What Men Deserve To Lose is the fifth album by Scottish Celtic fusion group Peatbog Faeries, recorded at Skye Recording in Roag on the band's native Isle of Skye in 2007, and was commercially released on 16 July 2007 on the band's own label Peatbog Records, though the album had been sold at festivals, and from the band's website, since 22 June 2007. It is the band's first album to feature Graeme Stafford, who brings what the band described as a "dancey" feel to the album.

Following the band's previous album Croftwork (2005) and its subsequent supporting tour, the band were quick to work on What Men Deserve to Lose, and the gap between the albums is to date the shortest between any of the band's albums. In addition to new member Stafford, the brass section The Wayward Boys return from the previous album. The band had numerous sources of inspiration on the album, including taking inspiration from their surroundings in Skye, and people and places they had encountered in the years prior to making the album. The album was released to a positive reception from music critics, and two concerts from the subsequent supporting tour also formed the basis of the band's sole live album, Live (2009).

Following the launch of their record label Peatbog Records in 2003, Peatbog Faeries recorded and released their third and fourth albums,Welcome to Dun Vegas (2003) and Croftwork (2005). Both albums explored a variety of genres fused with the bands Celtic fusion sound, including funk, jazz, electronica and world. Both albums were critical successes and with a firm fan base, the band set to record their fifth album for release in 2007 with the addition of Graeme Stafford, the band's new keyboard player. The album was recorded at Skye Recording in Roag on the band's native Isle of Skye in 2007. The band's traditional production duo of Calum MacLean and the band's percussionist Iain Copeland returned to produce the album, whilst Skye Recording's Dennis Blackham mastered the album.
