Why it's great to be a guy

Post by Vain »

The last one is the best :twisted:

• Phone conversations last 30 seconds
• You know useful stuff about tanks and airplanes
• A five day vacation requires only one suitcase

• Bathroom lines are 80% shorter
• You can open all your own jars
• Old friends don't give you crap if you've lost or gained weight

• When clicking through the channels you don't have to stop on every channel where someone is crying
• People never glance at your chest when you're talking to them
• You don't have to lug a bag of "necessary" items with you everywhere you go

• You can go to the bathroom alone
• Your last name stays put
• You can leave a hotel room bed unmade

• You can kill your own food
• You have a normal and healthy relationship with your mother
• The garage is all yours

• You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness
• You see the humor in "Terms of Endearment"
• You never have to clean the toilet

• You can be showered and ready in 10 minutes
• Wedding plans take care of themselves
• If someone forgets to invite you to something, they can still be your friend

• Your underwear costs $7.50 for a 3-pack
• None of your co-workers have the power to make you cry
• The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades

• You don't have to shave below your neck
• You can do your nails with a pocketknife
• You don't have to curl up next to some big, hairy guy every night

• If you're 34 and single, no one notices
• Chocolate is just another snack
• You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger seat

• You never have to worry about other people's feelings
• Three pair of shoes are more than enough
• You never have to miss a sexual opportunity because you're not in the mood

• You can whip your shirt off on a hot day
• Car mechanics tell you the truth
• You don't give a flip if someone doesn't notice your new haircut

• You can watch a game in silence for hours without worrying if your friend secretly hates you
• One mood, all the time
• You can admire Clint Eastwood without having to starve yourself to look like him

• Gray hair and wrinkles add character
• Wedding dress $2000, Tux rental $100 bucks
• You don't care if someone is talking behind your back

• You don't pass on the dessert and then mooch off someone else
• Foreplay is optional
• If you retain water, it is in a canteen

• The remote is yours and yours alone
• You need not pretend you're "freshening up" when you go to the bathroom
• If your buddy doesn't call you when he said he would, you won't tell everyone you know that "he's changed"

• If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you probably won't notice
• The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected
• If something mechanical didn't work, you can bash it with a hammer and throw it across the room

• You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt
• You can write your name in the snow
• You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes

• You think the idea of punting that small, ankle-biting dog is funny
• One wallet, one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons
• Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 15 people on the day before Christmas and in 45 minutes

• Same work......... more pay

Peeing standing up.


If that was the only benefit, I'd be OK with just that.

Not having to give birth.

Childbirth; if I was ever going to torture someone for information, that's how I'd do it.

That's why it's great to be a guy, by the way. I hope that point was clear. Boobs.

One thing I've never seen on the Watch before is a giant, scantily-clad, headless female. (Course, I haven't been round all that long. I could easily have missed 'em.)

You have. Not that they're not rare, but they do make an appearance from time to time. :lol:

Good to know. Just out of curiosity; how often to giant, scantily clad, headless males make an appearance?

Agreed. That would be truly horrifying.

No, but puppies and kittens will.........personally, I'd rather have my brain damage happen because of boobies.

That's because you're a guy! :lol:

Anyhow, I think you're talking about a different level of distraction. Puppies and/or kittens have never made me forget my address. Altho I concede I may be in the minority, having never discussed this with other women...

To paraphrase Dylan Moran, how men feel about women is how women feel about shoes.

Sounds trite, but I've witnessed "I just can't live without those shoes" and the forgoing of food to buy new footwear that could only ever be used at international diplomatic functions.
