Theyve got that comfortable place on their shoulder thats perfect for snuggling into while we fall asleep.

Theyre at peace with their bodies, except for maybe some minor anxiety over height, weight, and baldness.

Theyre enthusiastic about our bodies, even when were not.

Theyre beyond enthusiastic about sex.

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 unapologetic lust for a nice hunk of beef or chocolate cake.

Their ability to solve problems simply by throwing a ball around.

The glimpse you get, when they wear their baseball cap backwards of their inner Little Leaguer.

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 dont 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 sexy their butts look in jeans.

How sexy 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 can make great sex partners

They give great hugs, ( and always melt our hearts when a sweet I love you Princess is added)

Though they often try to hide it, theyre very tenderhearted and caring

They have an uncanny ability to look deeply into our eyes and connect with our heart, even when we dont want them to

They dont care whether colours match but are willing to be concerned if we want them to be

They can be taught

They give us a peek at the little boy inside when they get sick or happy or hurt.
