Guys like toys. That’s not a creative way of saying men need to grow up. That’s just a statement of fact. Something about cars, video games, and even actual toys that are collector's items just appeals to the male mind. So if you see your man acting like a 10-year-old over a doll (excuse us--action figure), give him a small nod that says you get it. Next time you worry about what to give him on a special day, get him something he can play with. For as a game console ad once said, “To him it’s like a dozen long-stemmed roses.” So to understand the male mind a little better, view the gallery below to learn more about our love for toys.
