Left to his own devices, the only vegetable my guy would eat would be tomatoes (and then, only as salsa), not because he doesn't like them, but because of the shopping, cutting, and cooking that's involved. If you're a man who's interested in nutrition, then you might enjoy this article from Men's Health that lists the 10 best foods that men aren't eating. All but the savviest cooks seems to be leaving these off their shopping lists, but these 10 foods pack a powerful nutritional punch. What's even better is that, though there are a few exotics on the list, many of these foods can be found in season at your local farmer's markets right now. They include:

1. Beets
2. Cabbage
3. Guava
4. Swiss chard
5. Cinnamon (and not on a bun!)
6. Purslane
7. Pomegranate juice
8. Goji berries
9. Dried plums
10. Pumpkin seeds

I'll admit that beets haven't crossed our plates in years, but this article may have just inspired me to grab a few the next time I'm out.
