As a female well past her prime, I feel that it’s time I shared my theory on the happiness of men. This theory has been developed from my observations of men gathered over 40 years of marriage, work and adult social life. Men have simple needs and wonder why we women don’t follow their example of avoiding complications at all costs.
All my research suggests that for a man to be happy, or at the very least content, he needs four (4) or five (5) amusements. Strangely, it appears they all begin with ‘F’.
A pretty common set of male interests. But not all males are the same. Another combination might be:
or perhaps.....
Fixing things
but don’t ask when it will be finished
Fine arts
pursuits such as photography, music, woodwork, restorations, theatre, painting, philosophy
Free time
“doing nothing” - and they really mean it
There is one more very popular item – which has slipped my mind. However, I do remember that it has to be regular and not too fancy.
PS - Apparently there are also men whose list includes fighting, fists, firearms obsession and full control – fortunately they are rare and I, thankfully, don’t know any.
Have I missed any?
I sure have. Check out more posts coming soon
