Say something nice about the opposite sex (guys, advice, neighbor)

My brothers, brave and funny, daring and bold, adverturous and shy.....realistic, ironic. Love them.

My son, from babyhood, to toddler....into manhood he walks.....now taller than me. With big dreams and a big heart. I am proud of him and his masculinity. I want to protect him and hold on to him, but I know I must let him go and pray God will walk with him through this often cruel world. I pray he will be strong, belive in himself, trust God, pray, be kind, aim for the stars, accept defeat is part of life and keep going despite. Never, ever surrender....until his dying breath....but fight the good fight for as long as he lives.

So, men.........I love you! Always believe in Hope and Live your life to the full every day. You are a hero, an unsung hero, holding down a job, loving a wife, protecting your family.....whatever it may be, you are solid Gold!

Jeez...

This post got me a little misty eyed......

I like how most women seem to really care about how you're doing and offer advice rather than the "I don't give a f*ck about your issues" approach of guys. I like how women tend to support you when your down and won't try to kick you or spit in your face.

I'm thinking....

Physically, there is a lot to like. Sight, smell, taste, sound, touch..take your pick.

And when you're under stress or out of your element, I think it's cute how some of you regress to behavior like that of a little boy. Very endearing.

I love the way a toned, athletic guy looks fresh out the shower, still slightly moist, with a tiny towel wrapped around his hips. /drool

Uh oh, my sensitive self is showing. Beautiful post Jenna.

Me = Male

I love the motherly instinct women seem to have regardless of age. From childhood toys like dolls up until they raise a child of their own. I love it when women are emotionally strong for us men, even when we are weakest.

Yes, definitely. However:

A less toned and athletic guy, fresh out of the shower, towel wrapped, who happens to be totally in love with me, would be just as appealing!

I didn't see this til now. I like it.

There's so much I could say but I'll just say, I love men. I keep several in my back yard. They're so nice to have around.

No, seriously, I love men.

I love how simple men can be. Put on a sports game, pop open a beer, and they are happy! Last night I watched a basketball game with the man I'm dating we did just that with his arm around me. It was perfect! I love manly form too. Broad shoulders, some stubble on his face...that makes ME happy!

I like it when a girl makes me feel protected. Sure, it may not sound manly or traditional but I am not talking about only being protected physically but in other areas. For example, my girlfriend didn’t want me to go to a place where a relative would be present. He is very harsh with people from other countries, mean sense of humor, and can get aggressive. She didn’t want me to feel hurt or uncomfortable and wanted to protect my heart. I did a bad decision in my company and was just letting it all out with her. Sure, she gave me her opinion about how it could have been prevented but also simply started reminding me of all the other good things I have done that made me feel better about myself and not think too much about the mistake I made that day.

I also remember that time I was travelling in China for vacation and the girl stood up for me with a taxi driver who wanted to give me a tourist price. She got angry and raised her voice at the driver until she gave me a fairer price. It was cute how she went from an angry girl to a sweet girl holding and caressing my arm as we walked out of the taxi.

Yup, I like it when a girl makes me feel protected in her sweet girlie way protecting my heart, protecting me from harm, etc.
