Why Men Believe We Love Most Of Them

*because their youthfulness thrills us, their adventure, their play, their ability to amuse themselves and us and we show it to them by joining in;

*because a child can bring them to tears and we are drawn to touch them in that brilliance;

*because they are so easy to read and can a simple reading usually tells us what they really need;

*because they are easy to please in bed and it is never a bother but a good way to ensure communication…our rewards are many for this simple soulful connection;

*because they need rewarding for what they do, and in rewarding, they learn quickly to reward back;

*because they can be such little teenaged boys with their toys and their delight in breaking down and building up and the pride bouncing off them when they clear land or grow a tomato;

*because they accept the changes in their bodies better than we do;

*because they are meat-eaters, and we have to cook it for them, so we get to eat it too;

*because painting a house takes the consternation and concentration of Michelangelo painting his most admirable work of art - their home is their chapel;

*because a stain on a tee-shirt is not death, a hair out of place (think eyebrows, ears, nose) is not reason to die of embarrassment;

* because they have initiative in solving problems…not that things aren’t ‘gormed’ together…. Just that they get solved one way or another.  Don’t ask policy is best.

*They are better at showing love than saying it…and sometimes it is really important to feel it and see it rather than hear words that have come to mean so little in depth and have become just words;

*because they like nurturing best when they are sick and they can be easily swayed to understand what we might have been going through without notice;

*because they balance our fantasies with their reality;

*because, for all their bravado and war stories, they can still be more afraid of snakes;

* because they don’t get the words to their favorite song or why you like the ones you do so you do not have to have a long drawn out conversation about the depth of your meaning to them;

*because they can wear three piece suits and not have three-piece-suit mentalities;

*because taking a shower carries more meaning than simply getting clean…wink, wink, nudge, nudge;

*because they never fail to notice beauty of other women, but still tell us they love us even when we wake up looking like a bat that has hung upside down all night;

*because they take everything we say seriously and that makes them fun to tease…and make feel better after their moment of angst over what we just teased about might be true;

*because they can’t fake what they don’t feel;

*because they are so predictable in ordering or buying their favorite drinks, and we know what to expect because it is same old, same old;

*because they blunder in to a bad pick-up line that they get such joy out of saying;

*because you will always find a man hanging out with women friends when he doesn’t have one of his own;

*because deep down inside, we still love the “me, man/you woman” macho-pretense of them.
