Hearing my wife tell me she loves me makes me happy.

I saw this on another site, so make of it what you will.

  • Watching his team win < IS there a more boring thing than sport ?
  • Vacation on a tropical island < everything on tropical islands bites
  • Driving a cabriolet on a long twisty road <Why a cabriolet ? why not have a hardtop, which will handle better ?
  • Drinking beer with his best buddies < Don't like beer, but I see your point
  • Solving technical problems <great if it happens, but not an area of abiding interest
  • Having no personal problems <NOBODY has no personal problems
  • Being able to teach someone things he knows < Not a specifically male thing. Most teachers are women.
  • Having big goals in life and achieving them in timely manner <Knowing the difference between "timely" and "appropriate", and "big", and "achievable".
  • New gadgets <So you can use it to death for two days, then throw it in a cupboard forever ? pointless
  • Practising sports < see point #1
  • Being best at something <Knowing that trying your best is more important than being best.
  • Warm home on a cold rainy day <Having the imagination to come up with something fun to do
  • His favourite food on the table < Better on a plate
  • Being in love with a woman who enriches his life < I'll give you that.

Almost spewed coffee! Too funny.

Hrm.

No, I despise team sports.
No, I prefer Europe and historical vacations than the tropics.
Not really, driving is a means to get from A to B.
Drinking beer is fine. I don't have (or want) 'buddies'.
I do like solving problems.
Teaching is unisexual.
Having goals is unisexual.
No new gadgets for me. I don't even have a cell phone.
No to sports, again. Seriously. I like skills, but not sports.
I don't need to be best at anything, I just need to be adequate to achieve my goals.
Warm home is universal, not limited to men.
Food is fuel, doesn't much matter what it is. I don't like Chinese food though.
Love is also universal. Everyone likes being loved.


So, either I'm not a man, or the list is a stereotype.

[Checks pants].

Stereotype.

My idea of being happy is being mentally equal with everybody else. I am human too, so I deserve it. Nothing else matters.

I was going to keep it simple and say good food and good sex make a guy happy. I don't think men are that complicated but I could be wrong.

No we're not too complicated. But I do sometimes think that some women take our easy-to-please outlook for granted. It has happened to me at least.
