Does anyone have an idea for a short story that a guy would like to read?

Question

Since I'm not a terrible writer, I usually write short stories for all my friends birthdays. All the ones previous to this have been girls, and since I'm a girl, it's easier to know what they'd like to read. But now my guy friend's birthday is coming in less than a month. I want to write him a story as well, but I'm coming up blank. He likes music, stuffed animals, the vegetarian lifestyle, poptarts... I'm just throwing random things out; maybe that'll help. =D

Suggestions?

Answer 1

Just look at the movies that guys like and that will give you some good ideas.

Ask your friend what his favorite movies are and write your story with that in mind.

If he likes movies like MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, then he wants to be the Hero who saves the day and gets the girl.

If he likes movies that are typically called 'chick flicks', then it's possible he likes less action and more dialogue.
