Don't you love when you see your man do something or spring into action and you are just overcome with lust at the fact that he's just such a strong, capable man??
Some context: FI went to the doctor today for a routine physical. He has had this really large/wide mole in the upper regions of where his pubic hair touches (for lack of a better way to describe it) that he wanted to get removed. Well, instead of freezing it off, they numbed the area and ended up cutting it off/out. He didn't stop bleeding completely in the office, so they dressed it really tightly when they thought it had stopped enough and told him to keep pressure on it.
FI is an EMT and soon-to-be doctor and he LOVES first aid supplies (I'm saying...he has a huge first aid kit that has it's own methodically categorized pseudo-backpack. I once left him in Target in the first aid aisle thinking he'd follow me...searching for him a half-hour later I found him in the exact same spot, only loaded down with every conceivable type of first aide dressing, or other accessory). He is the epitome of calm, collected, capable, and amazing under pressure. I've often wished I could see him in action "in the field" when he's on a call. He's also jumped in to traumas in the ER (he's a cardiology tech right now before he starts med school, so some weeks he's in the ED) doing chest compressions for 45 miutes because the med student down there couldn't hang. I think of him being the kind of person who was just BORN to be in the action, saving lives, in charge, capable. But i've never seen it!
So, he goes to undress this huge laceration (and it literally is like, concave where they cut the mole out...it's not good) and it starts bleeding profusely. Blood running down his...well, balls, actuallly...thighs, etc. Like, really really bleeding. He immediately starts calmly telling me exactly what he needs me to go get.
I come downstairs and he's laying naked in the kitchen on his back, holding gauze on the wound and ripping open sterile packaging with his teeth. Sanitizing little tools he has and cleaning up the area, telling me to boil water and get him this idoine wipe or that sterile prep pad. All of this was calm and with one hand, as he methodically dressed his wound to perfection with one hand, all while lying on his back. Using Afrin to stop blood flow to the area (news to me!!) and other first aid tricks.
I just sat there handing him things and wiping up blood from the area thinking "wow, this is kind of hot that he's just so...in control and manly and putting himself back together...with one hand". Too bad the mole was in the location is was...it means he's out of comission until it heals a bit because it was just such a turn on to just see him be so...in-charge-manly. To know he's so capable and I'll be in his strong, fearless, and capable hands if I were ever to be hurt or in need is comforting and so sexy to me. Blood doesn't bother me at all, but if that happened to me I'd kinda stare at it and thinking in a panic "shit, what do I do now???". But not him...he knows what to do and can do it one handed.
What have you seen your man do/does he do on a regular basis that reminds you that he's...mmm..such a man??
Ouch! Yes, my guy is very similar. He is a heavy stainless welder so he comes home with deep burns everywhere, at times, he has come home with half a pant leg burned off. All because he couldn't break his bead *palm face* DUDE you were ON FIRE!!! Overall, DH is very much a guys guy, pretty much most of the male stereotypes apply to him, LOL, which is one of the things that I love about him.
Well, my FI does things that make me think that- but nothing along the lines of repairing a gushing part of his body (although he did chop part of his finger off on my 21st birthday, and went all boy scout on it :] ).
I love the way he is with kids. I think a "real man" knows how to show that side of himself. He's an elementary school teacher, and it just makes me want him even more when he comes home and tells me that the little kids were holding onto his fingers while walking to the bus.
Obviously knowing that he's going to be an amazing father gets me lady parts going ;) it sounds so weird when I write it down! haha
@future_schu: haha no, i get it...doesn't sound weird!! seeing all of their different sides and the potential they have for certain/different things is def. sexy to me (even though we probl won't have kids...i absolutely get what you're saying). the putting-himself-back-tgether thing is just as "real man"-ish to me as being reminded he can be sweet, sensitive, and soft too (like when he gathers our limping labrador in his arms and carries him up the stairs so he doesn't have to watch him struggle. then he gently sets him down into his dog bed and helps him get settled). just when we think they are predictable and typical men, they remind us of all of their many lovable and sexy facets ;)
Tossing his little cousins in the air making them laugh and giggle with glee
Cooking
Fixing something/putting something together
Chasing me around
Showering
Making me happy ;)
Sleeping
Breathing
He knows how to skip rocks.
The most he ever does when he gets mad at me (clearly because he is not listening, I am perfect) is that he says my first name once, very sternly. I think it's hilarious and adorable and very manly and not at all like my parents when they got mad at me.
He knows about war and submarines and building houses and working on a farm. He's only done the last two, but he's a reader.
He loves going to the spa. That's super manly in my eyes. He does not give a lick of thought to what "traditional" men might think of that.
You could pretty much shake a man's junk in his face and he would not blink an eye. Well, he might ask them to move or have fun with the situation because he has a super sense of humour.
Sometimes he gets naked! :D
Basically, everything he does.
My DH is a forest ranger... enough said.
But seriously, carrying a gun, operating a chain saw, tree climbing and operating a chain saw, rescuing an animal...
My favorite imagine is of him in uniform, standing on top of a live bear trap to release it aiming his riffle.
I can't think of anything he does that doesn't fit into this category. He has really high levels of testosterone so I guess that's to blame.. only drawback is the balding that comes with it.
Ahh, I totally get what you're saying. FI is a total "man's man." He's a car enthusiast, loves to get dirty, and is a protector. What I thought I'd be attracted to? No. Lol.
Here are just some quick examples:
The man can fix just about anything, whether it's my car or the sink or the random weird stuff in the kitchen.
He comes home greasy and sweaty. It's just hot. No other words.
The way he looks with my baby sister. She is 7 and like...4'2. He is 6'4. So most of the time, he'll pick her up to talk to her. Or when he's bent down telling her how to do something. It just gets me.
The way he is....6'4. Haha! Totally superficial, but I am 5'10, so a man so much taller than me is sexy as HELL.
The way he holds me when I cry. He held me while I fell apart at my Papa's funeral in November.
Also? It's sexy that he cooks (pretty much always) and is totally secure in everything he does, traditional or not.
The thing that got me right away is that he cooks. Not like just small meals but he cooks holiday turkey dinners etc and he is good at it. He is passionate about it and makes things just for me and takes pride in it.
The other is the way he is with my niece and nephew. When we first started dating he told me he had never really been around any kids and did not know how it would go when he met them. He knows that I am super close with them and try to see them as much as I can atleast a few times a week so he knew that it was important to me. I introduced them after dating for 6 months he was amazing with them. They love him he picks them up and seings them around plays games with them. Most imprtantly he really listens to them. They tell him silly stories about school etc they are 5 and 6 so kindergarten stories but he listens to them and engages in the conversations makes them feel important. I love him for that
Mr.ND is a guys' guy, hunting, fishing, MMA, likes to work out, etc, so it's when he does the out of the ordinary things that I just *swoon* a little :-)
He loves cooking, he gives me the best hugs when I need them, he knows how to just snuggle right up to me at night (and he doesn't like to cuddle, so it just makes me smile when it does it), and seeing him with kids. I've always wanted to be a mom (I'm the oldest of 4 kids and have just always loved babysitting and playing with kids) but he's an only, so being around kids was/is an adjustment for him. But as my friends have kids, he's getting more comfortable with babies, and seeing him make silly faces at them just melts me :-)
Yea, everyday I see him going to work or coming home from work I say MMMMM THATS A MANNNNNN. Lol SO is 6'5 and a police officer. Tall drink of water, that boy. It really gets me when I see him in action or in his car ;) yess.
I have a different definition of "man", I think.
I mean, it's hard not to think of him as a "big strong man" when he towers over me at 6'3 (I'm only 5'3) but the things that make me think of him as a man is when he...
Cooks for me. I love a guy who cooks. Sexy.
Stands up for his beliefs. We're both big into gay rights and it takes a strong person in general to stand up for what they think is right.
When he volunteers. He volunteers at the SPCA and he's so gentle towards all the animals. The fact he volunteers at all is awesome.
When I break down because of my illness, or for that matter when I'm very sick, he takes care of me so well.
I think what makes a "man" isn't whether he chops down trees, or hunts (I actually really hate hunting, lol.) or fixes cars, it's in his deeds and in his attitude. It takes a real man to be strong, supportive, and caring. To hold things together when everything else falls apart. That's what I think, anyway.
Well, the first thing that got me going was the fact that he gets to wear a uniform to work (when hes not working in an office on a detail.) He also gets to carry a gun, its unfortunate that his line of work dooesnt allow me to elaborate but oh is it sexy! He is in law enforcement but his aspirations after this (since he's forced to retire at 55) are to become a Senator, so he watches CNN every single morning.. which is super silly but totally gets me going! He knows everything anyone could possibly need to know about politics. He also has his private pilots liscence, sigh. *swoon*
He's also one of the sweetest most gentle men ever, the only person that doesnt make it worse when im angry and the one that's always trying to make a good day worse! Just yesterday stayed home sick from work, but managed to feel better by the afternoon so while I was working on homework (2nd yr undergrad) he did all of our laundry, and went out to get me mexican food (which I requested, otherwise hes a fabulous cook) and even surprised me with a dr pepper ten! Oh I love him :)
Glad you posted this! Sometimes you forget the reasons that initially attracted you to your man, and just thinking about it brings back so much! Cant wait till he gets home ;)
Hmmm the way he plays a guitar, I love watching him when he's on stage. He cooks! He's soooo amazing in the kitchen and I love when we cook together. He's great with kids and loves animals. He reads as much as I do. I have a lot of family stress right now and he knows exactly what to do when I break down into uncontrollable sobbing fits.
He buys me tampons!! Hahaha and I get super horrible menstral cramps and he doesn't flinch. The moment I say "my girly bits are trying to kill me" hes right there with heating pads, pain killers, Chocolate, hot tea, fluffing pillows and constantly checking up on me to make sure that I have everything I need. Now to me THAT is super sexy.
Oh, and he does all the dishes!! SOOO sexy!
Yeah, there really are so many things about FI that make me think this (especially the fact that he's tall. I'm pretty short but I love long and lean....and he definitely is. He reaches all of the high shelves for me!). Last night I was just so impressed and almost...blushing-and-fanning-my-face status because he just took charge...of his own wound!!!
All of your responses reminded me of all of the other things he does/ways he is that make me think this (every day). Even the way he stretches or the way his bare back curves when he leans over the side of the bed to reach for something off the night stand. I've always loved that. It's such a long, lean, strong man-back. My FI is also a prescise fixer/rigger/putter-togetherer. There's really nothing he can't address, diagnose, and then fix. He assembles everything, he has tenderly shaved the dogs hot spots and rubbed them thrice daily with ointment, patched up wounds on his paws, and more than taken care of me when I've been sick (and he'll buy me tampons too without a second thought!) or after my really bad car accident.
There is nothing I could have, do, expel, or develop that would gross him out or cause him to steer clear (which I know is partly the doctor in him, but at least I know whatever happens to me, he'll always see something way worse/more gross in the hospital). He's so tender with the the dog (and me, obviously) when his hips are bothering him, I love it. I am a huge animal lover and when he does these soft, tender things for our dog it just makes me love him that much more. Hahah, and I'll have to admit, I love the way he'll always softly spank me if he walks buy and I'm either standing with my back to him or bending over. I like to think of it as his little assertion that I'm his. He also will grab my hips to spin me around to face him. Ahh...be still, my heart ;)
I absolutely love seeing FI lift something that I would consider heavy and it doesn't even phase him.
I love that he gets up in the morning for PT and then puts on a uniform and does manual labor all day (most days, some days it's just an office day, but still) and then makes the time to talk to me (I'm stationed in another country) even when he's really tired.
I love how I always feel protected when I'm actually with him, and even when I'm not with him, I love how protective he is. There was one situation when I was in training that I won't go into details about, but I was on the phone with him when it happened so he actually heard it happen and he was pissed for days about it and also upset that he wasn't there for me (totally not his fault, we were stationed in separate states at the time). It was a bad situation but it was nice to know he cared about me so much.
ETA: FI also does the little spank thing too, I love it, haha.
@DaneLady: ohhh the athletes!! I totally get it. FI is a lifetime soccer player, which really adds to that long-and-lean thing I love.
I LOVE THIS THREAD! <3
Things my man does:
He's Australian, I mean he wrestles crocs every day for breakfast hehe (not really, inside joke XD)
We'll be slyly joking around and flirting and he'll give me this look that makes my heart start pounding :3
When we're playing chess he will beat me every time and sometimes within 4 moves (I have yet to beat him at chess and I am not bad at it, he is just so smart its sooooo hot :3 I love nerds)
He bakes the tastiest jumbo chocolate chip cookies <3
He OFFERS to give me massages regularly!
When one of my male friends jokingly flirts with me he hugs me and gives them the death glare, in a playful-but-not way, sort of like "I know you're joking but if you weren't I'd kick your ass" XD
He takes out the trash and does the dishes without complaining!
For one of my friends birthday parties all 4 guys in attendance wrestled shirtless, my man is slim and usually peaceful and calm but he held his own and beat all but one of them.
When he takes off his shirt in general or grows a beard (which takes like 1 day lol) because I love that hair <3
If anyone or anything tries to hurt me he is right there putting himself in the way of any trouble with his calm, quiet firmness.
I adore this man!!!!
Wow, reading this thread and thinking non-stop about FI makes it hard to believe he can actually do things to annoy and piss me off. I'm glad I started this ;) hahah
@akp0702: I loooooove that my FI doesn't have those little bird legs- and I'm sure since yours plays soccer he's got some nice legs :P I love love love B's arms. He is so toned, his shoulders are sex-ay!!
My daughter threw my grandmother's sapphire ring down the bathroom sink and I called my husband crying and flipping out. He came home, calmly opened up the tool kit, got under the sink, removed the piping, handed me the ring, put the pipes back and went back out to finish his errands. Watching him work like that was so sexy haha!
My husband is a big guy with very muscular legs. I call them "horse legs" because they are nothing but muscle from sports, but then he has the belly and a beard which fits in with my whole lumberjack man type. I love a brawny manly man!
ETA: OH and also, my husband holding babies and kittens makes me melt. When our daughter was born, she was so teeny and seeing him hold her was the most disarming thing ever. Also he loves animals and when our kitten would sleep on his chest it was just cuteness overload.
@KatyElle: lol, "like a BOSS!" that's awesome that he came home and just took care of it and back to work. Bam.
Mmmmmmmm-mmmmmm DH has sexy legs too. And a sexy back. Ok, sexy everything.
I also love how he hugs me, like nothing can ever hurt me and he'll always protect me.
I also love how tall he is compared to me (almost a foot!)
Oh! and when he kills bugs for me. Very manly.
I think the most manly times are when he's being very gentle.....there's something incredibly sexy and sweet seeing a man who can throw me over his shoulder or be all tough and strong, holding a little baby in his arms with such gentleness.
Is it quitting time yet?! I want to see my husband now!
I melt when I watch him play with little kids (either his cousins or my BFF's little girls). He's just SO GOOD with them. I love me a man who can't wait to be a daddy. :)
I'm also a big fan of watching him play hockey. Mmm...
@KatyElle: Aww! I love when men have soft spots for animals. I am pretty close to crazy-dog-lady status and I often watch cute labrador/big dog videos on YouTube when I'm bored. Last night I was watching videos of soliders returning home and their dogs greeting them and I showed one of an old golden retriever greeting her mom who had been in Afghanistan and the dog was just crying and crying...I looked over and FI actually had tears in his eyes and said (very frankly) "okay. that's the sweetest thing i think I've ever seen". We absolutely love dogs (especially retrievers) and because our own dog holds such a special place in our hearts and our relationship, he's become so much more passionate about punishments for animal cruelty, donations for shelters, and doing things like signing petitions with me about overturning breed bans here in NC (where the law was trying to impose that certain breeds turned into shelters were immediately euthanized...no opportunity to be adopted or be claimed by families...just turned in and killed).
Here's the video if you're a dog lover and want to tear up a bit:
Hmmm my husband is so damn handy! He already remodeled the kitchen by himself and is working on our bathroom right now. Something about watching him put up drywall and rip out tiles and install cabinets and all that manly stuff...aweeeeeeesome.
Oh god and the animal love. I got my dog from a shelter a few years ago and whoever had her first beat the crap out of her. She's super timid and usually hates men and is basically scared of life. But she took to him right away and he's great with her. My heart just melts when I come home and find them asleep together on the couch.
Oh Lord - so many things.
When he plays volleyball, when he's at the gun range, when he's ripping down drywall, when we're working out, when he's around puppies/dogs . . . .
and when he's tells me that as long as he's alive nothing/no one will ever hurt me.
He's just a flat out sexy manly man. Sigh.
Yesssss it's so cute. And I don't think many things constitute using the word "cute" but a big strong man with a kitten, a puppy or a baby takes the cake.
@KatyElle: hahahahaha
this:
I cannot wait for his version of Carousel to come out. That musical is how DH and I met....not much is more sexy than a big strong guy singing bass songs, lol!
FI and I are actors and when we did shows at our university, we were also required to dissasemble the sets after our final performance. In that aspect, I'm a total tomboy. I bring my dad's drill (because the first set we took apart, the boys wouldn't give me a drill becuase they thought I couldn't handle it... now I bring my own and am asked to do the hard stuff) and I take apart the set like a pro. FI is not usually as handy with a drill, but he lifts large pieces of wood and hops in there to get whatever needs to be done, done. Honestly, striking sets was a major turn on for the both of us because I was being a bad-ass taking apart the set and getting all the tough parts, and he was hauling large pieces around in his plain white tee and blue jeans. Drooooool! Lol.
My FI is a firefighter/EMT and the instant his turnout gear is on I instantly go stupid and get turned on (which is only heighten even more when he comes back from a call smelling in that crazy combo of gasoline-smoke-burning wood). He also is an Eagle Scout so he's go that "Be Prepared" thing going on in the background. He is an absolute sucker for dogs. He's a Mr. Fix-It and mechanic.
But the quality that I appreciate the most is that he is humble - I come from a political world/family where it was always about presentation and flaunting what you can do, but my FI just lets his actions speak for himself. He doesn't waste his breath pontificating what he could/can do, he just does it.
He may not be the man I was raised to marry, but he was the man I chose and I feel so lucky that I'm the one that he chose.
The way he doesn't mind crying (well tearing up) in front of me.
The way he lookswhen he's concentrating and his brow furrows every so slightly.
The way he is with his niece and all kids in general.
How he plays with the cats and gives them love and affection.
When he knows I'm down, he does the most ridiculous sexy dance and tells me he's seducing me using his best sexy voice and I just laugh and laugh.
The way he always grabs all the grocery bags and leaves me holding one even if that means he's holding 5 in each hand. The one he leaves me always has like paper towels or toilet paper in it.
When we're asleep he always rolls over at some point and wraps his arms around me. He mumbles how much he loves me and holds me for while. He does this in his sleep and never remembers it when he wakes up.
There are so many but I think I'll stop there.
The way he fixes things, and he's handy with house stuff, and car stuff.
And my ultimate man thing.. He saved his family (including some of his beloved dogs, they lost some also) from his entire house burning down. He's a hero to everyone that knows him.
My husband is a mechanic, and has an insane upper body because of it. He is very manly, but seeing him playing with our nieces and nephews and pets, makes me melt. Spooning with him is just right, pretty much anything he does everything he can to make my heart melt :)
MY FI is a geek! He is a systems engineer, so I love to see him work on websites and fix computers! He is working on our wedding website now and he just gets SO excited when he figures out a complex flash code or something, it is just the cutest thing, loll!
He is a huge guy at 6'3" and 240 so I love his manly stature and how he engulfs me when we hug! The main thing that makes me dribble at his manhood is how protective he is over me! I live in a basement apartment and I walk through the main front door, one day I came in and my landlady's daughter didnt lock the front door...so he came in and told me to wait outside, while he went throughout the house and made sure everything was where it was supposed to be, lol! It felt really good knowing I am marrying a man that will always put my safety first. I love him!!
