When you wave, smile, or wink at a passing toddler.

But sometimes we see through all that.

Yes, youre a strong, rough mans man.

How do we know?

When you wave, smile, or wink at a passing toddler.

Men just dont typically pay attention to babies.

We know, you tend to be focused on tasks, not humans, andespeciallynot mini-humans.

Oh, we love you for that, you adorable man, you.

(We know you hate the word adorable, but we still think it about you anyway.)

When you make computer game sounds when you think no ones around.

Or you do theMario Cartstarting line sound.

Youre totally into it, and completely unguarded, and we think thats unbelievably cute.

When you get all gooey over tiny fuzzy babies.

Or anything soft and fuzzy and sweet.

When you cant dance, but you join us on the dance floor anyhow.

We know, you guys hate to feel incompetent at anything.

And dancing can be kind of a giant unknown.

Thanks for coming out just to dance with your woman.

HUGE points, dude.

When you take a stab at hide the fact that amoviemade you cry.

It lets us know you have a tender side, you great manly thing.

It shows us youre strong enough to let Elliots heartbreak over ETs death get to you.

We dig that about you.

When you tie your hair back.

Btw, some of us secretly fantasize about a guy doing this while wearing a kilt.

Just so you know.

When you roll up your shirtsleeves.

Why are mens wrists so damn sexy?

Why should we fall into a sex-glazed hypnotic stare when a man rolls up his shirtsleeves?

The world may never know.

When you accidentally zone out while staring at us.

It gives us happy sighs, really.

We hope you still do it when were eighty.

When you stumble and stutter over asking us out.

The truth is that most of us abhor the smooth pick-up artist types.

With me, I mean.

If you wanted…

We could just eat you right up, you adorable, tasty morsel.

When you get all nerdy about something you love.

You get so animated and passionate!

We take a mental Polaroid of that moment because we find it utterly charming.

When we walk in and you do a double take.

We love it when you find us beautiful.

We love it when we knock the breath out of you.

We love it when youre so riveted by our presence in your space that you have to look again.
