Come on boy's and girl's can you add to this list?

[boxtops]

You haven't added anything vital like having a good woman in his life!

[boxtops]

13 is very old-fashioned though - these days, OH does the cooking for me, after the stressful work day....

[missprim]

I don't know this for sure boxtops but I would say your OH is in the minority.

*Being in love with a woman who enriches his life*

[missprim]

Come on men, tell us what makes you happy.
Not that I'm that bothered.

[zebo]

Don't know about men, but I like 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 14!

[boxtops]

I wouldn't do it any other way, missprim - he irons his own shirts, too :-)

[grasscarp]

This reminds me of something I read about the woman wants the man to be caring and considerate and understanding etc while to be equally happy a man just wants her to turn up naked!

[venator]

Am I missing a joke here somewhere?

[emmie]

ladies what makes us happy i wonder

1. seeing his team win, then he's happy for a change
2. vacation on a tropical island, alone
3. not driving a cabriolet or any car, that's a pointless exercise
4. drinking a glass of good red wine, sitting watching a sunset on a Mediterranean island, a la shirley valentine
5. not caring the washing machine has broken down, as getting in that handsome engineer is much more entertaining
6. being clean and tidy, that's a personal problem some men choose to ignore
7. teaching one's children to read, and enjoy books for their own sake
8. having no goals, most are pointless, let it come as it may, and the ones you do achieve, be happy about
9. no gadgets, they are the devils spawn
10 walking through a country lane, on a bright crisp autumn day
11 being good to yourself, then you can be better at helping others
12. fireplace roaring, glass of wine, and a good book, with no one around
13. He does the cooking, cleaning up after, so you can be at ease.
14 being in charge of the remote control, carry it with you at all times

[venator]

Still not laffing - the original joke had a punchline...

[emmie]

venator, why should there always be a punchline.

[venator]

A joke should make you laugh. Perhaps I'm just a miserable old goat. I shall go out into the murky morning, and chew something until I feel better.

[emmie]

who said it was a joke,
nothing funny about men dangling their bits, whilst you are trying to read a good book.
or seeing him fall over the mat drunk as a sack, especially when he didn't invite you to the pub.

chew on something i should say so.

[venator]

It's posted in the Jokes section, following on from the very funny "come naked" post.

Answerbank isn't the place for nitpicking, though (not much!!!!)

[venator]

Maybe nitpicking makes me happy - ha ha <];-))

[emmie]

not nitpicking, why would you think that, i know when was with o/h he wasn't into sports, was a good cook, and could sew, and iron clothes better than me. Wasn't afraid of a challenge, and was in general a hard working, decent man, doesn't mean to say us ladies don't like a break now and then.

[Old_Geezer]

If I knew what made men happy I'd not be such a grumpy old geezer.
Richard Wilson (aka Victor Meldrew) was "on hold" the other night pointing out many of the things we endure that spoil our chance of happiness.
