We asked, and the males in our lives answered. Keep reading for 25 “secrets” about the way men think about us, sex, friendships, relationships, and the one thing a man will do for you to prove he’s a keeper.
- “Men don’t really care if you’re skinny, just right, or have a few extra pounds. If we’re still having sex with you, it means we’re perfectly content with the way you are.” — William, 32
- “We know you hate parts of your body and we know which parts they are. But don’t worry—if we are with you, they are parts about you that we love … partially because we are the only ones who get to know about them.” — Joel, 27
- “The absolute greatest way to wake up is with the gentle touch of your hand on our stuff.” — Joel, 27
- “Men would rather a woman initiate sex; it’s much hotter.” — Carmine, 28
- “We really really like hand jobs.” —Peter, 29
- “Blow jobs shouldn’t always lead to sex. Also, if you don’t like doing the oral, think of it this way: The better you are, the less time it will take.” — Todd
- “There’s no such thing as “too much attention” to our balls during sex.” — Dan, 29
- “We know that hot women do not always equal hot sex … we also know that hot women, for the most part, do not equal blissfully happy relationships … but we still want to hook up with them to have bragging rights with our male friends.” — Wes, 32
- “Sometimes, we’d like to be on the inside of the spoon.” — Hank, 34
- “Most of us would choose brains over boobs any day.” — Scott, 26
- “Keep the sleeping around down to a minimum. Would you want to date us if we have a list that suggests we love chasing more than looking for love?” — Austin, 29
- “No matter how hot you are, if you smoke and we don’t, it’s a deal-breaker … because we will never kiss you. EVER.” — Wes, 32
- “It is an instinct for us to look at women. It is hard to control that, so maybe she needs to be satisfied that all we are doing is looking.” — Patrick, 52
- “Nothing looks hotter than you in a jersey from our favorite team.” — Kevin, 35
- “If we’re too far away to touch you but can smell your perfume, you’re wearing too much perfume.” — Ky, 34
- “We hate how long it takes you to get ready. But dammit, we love how you look when you’re done.” — Steve, 31
- “We think you’re cute when you wear baseball hats.” — Todd
- “It never crosses a guy’s mind to check if you’re wearing a wedding ring. And even if it did, he’ll hit on you anyway.” — Andrew, 40
- “We think heels with jeans work for the same reason Chucks with sundresses do—we want to know that you’re laid-back but still girly.” — Ky, 34
- “No matter what we say or how often we agree to do it, walking your tiny dog while he wears a sweater kills a little bit of our soul each time we do it.” — Dan, 29
- “A man who will buy you tampons and super absorbent pads is a keeper.” — Kevin, 31
- “As much as you need to feel desirable, we need to feel useful.” — Dan, 29
- “Encourage us to spend time with our friends, especially the ones who repulse you with their vulgar, insensitive, drunken hilariousness; this allows us to get the masculinity out of our system so we don’t repulse you with it.” — Marty, 28
- “The best friend you can ever make is my mother. When the two of you are on the same page, I stand no chance—you will both get your way.” — Dan, 29
- “If you know we are going to call and you don’t answer—you can cause us a ton of anxiety.”— Joel, 27
