Women are emotionally fragile, and often irrational. Men like to FIX the problem, women like to lament about the problem. It's easy to see why they weren't allowed to do anything but make babies and make dinner until recently.

Here we go.
 
Advantage women:

Opening up legs can open up new worlds of free products
Get half of the money of a guy by sittin pretty at home


I'd still rather be a guy... I enjoy everything that I have too much to give it up

Maybe the opinions in this thread are good reasons why it is good to be a man. Think about that, and then realize you are part of the problem.

Women

Get to be very selective about which man to use to continue life

Without women, the human race dies. We can gloat about our penises all day long but that fact still remains.

That happens also without men.

k, i'll go into more details. you guys are always "rearranging" it cause it sticks to your leg or gets uncomfortable in your boxers for some reason. i am glad i don't have to deal with that.

also, unintended boners springing up at inopportune/inappropriate times. you can keep that too.

Start wearing parachute pants (you surely can't touch this!) and what about women havin' the high beams on? 😛

oh look - miserable bastard is back.
 
I like being simple. No...monthly...problems. 😉 I firmly believe that women are far too complex for mathematical functions to describe, whereas the "man equation" is just a simple direct variation equation.
 
women have toooooo many issues. I think the real problem is that they are too emotional, and it all goes downhill from there.
 
I enjoy having common sense, mechanical know-how, and depth perception while driving......not to mention, I can pee standing up while chugging a beer. How cool is that??!!!
 
Standing to pee...

off of cliffs, outside, into the urinal, on the tire....take your pick. Standing to pee is a massive advantage, and can often be amusing 😀

Advantage guys:

no monthly inconviences
at menopause when you stop having monthly inconviences, you also stop having a sex drive.
dont have to look over your shoulder to see if someone's going to rape you.
dont have to decide between having children and reaching a high position in your career.
after you have children, and dont lose the weight, hubby might find someone skinnier.
as you get older and your looks fade, hubby might find someone younger and prettier.
Men in their 60's can still marry. women in their 60's... good luck

Advantage girls:

they live longer
dont have to be the agressor. men just flock to them (if they're pretty)
get custody of children

i have to say, i think many of the points you list are trivial, and false. many women have children and successful careers - or realize that being a mom is by far the more important, and rewarding, choice, and stop worrying about it. my own experience is that few men choose to leave their wives for someone skinnier or "prettier" and if they do, was he a husband worth keeping anyway? finally, is having a spouse so important that one should measure quality of live based on having one, or not?

in my opinion, women have many advantages that make the answer to the question obvious:

- live longer - by a number of years - no brainer, winner based on this alone!
- societal expectations actually allow them to be who they are - feelings are ok, as is expressing them.
- again, expectations actually allow them to have close same sex friends, with whom they can share bad times as well as good, and from whom they can get support when they need it.
- while womens lib has largely devalued traditional male roles and contributions - being the bread winner, doing the "mascaline" household work - women continue to be celebrated for taking on these roles, and still receive recognition for their traditional roles - homemaker, child care.
- in families that have done a traditional division of duties, the stay at home mom has by far the better deal, especially once the kids are in school. while the man spend 50-60 hours/week at his job (including commute time), with little opportunity to cultivate interests or friends, with stress wearing him down year after year (see lifespan above), the woman has an incredible degree of freedom to do what she wants, when she wants. if she doesn't want to cook, go out to dinner. if the laundy doesn't get done today, it'll get done tomorrow. if the house gets a little dirty, oh well. what working man has kind of freedom in his daily job?!
- oh, and if this all isn't enough for you, not only do women control sex (they decide when where and how it will be done) but it's better for them - more orgasms, stronger intensity.

in short, gentleman, we have been screwed by biology and modern society. if i could choose, i'd have been born a woman - no questions asked, hands down, they've got it better.

I'm surprised this hasn't been said yet:

Women: multiple orgasms.

</thread>

For some women they cant even get one, for a guy all they need is a image of a woman and some lube and they are good to go. And if that doesn't work there is a pill for that. It would suck to be a women and never get off, at all, ever.

I will also take my morning have to pee boner or unexpected boner anytime over being a woman and all the issues that go along with being one. If thats you come back for not wanting to be a guy Im sorry not good enough, and moving the package is out way of showing the ladies how large of a roll we have. And one thing I dont get with the woman on woman action, if you don't like a guy at all, why bother with the strap on and the things shaped like the guys junk, may as well go get yourself a guy then a strap on. Most men would prefer just a lets do it, no need to exchange names and such. Here is my medical card, your clean, lets rumble, were done here, no need to call me in the morning, shake hands and be on your way.

I also like being a man because I can write my name in the snow, if a woman tries it it comes out all messy and down their leg 😛

Oh and if we acted like you do, and gave you as much crap as you gave us with your emotional roller coaster bs, you wouldn't life as long either, that crap takes a toll on us.
 
Well, in my personal opinion, it wouldn't matter to me. Flip a coin (that's the general effect anyways 50 % female 50% male). That goes for if you are born in USA or a industrialized country. Today women in US have even if not as much salary (10% less on average) but still very close to male jobs. However, I wouldn't want to be a woman in Arab country for example, for certain reasons.

Well, of course, prolly like many people I wondered, what it would be like to be in a woman's body 😛 But from a gender point of view I'm just fine being a guy (except for NBR's :laugh: ).
 
Add to that:

Better salaries
No periods/PMS
Lower risk of being aborted/thrown in dumpster (worldwide)
 
The only advantage females have is in choosing sex partners. However in the area of sex overall they have a disadvantage. Why?

-They have something stuck in them, rather than the man's quite easy role in the process.
-Because of this they are open to tears, more likely to get STD, etc.
-Often sexually unsatisfied, while a man gets his satisfaction almost every time.
-Period, often banned from sex for a week.
-Are the impregnated, not the impregnator

So I'd take my role as a man, with my more limited choice of sex partners, to that of a woman who has to deal with the above.
