How Men Are is the third studio album by English synth-pop band Heaven 17, released on 24 September 1984 by Virgin Records.

Although digital sample-based instruments such as the Fairlight CMI and the LinnDrum drum machine were still responsible for most of the album's sounds, How Men Are marked the beginning of an increased usage of acoustic instruments in Heaven 17's music.

Another notable contribution to this album was made by the vocal group Afrodiziak, who sang on four tracks.

All songs written and composed by Glenn Gregory, Ian Craig Marsh, and Martyn Ware, except where noted.

"Counterforce II" was originally a B-side from the "Sunset Now" 12-inch single, and was also released under the title "Chase Runner" on the Electric Dreams soundtrack.
