If You Have a Guy, Brag On Him

Boards are often the place to complain and gripe about men, but sometimes we forget they have good qualities, too. If you currently have a guy in your life, tell us some good things about him. Let's see the positive side of our guys today. :-)
My fiance and I have been together almost 4 years. We've had some really ups and downs but we've climbed, crawled and pushed our way through them. We've learned a lot about each other, but we're a lot happier today and I'm glad I stuck it out. Here's a few of the reasons why:
He'll eat anything I cook and tell me how good it is and thank me for it.
He'll rescue daddy long-leg spiders out of the shower because he knows I don't like to see them washed down the drain. LOL
He'll do laundry and hang the clothes outside on the line because he knows I'm trying to save money on electricity.
He takes time for everyone in his life, sometimes to the point of stressing himself out.
He's good at saying please and thank you.
He enjoys doing simple little things with me. We just enjoy each other's company.
So, now it's your turn. What kinds of things does your guy do that makes him special?

Good post. WE do gripe about our men a lot, and we forget to share the love also. So, here's mine.
I love that he emails me every morning to say "ILY".
I love that when he sees me, all he wants to do is hug me, even when I'm trying to put my stuff down, or walk around, or well, anything.
I love that we like the same foods. And I love that he doesn't complain when we don't go to Mexican enough (He LOOOOVES mexican food).
I love that we golf together. And have fun, even if we suck that day.
I love that I'm a priority in his life.
and lastly, I love that he is willing to do new things, and/or hard things (for him) to make our r'ship that little bit better for US.

What a great idea and topic ... here goes my list!
- I love that he has a lot of talents and interests, and that he's willing and wants to share them with me. He's teaching me to golf, and he's so patient with it. As well, that he wants to take an interest in my interests and be open to them, too.
- I love that he inspires me to do more and challenges me in a positive way ... example, he's a great skier and I'm a intermediate snowboarder ... but, when we went to the mountains a couple times this season ... he encouraged me to take steeper runs and get better, faster ... was never like "c'mon, keep up!" or made me feel like I was slowing him down ... he encouraged me in such a positive way that was when I was like "gosh, I LOVE this man!"
- I love that he loves my dogs and is so playful with them.
- I love that he sings to me.
- I love that he'll give me back rubs without me having to ask for it.
- I love that we can enjoy each other's company no matter what we're doing ... whether we just laying on the couch watching a movie or doing something out and about.
- I love that his words match his actions. That if he says he's going to call or needs to call me back, he does (just one example). I can only think of ONE time in almost a year that he didn't do what he said he was going to do. Pretty impressive.
- I love that when we go out ... either alone or with other people ... that he'll always ask me if there's anything I need or want (if he's ordering a drink or something) before he orders for himself. He thinks of me first ... I don't expect this at all ... it's just sweet that he does. Or, even if we're just at home ... if he gets up from the couch to get something for himself ... he'll ask me if there's anything I need from the kitchen (or wherever). It's considerate.
Anyhoo, those are just a few things. :)
GREAT IDEA!
I love that he still opens my car door for me even when I'm the one driving.
I love that we never can stay upset with each other.
I love that he understands when I'm having a bad day and feeling nuerotic and insecure, even though I know it's kind of har don him.
I love that he's NEVER been one of those guys that wasn't "into PDA".
I love that he cares about people.
I love that he's in the service not because it's macho but becasue "It's something I'm good at and can handle that a lot of people can't so I should do it."
I love that we're so "on the same page".
I love that he loves my big slobbery golden retriever and never even complained when he got a cold wet nose to the bum in the middle of sex.
I love that he doesn't call sex, "making love", personal pet peeve.
Do you guys have a like a day or two? :)
<< I love that he loves my big slobbery golden retriever and never even complained when he got a cold wet nose to the bum in the middle of sex.>>
That's so funny cuz that's happened to us too! We just laughed about it. It's like "oopps, the kids are in the room!"
This is a great idea, ddnlj... I haven't been really active on the board lately, but I had to jump in and brag on my guy too!!!
I like that he does the dishes if and when I cook.
I like that he's very family-oriented and helps me to be more so.
I like that he is overly good looking and the sexiest man in the world to me.
I like that he will step 'outside his box' in ways of thinking sometimes...and causes me to do so too.
I like that he tells me how pretty I am...especially when he calls me 'pretty girl' with that sweet smile on his face.
I like that he lets me plants whatever flowers I want ...in his yard (and then he helps take care of them)!
I like that we have a high level of respect between us.
I like that we are both very appreciative of each other.
I like that we can be busy, or do nothing at all and still enjoy each other's company.
I like it all.... a lot!!!

Fabulous post!! As a self-confessed negative thinker, I'm very appreciative of this post, just because it makes me focus on the positive things about my dbf.. And there are many!!
Just a few...
* i love when I'm in the middle of being grumpy at him for something, he sits there trying not to laugh, which in turn makes us both completely collapse into giggles.. I love being able to laugh with him!
* i love that he enjoys going out and doing things like going out for dinner, going for random drives, weekends away, etc etc.. So many of my friends dbfs & dh's do nothing but sit in front of the tv doing nothing..
* i love when I am particularly stressed he can give me the world's best hug and I can literally FEEL the stress melting away..
* i love when I wake up in the middle of the night with him cuddling me
* i love that he thinks my snoring is cute!!
* i love that, even though he's not the most outgoing of people, he lets me dress him up in bizarre costumes for a few fancy dress parties we've been to recently..
* i love that he is aware of many many doubts I have (self doubts, relationship doubts, everything doubts) and he loves me and puts up with me and sticks with me through it all!
* i love when he sings to me..
* I love that just being with him makes me want to be a better person... and that he loves me exactly as i am and thinks i am too hard on myself..
*sigh.. i've gone all gooey & warm & fuzzy now!!
What an excellant post!!! We never hear the good sign of our SO's, only the bad!!!!
*I love how he calls me everynight before I go to bed
*I love how he always says "love you" before we say goodbye
*I love how my smelly feet does not gross him out ( nothing about me grosses him out )
*I love how he calls me sweetheart
*I love how he asks about my day and listens
*I love how he cares alot about his Mom & Sister and is there for them when they need him
*I love how we have great sex! ( ha ha sorry- had to say it! ).
