1. They Are so Warm

My number one thing that I love about men – is that they are so warm. Have you noticed how it can be freezing cold and yet some men are still walking around in shorts and t-shirts? I think to myself that they must be crazy! But lots of men are simply warmer than us. They are walking, talking radiators – ideal for heating up cold toes and snuggling up to when winter sets in. Rather than reaching for a hot water bottle, grab a man – they are far more fun and cozy.

2. They Are Strong

Men are physically built to be hunters and gatherers – this means that their build allows them to be strong. Handy for opening tight jam jars, lifting heavy shopping bags and generally helping with chores around the home that require strength. Rather than struggling with heavy items and risk hurting your back, call in the heavies, the men.

3. They Help Us Make Babies

Yes, men are very necessary for procreation. Men are key to making babies, we simply can’t make them alone. They are the fathers of our children – and often role models, providers and integral to a loving family. We CAN have babies on our own, of course, but in my view, it's a lot more fun with men.

4. They Look Good Naked

Well let’s be honest – men are easy on the eyes. A sexy man smiling at my direction can put me in a good mood all day. A little eye candy never hurt anybody. I love the company and humour of a good man, but I also love their appearance from the stubble on their chin to their broad shoulders. In my opinion men simply look good naked.

5. Difference of Opinion

Men are wired to think differently than us. This often can lead to arguments and misunderstandings, but it can also be VERY helpful. Often when I have a problem I like to seek the advice of a man, because they often approach a problem from a different angle than a woman. They can often give me peace of mind, by showing me a different way to think about things.

6. Difference in Interests

Maybe I’m being a little stereo-typical, but many men have different interests to women – they are drawn to sports, cars, and fishing, rather than yoga, make-overs and social brunches. Whatever their interests their natural inclination to find other things interesting to you is an asset. Different passions can create great conversations, plus next time your car breaks down you will be glad you know a guy with a hobby in mechanics.

7. They Protect Us

I love men for their natural desire to protect us from danger. I can always sleep soundly knowing that there is a man in the house; then if the house catches on fire or we get burgled I won’t have to cope all on my own. You could keep pepper spray by your bedside and have a fire escape built in – but having a man is just a nicer option.

So there are the 7 simple things that I love about men. I admit sometimes men drive me loopy and I wish women alone ruled the planet, but then I take stock and realise that men have lots of good qualities and we would be lost without them. We may be the fairer sex but we need to have men too; to enrich and share our lives with. What simple things do you love about men?
