I think it is mainly a matter of colors and fabrics. Many, probably most guys like quiet colors. My DH likes jewel tone batiks. The guys that shop at our quilt auction like patterns that incorporate wildlife and ranching pix. I see lots of quilt made with team logos. I think you're going to have to figure out what works for HIM.

Simple 7" blocks or whatever size works too. Also denim fabric from used jeans makes a nice mans quilt, depends on the style you want.

Simple stripes might work too, just make the whole thing stripes.
