 Posted: 06/02/03 - 14:26 Post subject: What's the best thing about being a guy?
After reading LE's thread, I think the wimmins think that the best part of being a man is the ability to pee standing up.
Is that the pinnacle of manliness?

What about the fact that you make 20% more for doing the same job as a woman (statistically speaking, I am not referring to you personally!)

best thing about being a dude is being a dude.
no menstral cramps. Everything is black and white and I can communicate with a head nod to another dude and he knows exactly what I mean.

the downside is that thousands of men walk around clinically depressed because of the notion that men should not acknowledge their emotions. Deep issues often get a shrug or a head nod, when they need something more than that.

That's a really good point. That and the fact that men aren't supposed to ever get sick, and if they do, they must tough it out and not expect sympathy from doctors (my roomie's biggest complaint--I get drugs and tests, he gets "suck it up and take your vitamins"), and God forbid they do get some debilitating illness, it makes them feel all the worse because they see it as weakness. That must really be hard to swallow. I think hearing a lot of that from my male patients made me a lot more sympathetic than I was when I was younger and thought men had it made.
Plus, we can go into a bar and not have someone want to kick our ass just to prove their manhood.....

Hey I acknowledge my emotions on deep issues. When the fridge is out of beer I get emotionally charged up and take immediate action by driving right over to the beer store. And sometimes I don't come to a complete stop at stop signs because I'm so emotionally charged!

Interesting G. If a dude cries he is weak. A dude shows pain he is weak.
A dude asks for help he is weak. Yet the "strong dudes" are all cowards, go figure
