Hetero Man: what does he want, anyway?
Cats: slack woman|Besides sex, a full head of hair, sex, a fast car, sex, beer, sex, a barbecue on steroids, sex and a multi-function easy chair in front of a large-screen television with lots of sports channels on it?
Does he want to be burly and hirsute? Or buffed and waxed?
Does he prefer denim overalls and workboots or designer shirts and styling shoes?
Does like the company of women or would he prefer solitude in his man cave?
Does he want hair and skin products or 10W40 and duct tape?
What does he want? Go here for more.

I think it’s important to make a rural / urban distinction. There aren’t too many ‘pretty’ men in rural Canada.
When I go to the city I can spend hours watching all the pretty men walking down the sidewalks.
When I buy clothing I look for inexpensive and practical and spend as little time shopping as is humanly possible. No hair gel nor perfumes. I have to rely on the kindness of others to tell me I have sleep in my eyes or a smiggley, because I never look in a mirror.
What do I want?
I think it depends on the individual. I think generally people who have little depth want to look nice. Preened man seeks preened woman.
People (like me) can’t be bothered with all that preening and prefer women who aren’t sculpted out of the latest fashion.
I don’t know why women shave or why they pluck and preen, but this is about men.
Preening can be bad too. I’ve known a few people who have passed up on social activities because their hair didn’t look right or because they haven’t had time to preen some other part of their body.
In summary, I want people to be themselves, and be comfortable with themselves, as that allows me to be comfortable around them. I actively avoid painted ladies and pretty men.

I think men want to fart and belch without anyone rolling their eyes. At least that’s what it seems like in Yard Ape land.

Sometimes we just need to be held. Stop laughing… it’s true. Men care less about being deeply loved than we do about being enjoyed. Love is work and we know it. But, sometimes we prefer to know that even if you didn’t love us you might still like us!

Come on Dan, you’re letting the side down. I agree with Rowan and Dick and YAM … throw in a few nice pots and chefs knives … a case of nive NZ Pinot Noir, a sunset, and a maybe a pair of tickets to a PKA title fight … try us?! The thing is it changes daily … a bit like the fruit available in a tropical rainforest … woooo woooo

OK it’s time for a dose of reality. Studies show that when shown pictures of people having sex, males and females respond differently (duh!)
Women look first at the nasty bits, then scan the photo, looking at the activty(ies) taking place. The boorish, sex crazed men look at…
Wait for it…
The face of the woman in the picture – so whose the insensitive, sex-crazed sex in reality?
Guilty as charged on all other counts though Your Honour (The full head of hair, fast car, beer, barbecue on steroids, and a multi-function easy chair in front of a large-screen television with lots of sports channels on it charges)(Mmmm… alone in New York – farting and belching at will)

OMFG – Who’s, not whose (so who is a pedant now?)

I’m sure the evolutionary psychologists would have an explanation for that, TB – the women in your studies are looking at what’s being done, men at the response to what is being done… and this says more about the men than the women…
- but in the end, as our commentators have made clear, it all boils down to the farting, belching and beer. These are the true desires of the men, no?

True – they are indeed the true desires. The evolutionary psychologists said it comes down to assessing sexual arousal – a women just needs to look below the belt, while a man needs to study a woman’s face very carefully. Gotta go now – need beer…

Togs, the farting and belching of Hetero Man can always be forgiven if the farter and belcher is also cooking up fab food with those knives and pots, and serving up that lovely NZ wine.

Farting, belching, and beer aren’t so much desires as they are standards. That’s like saying we desire to breathe.
We may however desire women who think it’s cute, or even sexually arousing.

There must be a farting and belching olympics somewhere, probably in a Nordic country.
