Reasons to Love Men

  • 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, except for maybe some minor anxiety over height, weight, and baldness.
  • They're enthusiastic about our bodies, even when we're not.
  • 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, waterbugs, bats and flat tires.
  • Their ability to solve problems simply by throwing a ball around.
  • The glimpse you get, when they wear their baseball cap backward.
  • How tender they get when they cry, and how seldom they do it.
  • What they lack in talk, they tend to make up for in action.
  • They make excellent companions when driving through rough neighborhoods or walking 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 - ours as well as theirs.
  • Their genuine ardor for tinkering with toilets, changing oil and assembling gas grills - jobs any intelligent woman can do 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 nice their butts look in jeans.
  • How nice their hands look holding ours.
  • Their face is a treasure to behold when they give us a present they picked out.
  • Their ignorance is usually amusing.
  • They have a great sense of competition.
  • They give great hugs, ( and always melt our hearts when a sweet "I love you" is added).
  • Though they often try to hide it, they're very 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 match, but are willing to be concerned if we want them to be.
  • They give us a peek at the little boy inside when they get sick or happy or hurt.
