally, one woman says to him, "I thought Indians were sopposed to say "How"!"

He answers, "Me know how, me need chance."

....................

Seriously, it's impossible to generalize. Just as not all women need exactly the same things to be 'happy', neither do all men. What is sad is that there are enough who feed the stereotypes to make this game possible.

Me? I need humor, honesty, love and variety in my life....in varying combinations.

A pint of decent real ale, a fine Malt Whisky, a good curry, with tasty side dishes. Samosas, Chapattis, Tarka Dhal, fresh Onion Chutney, and sufficient Basmati rice.
A full cooked breakfast, including black pudding, home cured bacon and fried potato scones.
Good music.

As the great Tony Hancock once put it when describing Saturday night in East Cheam - a pound in your pocket, a pint in your hand and a bird on your arm.

Hey, bfdk, that works.

It gives something to talk and make gross jokes about while drinking the beer. ;)

I can't speak for other men, but I want a high IQ, great sense of humor, a pleasant speaking voice, well read, easy going and loves folk music.A good command of the language and the ability to debate without flying off the handle are bonuses.

I want to amend my list to include most of John's!...with the pedantic addendum that it be SINGLE Malt Scotch Whisky, and very light on the peat, if any.

Well, at least you left the beer out of it, JT. ;0) Glad to hear that little girl of yours is keeping you so busy you're posting to the wrong threads now and then. LOL (Ooh, how *mean*!) x   

I'm getting kinda worried about the beer, as in...

I'm in a plane going down over the ocean. There's me, 99 other women, 50 men, and 100 crates of beer on board. For some reason, NONE of the girls make it, but every single beer bottle stays intact, then they're left in the sea for a few hours to cool and are partaken of later, on a sun-kissed beach, by 50 of the happiest men in the world, who are surrounded by naked, dancing bear-pigs...

Oh, and in an old shed, on that sun-kissed beach, they found a tom cat who they adopted as 'one of their own'.... :0)


This thread isn't doing a great deal for a woman's esteem.. ;0)

Making a woman happy by allowing her to wait on him hand and foot and care for his every need and desire.

Rapaire has roundly, repeatedly and throughly demonstrated that he will never learn.

Men love anything that make them feel like they are driving, steering, causing, defining or determining their days. That includes submissive pets, compliant mates, power tools, admiring girlfriends, and MP3s of canned applause. Men just want to be captains of their fate--is that too much to ask? Except when they don't feel good. THEN they want to be mothered.

There were 2 men and one woman marooned on a desert island.
At the end of the first month, the woman was so ashamed of what she'd done, she killed herself
At the end of the second month, the two men were so ashamed of what they'd done, that they buried her.
At the end of the third month, the two men were so ashamed of what they'd done, that they dug her up again.

Being left alone, especially when sick.

That old myth about being mothered don't cut the mustard, Amos. Not around the menfolk I know. Them fellers what whine to the wife when sick is just on the TV. Lad that whiney would get his as kicked by the girls I goes with.
