What Men Really Want

Ladies, let’s cut through the noise. Around 50, I’m spilling what guys actually want—gifts, style, or grooming that hit the mark. This section’s for women who want to nail it, whether it’s a birthday or just because. Expect gift ideas that won’t gather dust (think leather journals, not novelty mugs), plus insights on what makes men feel seen. It’s not about stereotypes—it’s about thoughtful choices. From my life with Maren in Connecticut, I’ll share what works: quality over flash, practical over gimmicky. Whether you’re shopping for a 30-year-old bachelor or a 65-year-old retiree, this is your guide to picking winners. Let’s make your next gift or gesture one he’ll actually love, because getting it right feels as good for you as it does for him.
