All guys are different, and all problems require different distractions. For one guy, pro football tickets may be the cure-all for anything, while for others it would be a huge waste of money and time. Likewise, If your guy is just grumpy after work and is really tired and hungry, just let him sit and eat for a while before worrying too much about what to do. He'll likely cheer up with a little unwinding time. More activities will likely make the problem worse. If something more serious is going on, or if your guy can't seem to find his own way out of the rut, plan something yourself instead of waiting. Don't ask "What do you feel like doing?" a million times until he gets irritated. Instead, just say, "I bought tickets to that movie. We're grabbing pizza before hand. Let's go." Your guy's guys may have dealt with his tantrums many more times than you have. Likewise, if he is having problems with your relationship, it may be good for him to get it out with his guy friends, instead of talking to you about it. That's a healthy part of a functional relationship. Plan something for him, if possible. Don't tell his friends the nitty gritty of what's exactly is happening to him. Say something vague like "John seems a little down. Want to come over for the game this Sunday?" If the guy doesn't really feel like talking, suggest an activity that gets you out of the house and gets him focused on something else. Even if it's not an activity that he's a huge fan of, like going grocery shopping, it's still good to get the attention focused elsewhere. Do some kind of chore you need to do together. Head to the store to pick up a few things and ask if he can come along to help. Don't require it, just ask. Find a good reason for him to come, like that you need help picking something out. Get his mind busy. Try little things, like going for a walk, or getting ice-cream. Even just seeing if there's anything fun on TV can be some kind of distraction. Cue up a dumb meme or puppy vid from the Internet, if necessary. A little physical contact is extremely useful in helping to cheer someone up. Hugs stimulate the release of oxytocin in the brain, which promotes contentment and reduces anxiety and stress. A little physical contact can go a long way. Warm touches to the upper back, and arm, are automatic charmers. It'll help ease the tension, and trigger endorphins to release, which ultimately will put him more at ease. If you're a couple and want to do more? Up to you. As grumpy as some men are on the outside, they want to be comforted and tended to, both emotionally and physically. If you know him well enough, you'll know what he likes, and what he doesn't. You know what they say about guys and their stomachs. If he loves chocolate-bacon, go get some at the store and surprise him. If you're tight on cash, whip up his favorite meal. Here are some useful dude-food meal options: Chicken and waffles Steak Reuben sandwich Biscuits and gravy Lasagna Pizza Is your guy a gamer? If you express an honest interest in something that he loves, he'll appreciate it a lot. Playing video games with him may help him to get his mind off his problems, even if it's just for a while, and help bring you closer together. You might even let him win a round or two. If your guy isn't a gamer, pick something that the loves and do it together. He's obsessed with horror flicks, or baseball games? Sit through one and daydream. It'll mean a lot to him. Cheering someone up is hard work, and not everyone reacts to it the same way. In general, it's good to just give it time, and tailor your approach to the specific guy and situation. Nobody's happy-go-lucky all the time, that's just the way it is.
