Ten Reasons Why I Love Men
A while ago I was hanging out with two of my dearest female friends (who happen to be lesbians). We were talking about the recent demise of my latest relationship, one that had seemed promising and then suddenly turned into a big pile of shit.
And I said, “it would be so much easier if I could just like women.” And we all got a little chuckle out of that. The three of us had never talked about it, but anyone who knows me well knows, I’m pretty far over on that Kinsey scale. I really, really like guys. Really. Too much. And women – well, like I said, my life would be easier if I could like them, too. Me and guys have such a crappy track record.
So, given my crappy track record, what is it about men that I love so much?
Here they are, Ten Reasons Why I Love Men (Please be advised that this is a tongue in cheek list, it saddens me that I must tell you that up front. But last time I posted one of these there were lots of folks who didn’t get the joke.):
- They almost never notice the 5 lbs that I gained (that I’ve been obsessing over), my stressed out skin or my straggly-needs to be cut hair. In short, guys are a lot less critical about our looks than we are. We might look in a mirror and see nothing but flaws, but that’s not the way they see us. I call it their “permanent rose colored glasses”.
- I like sex with men.
- They’re frequently pretty good at fixing things, opening jars, lifting heavy objects. Pretty damn useful to have around.
- I like sex with men.
- They don’t obsess over tiny, little things the way I do. They’re just not programed that way. Well, not the ones I go for.
- I like sex with men.
- They love cholesterol at least as much as I do and can eat more than me. Makes me feel like less of a pig. Mmmm bacon.
- I like sex with men.
- They will scream at the TV during sporting events and so don’t thinks it’s werid when I do.
- I really like sex with men.

I’m noticing a pattern, almost like you made a top 10 list but couldn’t actually think of 10 things
I agree with numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Oh, and 9.
I think I have to agree with 1-10! Sooo true.
I love that men (well, 97% of the ones I’ve met) are not afraid of killing bugs!! That is a HUGE PLUS for me since I will not go near an insect
Mmm, bacon. Read this: http://www.health-fitness.com.au/food-to-avoid-the-bacon-explosion/
Now tell me you’re a vegetarian.
@iamalejandra: Just bugs? I killed mice that entered my house in my last year at uni, the girls that lived there thought it was brilliant (the mice avoided the traps and poison, lucky I have good hands).

What are you talking about. I had 10. Haven’t you ever heard, “There’s no such thing as repetition. Only insistence.” Gertrude Stein
Thanks everyone for having fun with me on this whacky Friday. And damn, iamalejandra – I should have included the bugs.
haha! That was funny. I agree with most of your list.. tongue and cheek lol??
I’d guess that, if you’re honest with yourself, you probably like sex with men
What I hate about men: When I’m not having sex with them!
