46 Reasons Why Men Are Amazing

After writing a post on ’46 Reasons Why Women Are Amazing’ I thought that I would do a similar list about our male counterparts. I think men get a raw deal sometimes and have an unfair reputation for being poor role-models and deadbeats. This list is based upon the opinions of my male friends and my own thoughts. (I think at this point I should also be rewarded for resisting the urge just to post 46 pictures of Dolph Lundgren with no shirt on… )

  1. I actually have a lot of trouble answering who I consider to be really good-looking male celebrities. But Hugh Jackman, well, that’s a no-brainer. Can’t think of anyone else now though.

  2. #11 x 1000. Why is it that men can travel the entire globe and find clothing to fit, EXACTLY to size, in any country, and women have to try on each individual item, only to find that sizing is different?! ARGH!

    So true. I have no idea what is in the water in Australia and New Zealand, but they have some of the best looking, sexiest, most loyal men, in the world.

  3. I know… And this is just the start of it. We dont ramble after break-ups as long as the other sex.

    We see a guy in same shirt at a party. We become friends. This is impossible with women.

    Less pairs of shoes.

    Dont have to wear different colours of night wear to remain sexy.

    :p awesome list.

  4. Men can be awesome, there’s no doubt. A wonderful compilation, Suzie.
    Thanks for the Hugh Jackman pic. Hot flushes and fanning furiously!!!
    And, when it’s someone’s turn to buy a round, they don’t mess about, ‘You’re up next, tight arse!’ to their mates. (Maybe that’s just Scotland. :)).

  5. Thank you for a “TRUTHFUL” list of “AWESOMENESS” for both sexes! No “parody” list that ends up actually slamming both sexes. Nicely done. Men and women are awesome, and if you find the RIGHT one, together you are FRICKIN AWESOME!

  6. Don’t get me wrong guys are in fact one of my favorite things but most of the list… it would be perfect if most of the guys out there did only a quarter of this. Forget doing most of the list i would settle for one or two key things but fact is (or at least where I am) the majority of the guys don’t act the way the list describes.

  7. great list! Great picture of Hugh Jackman… some men are like fine wine, they improve with age… love that men also can have a touch of gray at the temples and it is so distinguishing, women do that and it’s time for another dye job!

  8. Interesting! Sadly and no offense meant, none of the criteria you listed gets on my list. But of course all of us are entitled to our own perception of why men are amazing. Though I can put up a phrase: Men simply cannot exist without us women. We both need each other to exist.

  10. I can’t tell you how many women’s magazines have featured interviews with male celebrities claiming that women are just delicate little angels while men are just big, hairy beasts.

    Um, I’m, sorry, since when are big, muscle-y, hairy men a problem? As much as women think they have problems with society, men deal with as least as many. Men are a crazy-awesome species.

  11. Good list and fair. Nice to see. I doubt a guy could come up with a similarly long list about women. I think #47 should be: They write great blogs. Have a great Saturday Suzie!
