What men want Want to know what makes him happy, girls? Helen McNutt on the 50 things that make his heart sing When trying to work out what makes men tick, it’s important to understand that what men really want is different from what women want them to want. For example, few men will get excited about watching the latest BBC costume drama, but they’ll be enraptured by the plasma screen it’s being shown on. And if they’re being really honest, they’ll admit to rather liking being cooked and cleaned for — preferably by a woman with fantastic breasts. That said, although some of their wants are undeniably a bit disappointing, some are surprisingly sweet, and it’s worth remembering that happy men generally want their women to be happy, too. To paraphrase the fabulous Mae West: too much of a good thing can be wonderful — for both of you.
TO START WITH
1 An Aston Martin DB9.
2 A Coutts World card.
3 To sit next to a bored, horny Angelina lookalike on a transatlantic flight.
4 Not to be laughed at in his beachwear.
5 A remote control that only he can work.
6 A den.
7 Breasts.
8 Not to be referred to as cute or cuddly by the opposite sex.
9 His kids to be the most popular in school.
10 A private pilot’s licence.
11 Corporate hospitality tickets to the Ryder Cup.
IN LIFE
12 Risk — every now and then. It can be sexual (for example, lap dancing), financial (such as gambling) or physical (blindfolded hang-gliding, anyone?).
13 Fulfilment — for him to achieve his goal in life and have a woman who supports him doing so.
14 To be the funniest, sexiest, richest man in the room — to be referred to as a “naughty boy” by the women in his office, a “top bloke” by the men and a “gentleman” by elderly female relatives.
15 Beer.
16 Acknowledgment — whether he got a pay rise or won at squash, he needs to know that his woman is proud. This is especially important for testosterone tasks such as shelves, barbecues or getting one past his brother in goal.
17 Peace and quiet — when he answers that he’s not thinking about anything, he’s probably not: no deeper answers need wheedling out. Also, respect for his need for time alone every day.
FROM HIS RELATIONSHIP
18 To be loved.
19 To be her hero, to look after her and make sure she’s safe and that her basic needs are met.
20 To know what she wants — making his woman happy is one of his primary aims. She needs to let go of the assumption that he can mind-read and get specific about what she wants in a non-demanding way. Crucially, to let him know that she thinks he’s more than capable of providing her with it.
21 To be proud of his woman — it doesn’t matter whether it’s bringing up his kids or being the first woman in Europe to hold the job she does, he wants to boast about her.
22 A trustworthy partner — not just with regards to fidelity; he also wants someone he can share his most embarrassing secrets with, who’s reliable and will be there for him.
23 For her not to go on and on about the fabulous night out she had with her gorgeous male friend.
24 His mates to fancy her.
25 His parents to love her.

26 To be allowed to hold a baby without his woman telling him how — in fact, for her never to contradict him or put him down in front of his friends.
27 Not to have a shouty girlfriend — that’s right, take a deep breath and count to 10... because men really hate being shouted at. Plus, if she does it all the time, her yelling will have lost its impact for those times when it really is justified.
28 For his woman to look good — he doesn’t expect a supermodel, but he wants her to make the best of herself and make an effort for him. Nothing makes a man feel more mis-sold than a woman who lets herself go.
29 For her to occasionally dress to please him — it could be the Christmas outfit he bought her or simply her sluttiest stilettos. Men love playing stylist when they get to have a woman looking like they’ve always wanted.
IN THE BEDROOM
30 His woman to want sex instead of reading before she switches off the light.
31 To have his woman slow things down against his will — the perception that all men want is harder, faster is a myth. Men want suspense and skill just as much as women do.
32 To be the best lover she’s ever had.
33 To be touched unexpectedly — whether it’s a slap across his bottom as he walks out the door or a peck on the cheek while he’s reading, he needs to know his woman fancies him.
34 For her to act out one of his fantasises — without him asking.
35 Threesomes, but with two women, not another man.
36 Authenticity — for her not to pretend that she’s cool with just sex if really she’s after a relationship. And for her never to fake it.
37 To be reassured that technique matters more than size — and to be told in a positive, nonpatronising way exactly what that technique is.
38 Every now and then to be able to proudly and rightfully accuse his woman of being a pervert.
39 To be hit with every sexual cliché in the book. This includes going out without underwear, turning up at his house in nothing more than stockings, suspenders and trench coat, raunchy text messages and depraved invitations whispered in crowded places.
40 To be kidnapped in his lunch hour, accompanied to the nearest hotel, taken full advantage of and returned in time for his afternoon accounts meeting.
41 The primary activity of a minibreak to be sex not sightseeing.
42 Female friends he sleeps with not to get weird afterwards. To him it was probably just sex, and he doesn’t need a chat about where it is going. She just needs to refer to it jokingly once, then forget about it. NB The joking reference should have nothing to do with his manhood.
43 Brazilians.
FOR HIMSELF 44 To be a powerful person — not necessarily a world leader, but the type of man who makes things happen. And who has the toys to match
45 To come across as masculine not macho. He might want to blub while watching It’s a Wonderful Life, but that doesn’t stop him going down the pub afterwards to talk footie with his mates.
46 To be listened to without being advised. To a man, being given unasked-for advice is like being told he’s a failure.
47 Not to have to choose between his mother and his woman — guess who always wins in the end? Plus, his mother is responsible for his very existence. That’s got to be worth the odd Sunday lunch.
48 Not to be expected to notice the details. Supersubtle highlights, weight losses in increments of less than five pounds, new cushion covers . . . to him they’re irrelevant.
49 For his woman to be grateful for the flowers he bought — even if they’re screaming “garage forecourt”. Likewise, if he ever writes her a poem, she shouldn’t, under any circumstances, laugh.
50 A woman who loves getting drunk — but who isn’t an alcoholic and who won’t have a tearful hangover the next day.
