25 Reasons We Like Men Just The Way They Are

1) When you're dancing, the big of their hand on the small of your back.

2) That they don't take everything personally.

3) Their healthy affection for their body-as-is. We get hysterical when
we don't fit into our tightest jeans. Men start worrying only when
they don't fit into the car.

4) The way they get blissed out listening to a smart woman talk.

5) The open and trusting manner in which they'll point to a restaurant
menu and ask, "Do I like this?"

6) French-kissing.

7) When they drape their jackets around our shoulders on a chilly evening.

8) If you ask them, "Who's prettier, me or Julia Roberts?" they
instinctively know the correct answer. ("That pig? Compared to
you? No contest!")

9) Their tendency to fall in love with some goofy aspect of you that you
never noticed before: "I'm crazy about the way your ear curls like
a potato chip."

10) Their refusal to take the blame when they know they don't deserve it.

11) Their buns.

12) That they aren't exactly sure when you're wearing makeup and when
you're not, and can't remember whether mascara is the tube thing
or the pencil thing.

13) The stricken/ecstatic look on their face when they're holding a
friend's baby, and suddenly, for the first time, they can imagine
themselves doing this for real.

14) The smell of Old Spice and honest sweat battling for dominance.

15) They'll kill hairy insects the size of Russia for you, even though
they don't much relish the idea, either.

16) They're willing to let you off at the entrance, any entrance, and go
park 16 blocks away.

17) The graciousness with which they allow us to pick at their dessert
after we've declined to order one.

18) Talking to them in the bathroom while they shave.

19) When they tell us they'd be friends with us even if they didn't
love us.

20) Sleeping like spoons.

21) Fighting with them after you've both gotten the hang of doing it fairly.

22) They make such fabulous brothers.

23) The way they look in well-worn jeans and a white dress shirt with no tie.

24) The way they assume we have an opinion on who is the best in football.

25) They cried at "Fried Green Tomatoes," too.
