Look at him, he's winning!
This post could easily read “What I Like” or “Things I Like”. But while I understand that I might be alone in my hatred of weaves, today I aim to spell out a few things all men like.
Yes … every single one of us.
There are simply certain things in life that every single living breathing 99% of men enjoy. Generally speaking, we are simple creatures. There is stuff that resonates with us all. For the women that come her for that inside look into the male mind … well … not really sure if I can make it any more easier.
So sit back, take out your notepad, and prepare to hear some sh* you already should know be enlightened.
Winning
The Male ego is one of the few things about men that you could label as “complicated” although its really simple and most women just want to complain about it rather than understand it … although we go through the painstaken process of pleasing the female ego. One important thing to remember is that we love to win. We don’t have to win all the time and we don’t have to win at everything, but if we aren’t winning at work, in the bed, or with the misses … life sucks and someone is eventually gonna die to result in our win. Trust and believe.
Head
Dr. J took the time yesterday to explain the importance of head in solving all of the world’s problems. And just in case you missed yesterday’s literary masterpiece, I am hear to reiterate it. Head is important to men and we really like … nay … love it. As Streetz said, it cures colds and heals the world.
Sports
We love to win ourselves but we need to watch other win too. Even us men (me) who don’t love sports … still like sports. There is just something that is inherently manly about sports. Some are into baseball, other would die to keep basketball on TV, hockey is the main draw for man, and football captivates millions each weekend for hours on end. Sports, yea … we like it.
A Quiet House
Name one black sitcom that hasn’t shown the male head of household sitting on a couch and exhaling deeply as they enjoy the piece and solitude of a quiet house. This is loved more and more as we age and the average noise level of the house increases, but can be enjoyed at any time. Even back in college when all my roommates were gone and I could sit on the living room couch and watch my shows in piece … it was a moment of zen. And ask one man with a live in girlfriend/fiancee/wife if he doesn’t appreciate when she is out shopping and he can masturbate watch tv in peace.
Toys
The male species manages to keep our youthfullness long after we have physically lost it. While out hair is gray and our bodies wrinkled temples to our former greatness, we still manage to cherish the kid at heart. As a result toys of some sort will always be loved. You average man starts out with action figures, eventually moving up to footballs and BMX bikes. Then they get their first video game console. That one might last all the way to their 20′s or 30′s. Then we grow into big boy toys … cars, motorcycles, big screen TVs, and fake stripper breasts gadgets. No matter the age there is a “toy” for us.
Sometimes you just gotta take things back to the basics. Although a lot of people already knew these few things were universally shared as a favorite of ever red-blooded man … there were probably a few of you (I see you) that were thrown off or forgot one. Well … your welcome.
Since we know that there is well more than 5 things on this list, what did I miss? Are there any men who disagree with these 5? Any women who got some non-gay male friend who doesn’t hit them all?
- SBM aka “I know what boys like” (pause) aka I can’t think of another alias
you forgot money and women. like i always think that men do everything for family and success aka winning. i got a good educaiton to make money to buy a big house to attract a good woman to have beautiful kids and have my legacy live forever.
Can't say that I can agree with the 'Head' comment – generalization. I've met a couple of brothers that said… 'not so much', it doesn't do it for me. One commented that they can't achieve their goal.
Anomalies, I promise you
yup, they are "The Others"
lmao @ the others. I see you, Streetz.
lmao!
I was watching the new episode this morning?
What season are you on Streetz?
LOL @ Cheekz
Im on S5 Ep 12. I see the light il be all caught up by the next episode!
Coming Soon: Streetz presents the LOST series…
Reecie, knew ud like dat
I'm not sure they count as "Men". Sure they may have a Y chromosome and a Johnson, but that makes them a male. Men like head.
They may not like it as much as p* … but they still like it.
i agree with all of these things. also dr. j brings up a good point. all men do like money and for the most part the majority of men like women. i'm surprised that wasn't number one on the list.
Women was too easy, and while almost all black men like money, there is a healthy percentage that just don't see it as the most important thing. A lot of guys who quite their corporate jobs to teach and stuff … ya know.
Money, Power, Respect……
cool list. that post yesterday about head was a beast (and so were the comments). i agree with all the points. i don't know any man that doesn't like some form of sports.
@melanie- i think they may have been lying to you to spare your feelings. j/k
I agree with these, especially the one about men loving the peace and quiet. Growing up in a household with 6 kids that was the number one thing my dad always requested. And although he rarely ever got it lol, that didn't stop him from asking.
"SBM aka “I know what boys like” (pause) aka I can’t think of another alias"
O_o…think harder boo, think harder, lol
*DEAD*
I said pause …
mmmmhhhmmmmm…..lol
At my age, these were all a given that I've known for quite some time. You guys almost always hit the nail on the head though. "The Male Ego" definitely deserved the number one spot. The need for peace and quiet goes across the board!
I believe #1 wasn't actually the Male Ego, but merely the desire to win.
I'm gonna need females to stop acting like the Male Ego is so much worst than its fairer counterpart.
I apologize that I misinterpreted the number one spot to be related to the male ego as I read "The Male Ego" at the beginning of the first sentence in number one. Also, I never typed a single negative word, complaint, rant, comment, etc. about the male ego. Every human being has an ego, although the particulars about what feeds it differs from person to person and from Man to Woman. Female, huh?
I can say this list is chuuuch I will add a few;
Cooked Food- Jay wasn't lying. Aint nothing like homemade food to sooth the savage <del>Streetz</del> Beast. Its convenient, customizable, and full of nutritious delight!
Sex- Nuff said
Recognition Its hard for men out here, especially the black man. Some may live for it, others may be happy with a lil props, but we ALL love a "job well done" salute from our peers and haters alike!
I would add being with a movement or doing a task to the left of what your core personsa is. This can seen in the cats in the hood that love some chess. For me it was film. No one who knew me was aware that I was gettin in this biz but I moved in silence only told a couple of ppl of my desire to be film. So of course when my man Ephriam Benton got a cameo in Precious I told ppl check out the film we did back in 07 the look on ppl faces says it all. Btw the film is on IMDb-Three Quaters of Face Value. Last I said against your persona in that prior to college I gave no hints as to what I would study, nor did my other hobbies allude to filmmaking.
Substitute Cooch in the place of head for me. Although I love head, nothing beats the real thing.
But you still love heard … so it still works.
I wasn't going for the top 5 … because varies a lot … just 5 things.
I understand and that's why I don't mind letting yall win every now and then just for GP.
Humor. We love a good laugh. Even at the most inappropriate times, a good joke will illicit at least a muffled smile. Be it slapstick, dry wit, gallows humor, or bad jokes, all men love the funny, whichever form it takes.
