I would doubt that sex is in the number one spot.

What is "winning" about? Door prizes? Chook raffles? Just having something happen that you hoped to happen in life? I only want to win some lovely lady's heart ..... (insert sound of vomiting hehe) I agree with the first two but in no order, but I would label sex under the category of intimacy, which itself is a form of comfort based on needs at any one time. If anything, the male writer proved in his writing that men (at least himself) are simple... I'd like to see his full thesis on this :)

Intimacy, food and companionship, whether its with his friends, his partner, kids or pets.

Haha apparently so? Winning I think is in reference to achieving, scoring, finishing along with the more literal term. Interestingly this guy writes books about explaining how men work and has a Phd in psychology.

I'm sure he would! And you forgot shopping, gossiping, what to do during PMS and how to answer "does my butt look big in this?" 😉 Where are all the men? I would love to hear from some more guys - is this you or do you find the writer insulting? Does it take more to satisfy you or are you a "simple" creature?

those 3 things cover it pretty well - but I see them as incredibly broad - how much of your life comes under "winning" or success, and what 'success' is to you? is it "doing what you like"? - How much can be summarised as "comfort" - or absence of being above a threshold level of discomfort about things. "sex" - are you getting enough? which doesn't really say much about it - plenty of sex could just mean you're a hip-thrust robot and it isn't making you happy, but maybe being strapped under a latex frame and looking like Han Solo in carbonite might be your thing and doing that once a year keeps you happy... I agree that "simple" is often presented as something that is bad or lesser, I don't think it necessarily is, why should things be made more complex than they need to be? Complexity doesn't necessarily make it better. You could make it even simpler, a man's mood revolves around "happiness" - that says everything and nothing. (without knowing the source article, I don't want to make a comment about the author/original article - look at the hatchet job done in the reporting of that "bi's make better husbands/lovers" book)

Actually we're even simpler. Give me plenty of good sex and winning doesn't matter a jot. And I can actually go a fair time without food too!

Men are either hungry or horny. If he doesn't have an erection, make him a sandwich :)

...re 1. We think about sex all the time...even when it looks like we are paying attention to witty repartee or narratives of emotional torment and anguish ...re 2. we think about food when we are temporarily exhausted during a marathon...these are called rest-stops...the rest of the time we are thinking about sex ...re 3. after we experience sexual and culinary fulfillment, while appearing to be engaged in post-coital intimacy, we dwell on what we should've done with our lives in order to enjoy a more luxurious lifestyle...then we start thinking about sex again ...this post is in-part to take some of the heat off Summer Solstice for daring to voice a pretty fair approximation of...well...she said it. BTW...my doctorate's in Social Justice

"... well-being and happiness revolve around three things: 1) Sex 2) Food/comfort 3) Winning " He pretty much summarized the whole human race. but complication begin when they can't have one or more of these. (Ms)

Quoting 'SoftandCurious' I'm sure he would! And you forgot shopping, gossiping, what to do during PMS and how to answer "does my butt look big in this?" 😉 Where are all the men? I would love to hear from some more guys - is this you or do you find the writer insulting? Does it take more to satisfy you or are you a "simple" creature? I would like to think that as we get older or our life circumstances change that the things that make us happy also change. Sex makes anyone happy I think, not just men. For me the 3 things would be: 1. Seeing my children grow up being happy 2. Enjoying my life with friends and family3. Loving my soulmate

to a point with SOTL.If you made those 3 categories very broad and inclusive, you would pretty much cover the requirements. But as mentioned, that would also cover all of the population, not just males. Looking at most of the contributions already, if you look at them in a broad spectrum, they would all fall into one of the 3 categories.

Don't forget that Stirry has been treated to some of the roadhouses best meals over the years in his career, so his taste buds are probably stuffed by now anyway. Probably not much left in the way of preferences for him to meet his expectations. Tall

Having spent much of my life in male dominated environments, can honestly say that men are pretty simple creatures. Make sure there is beer in the fridge, a Sunday roast, let them watch sports on TV (in peace and quiet), let them buy their toys and tools.... Simples!!!

I'd say these three things can pop up over the others in different stages of life. As kids food comes first and then sex. And when you're young sex comes first and you don't feel hungry! When you're middle aged success comes above the other two. Then again when you're successful you'll want sex (when you're head hair falls but still the heart is young). It's not that simple after all.

That article sounds like something from a trashy mag you get at the supermarket checkout and should be pulped. For me the important things to keep me really happy are humour, personality, intelligence, curiousity about the world and self. Not necessarily in that order. PS Sex, food, and sport is also important 😊

To get all 3 would be more than enough so long as the sex included intimacy and a deep connection and understanding Who's not a fan of food, I don't want to be waited on though winning meaning things are going to plan or reaching goals what more is there?

...to say that if it was only Sex (Yippee!), Food and Winning, life would be so simple and so nice. But these days, what with NSA's, Tinder and other hook up apps, etc., you only get to see a man for Sex and then he poofs! disappears and doesn't even stay around for Food. In this day and age of the 0.5 min hookup via Tinder, there's a general trend of just getting what you want and then doing the disappearing act before anything else happens. Blink and you'll miss it. "I remember the boobs, pussy, penis but can't remember their face (s) and don't know much about them but that doesn't matter because all I wanted was sex and I got it!" Huge trend towards being fleeting, evasive and restless, which doesn't create meaningful encounters beyond casual sex. The needs may be simple, but the means of fulfilling and meeting those needs have just become unconventionally complicated and leaves much to be desired. In my past relationships, there was plenty of sex and then there was a shared enjoyment of food. Having those basic needs met meant we could both then focus on our career and create prosperity. These days, men don't stay around long enough for any meaningful encounters. A wise man would make one grounded and wise woman very happy, and that will then ensure a very steady and plentiful supply of Sex and Food, which then puts him in the right frame of mind to Win all his battles. There! The solution is so simple! Just make one good woman happy, and her oyster opens up to you, and you get to keep the pearl! :D Just my two cents worth. ;)

I am in 100% agreement... this world is way to swept up with the now... instant gratification... why not explore the joys of shared conversation... great food... perhaps great wine... look into the other person's eyes and see what goes on in there... connect. Anticipation is a big part of life... as is appreciation... the after is just as wonderful as the present... LIFE is better by complexity and depth. Never the shallow path for me... even if it often means the meal on the table (metaphor) may be absent for periods of time.

I'd certainly agree with,"to be honest, women massively over-complicate men typically. It blows my mind. All of the perceived complications are there because people have a terrible ability to separate emotions from reality. They relate simple as being insignificant and complicated as being normal." I'd make one adjustment, for me it's, 1) Sex 2) Food/comfort 3) Adventure.
