It's good to be man

[nixium]

Inspired by the "things girls don't understand" thread below.

- we rule the world.
- no menstruation or pregnancy
- fighting and using your body to break things is fun.
- the trend in nature is that the male of the species is better looking than the female. eg. peacock, sparrow, etc. Accordingly, some alien species will find the male better looking (assuming high fitness) (this is hypothetical)
- style, hair cut, etc easy. Put on a well fitting suit and you're basically done.
- low maintenance. beer can be really cheap.
- girls relentlessly reject us, but thanks to a genetic propensity not to be emotional, doesn't hurt much.
- besides, even ugly guys can get laid by learning "game". ugly girls have it *way* harder.

what else?

/not gay
/not a misogynist
/love, love, love girls, would marry as many legally eligible ones as I could.

More examples for better looking males vs females in the animal kingdom:

lion, gorilla, antelope

even better if your name is Manmeet.

Men get breast cancer...

Men get breast cancer...

If I ever did, I would call it chest cancer instead.

We you don't, the vag does. The sooner you come to terms with that, the better you are.

- no menstruation or pregnancy or breast cancer.

Replace with testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and lower ave. life span.

- fighting and using your body to break things is fun.

Not really, but chicks can do it too.

Human females look better than males.

- style, hair cut, etc easy. Put on a well fitting suit and you're basically done.

Agree w/ this one.

- low maintenance. beer can be really cheap.

Women can drink beer too...on average, a handle of vodka is probably cheaper for the amount of alcohol you get anyway.

- girls relentlessly reject us, but thanks to a genetic propensity not to be emotional, doesn't hurt much.

This is a pro?

- besides, even ugly guys can get laid by learning "game". ugly girls have it *way* harder.

False.

I work for the man.

ok, it doesn't change anything though.

We are men... men is what we are!

Men get breast cancer...

Not in nearly significant numbers to cause a hullabaloo the way they do for breast cancer for girls.

A better counterpoint is we get prostrate and testicular cancers.

sure, but psychologically might make you feel more of a man.

@ corporate thug:

- The vag doesn't. Agreed, we do crazy shit all the time to get it, but the consequences for that is that we ended up ruling the world.

- Agreed, that cancels out.

- stupid fighting is a more male thing to do, that's why we have a genetic propensity to bulk up better, we chased and fought and killed things.

- I still think an alien would disagree, most of nature is the other way around.

- We're low maintenance in general though.

- Rejection is a pro in a weird way because it makes you realize there are greater things in life than just a girl turning you down and helps you build character.

- Totally true, ugly guys get laid all the time if they got game.

gut feeling, anectodal evidence, and personal reflections on society are strongly encouraged.

Yeah, I stopped reading as soon as I saw that. OP doesn't have a fucking clue.

It's good to be THE man.

This line itself is proof of my whole thesis.

There is such a thing as "THE man".

Who has ever heard of "THE woman?"

never having to make my own sammich

 

[darkxshade]

The only counter-argument I can make is that it's not so great to be man... in a divorce.

 

[sixone]

Maybe...but you have that other head that tries to take over the thinking waaaaay too often... 😀

Of course, it's not all cheese fries and bacon.

But overall...

Unfortunately, we die a lot sooner than women.

True. That' does become a problem. BUt sometimes it's awesome. You should know of the crazy shit we do under the influence of testosterone to impress women.

Hell, my jumping out of plane in a parachute story has directly lead to several dates and at least one roll in the hay.

So it's not always bad. We have people improving their lives because they couldnt find enough dates.

That's right, stick it to THE woman.

Go out in a blaze of glory, I say.

Who wants to live while your body systems slowly fail one by one, where walking becomes a chore, when your senses are hazy, your memory confused, and passion replaced by a heavy dullness of soul?

At least, that's what I think being a 100 is like.
