On the whole, I don't believe that most men like being appreciated in the same ways that women do.

How do gentlemen like being appreciated? The reason why I ask is where I live, IHMO, men are treated poorly.

This is because most men deserve it.

I am still not quite sure of the context. Do you mean one on one, like you with a friend or SO. Or do you mean like the girls taking a small group of guys out . . or are we talking awards banquet now?
The answers for each would be different.

Well, give us ladies your answers for each of them:
1) one on one
2) with a friend/SO
3) Girls taking a small group of guys out--especially that one--who, what, where, when and why...
4) Awards Banquet--like if you could actually attend the ESPN ESPY Awards Show or the Las Vegas Porn Show...
This is NOT about dating, it is more about, if a group of GROWN WOMEN could show her special "ADULT" men a good time, what would THAT BE? In your opinion...
Hey, if it has never happened to you, that's fine, without getting vulgar, what would be your fantasy?

Okey,
My husband said if there was one place I could take him to have a good time, that would be "go kart" racing... Then he can practice his driving skills uninhibited...
Because he said that to me, and I know he has driven the Mercedes AMG Challenge for 3 years, I asked how come he just doesn't go to that? He knew when the next one was in 2008 in our area, which means that, guess what, I will buy him is advance course to take...
What do you GC Fellas like to do and if your woman or women got you those kinds of activities, what would you think about it?

I hate to sound repetative, but Senusret pretty much summed it up. To his list, I would add "guy movies."
You could add a few qualifiers to his list:
- Don't make me have to get dressed up.
- Don't make me have to make small talk.
- Don't throw out the idea of food and then let it turn out to be something useless like finger sandwiches or something heinous like brownies made with saccharine instead of sugar and carob instead of chocolate -- yes, that happened to me once. I did not feel honored.
I guess I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "honored." To be honest, I think most guys don't particularly want to feel "honored." Appreciated, yes, but "honored" sounds a little embarrassing.
To follow on the example you gave, my wife gave me a bunch of passes/gift certificates for a local movie theater, with the condition that I could not use them to go to a movie with her or the kids. They were to be used only for going to movies with "the guys" or alone to see the bloody or sophomoric stuff.

i guess paying close attention to some of the things we consider "silly" can always lead to something they can appreciate.
my fiance loves three things: his occupation (chef), Audi's, and music. his last gift from me was a monogrammed chef jacket like Emeril wears on his show. it was super expensive, plus the cost of mongramming, but his face lit up like christmas morning. his past gifts have been stuff with Audi on it, and a few music festivals. if he mentions something, i make a mental note that he does/doesnt like it, and try to go from there.

Yeah, Idk about being honored, but in the past, i've shown guys that I appreciate them by making them go out with the boys or going with him to the movies to see things he wants to see.
I got one of my ex's who was a football fanatic, the ESPN Scene it (I had to look EVERYWHERE for it, it took me weeks to find it (around christmas time))
My step mom- for my dad's 50th bday is having a big party for him, but for his REAL gift, is taking him to sonoma wine country and renting him a harley to ride down the california coast, and he's going to ride by himself. When he was 18, he went from Kansas to california on the back of his motorcycle, so she thought it would be a nice throwback, I'm so excited for him!

Uh, Delta Tau Delta is a fraternity. We are men. Ike Turner is not a member.
