Men Are Just Happier People
What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don' t cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

21. Well you can say that b/c women can have drugs that
Edited on Thu Jul-27-06 01:18 PM by Shell Beau
it's not that tough, but let's see, there is the aftermath. You know when you get ripped up down there and half has to be sewed back up. Or when your stomach gets cut pretty much in half and a 8 lb baby is pulled out. There is that recovery, sooooo I don't think you have a dog in this fight!



And on edit, I have no children, but have been pregnant and that wasn't pretty either. It was an ectopic. It was sad and painful physically. And I plan on having children. And when I do, I'll let you know how easy the drugs made it if I decide to have them.

There are mutiple reasons I prefer being a woman.
No way would I want to be a guy. For all the trouble, it can be sooooo worth it sometimes.

35. I love this comment.
This whole thread would be a whole lot scarier if the women all wished they were men. It is simply great to hear you women say that you wouldn't want to be men.

Personally, I'd be utterly lost if I were suddenly, magically turned into a woman. Who knows? It might be fun, but I think I've gone too far down the male route to catch up with the adult female paradigm.

However, if reincarnation exists, I've already decided to put in for a female position next time so I can try it out -- working my way into it from birth. Women may even be at or near parity with men by then.

41. So, basically
you've bought completely into the media stereotype of what a woman "should" be like. Sad.

43. Men are happier cuz they don't have to wear underwire bras
My brother was doing laundry at my sister's and pulled a strange object outta the washer. Confused, he showed it to brother in law and friend, all watching a ball game. They were all at a loss.

'Probably some piece of the washer or sumthin... Don't know what it would be thought. Prolly not good that it was in the wash-y part of the washer...'

I went in to see what the confusion was about. "It's an underwire that worked lose from one of ######'s bras"

"No shit? bras have hardware like this?"

"Damn, no wonder women are so cranky"

"Got any more pizza?"
