What brings JOY to men?

[CherryLove007]

I am doing a study on this topic and need many contributors please. Thank you for your help. Anything you wish to share that's as simple as your days joys or overall pleasures of happiness. Short answers are awesome.

For me the joy of seeing my wife become satisfied in her passion instead of working in a field she trained hard for was let down by the employment she ended up getting so was able to quit and start her own small business in a very male dominated industry.

Then there's my dog, he brought me much joy and happiness even though he was not a pet but a Husky who lived with us.

My family too when they have success brings me joy.

Things I do that bring me joy are when I am riding my bike and listening to some music that lets me escape and be free from the general grind of life.

[CherryLove007]

oh how wonderful your a supportive husband... what small business if I can ask?

[Shiprex]

She made her small bicycle repair shop in a small town we live in in Sweden. It's been given some national attention and she has a MASSIVE local reputation.

[CherryLove007]

wow wow... go girl!!! That's a very important shop to own.

[Shiprex]

LOL yeah she is "famous" locally because she isn't from Sweden and folk know this yet she gets messages and visits from folk 100s of km away BECAUSE it's a girl run bike mechanic workshop.

Helping people. . Making something work out if nothing
seeing people smile
giving to someone that needs it just because I have it and I can

Experiencing things for the first time
Learning new things
completing something they say can't be done,
Pleasing
Being happy all the time
Walk by someone and see them smile
Riding dirt bikes
Boats
Having a good friend.
Or a girl friend
Having a good role play on line
Food
Meeting new people
All kinda things

Some of my friends revealed the opinion "if their boyfriend is happy they do something wrong". Personally I'm not that sinister but I don't really care about men's joy.

A lot of things bring joy to men’s lives. Something as simple as watching a funny movie by yourself or watching funny YouTube videos brings me a lot of happiness. I’m happy when I can provide experiences to my wife, my family of things they’ve never done, seen or been to. When she cooks for me. I think men are pretty simple. So long as your partner isn’t a hurricane of a mess always trying to argue with you. I think a lot of women tend to make us men seem more complicated then we really are by using their emotions to think about how we think or act. I love helping people. Feeling needed. Just sitting at home enjoying dinner w family watching a sporting even or a good movie.

My go-to is standup comedy. I really only feel “joy” when i’m laughing and there aren’t as many jokers in my life as there were in the past. Great spontaneous humor is another level entirely. I immediately want to befriend someone who can actually make me laugh aloud.

[CherryLove007]

Thank you and I really am a big lover of laughter and comedy too.. Laughter is infectious and stress relieving. I enjoy witty sarcastic comedy. Any Netflix standup you can recommend me today that you enjoy?

[Chazmatazz269]

Nothing new. I haven’t had Nerdflix for a few years.
I just watched Iliza Schlesinger on Hulu or Prime recently though. She was good. There are actually a lot of comics using youtube for exposure right now. So you’re bound to see someone new there.

[CherryLove007]

ok thanks
I just got Hulu so I will check her out

Feeling useful and loved. Spending time with friends and loved ones.

[CherryLove007]

nice, helping others is very purposeful

[bowenw]

Having a sense of purpose is a good feeling.

[CherryLove007]

thank you for your answer and I couldn't agree more.

Well for my joy, many things , the crisp coolness of a bright fall morning, my kids, hearing the sounds of world war 2 aircraft engines as they pass over head. My cat, music , all kinds, writing, thats a short answer if you need more let me know

[beefcakebradybatson]

To me#olderblackboyjoy is about this boyishly handsome 72-year-old black cowboy's ogling and hoping to club a buxom blonde !!!

[jahaims]

Depends on the guy. My family brings me the most joy.
