Is There Anything Good About Being a Man?

I'm no male but I'll give you my two cents based on pure speculation.
And yeah, sorry, but I'm gonna say the pee standing up thing as well. I cannot, for the life of me, pee anywhere except on a toilet which is very annoying when you're taking very very very long trips. Especially when a guy can just whip it out and pee anywhere he wants.
And this probably won't go for all guys, but one of the things I like about them so much is that hanging out with them is, in general, less complicated than hanging out with women. In general, if a man has a problem with you, he'll tell you to your face. Unfortunately, this is less common with most girls. So.. simplicity might be the word I'm looking for here, though not meant in a bad way.
But yeah, as someone mentioned earlier, I am also starting to get curious about that list of things that are so good about being a female.

hmm Ill tryNorthernStar said:
"in certain situations" wont get the crap beaten out of you for being "not manly" enough
and dont have to comform to (downright retarded) rules and veiws on "masculinity" <-again that one only comes up in certian situations
can have multiple orgasms (I think)
can probably get away with geeky things more without being labled a "loser"
having interests in certain things can get you attention..though often it might not be wanted
Muttonchops-its all about the muttonchops! Granted some women could probably grow them as well but the reception may be less then positive....
Well, hate to burst that bubble, but you can be judged like hell for not being 'feminine' enough ;-) Or, in other cases, being too feminine. I guess that's just something that applies to both sexes.Vault101 said:
The orgasm thing is true though, then again, there's also the issue of the difficulty with which the orgasm is achieved. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always had the experience that men achieve orgasm easier and faster than females. Of course, the intensity may differ.
Hrm... the interest in geeky things is an interesting one. I'm female and I've worked in a game store, went to game expo's, etc. That has some positive sides as most guys will generally appreciate it if a girl likes 'geeky' stuff. Then again, I've had customers refusing to talk to me because they were convinced I wasn't knowledgeable enough because I was a female and I've had men ridicule me at gaming events, asking me whether I was there to be a booth babe and that the household fair was in another building.
This stuff probably warrants a topic in its own right, though
evolutionary, it's not surprising.Vault101 said:
oh, and sorry for making you depressed. here's Professor Snugglesworth to cheer you up!
well then...I guess the Moral of the story is: invest in a good Vibrator..because if you want somthing done right then you have to do it yourselfiRevanchist said:evolutionary, it's not surprising.Vault101 said:

are people really that "up front" about that kind of thing? *sigh* well I supose it would give you an excuse to release some rightous anger..but that sucks..NorthernStar said:Well, hate to burst that bubble, but you can be judged like hell for not being 'feminine' enough ;-) Or, in other cases, being too feminine.

dort of like today theres a comic book store in my city (that I recently found out about) Im planning to visit it...but the Idea of going in makes me feel uncomfortable..
People are really that 'up front' about it. The examples I gave you really happened, and more than once, I'm afraid. In fact, once, it was actually a woman who refused to talk to me because she was convinced my male colleagues were more knowledgeable than me. Sad, but true. I try to shrug it off though. If they're stupid enough to believe some old stereotype, it's their loss.Vault101 said:are people really that "up front" about that kind of thing? *sigh* well I supose it would give you an excuse to release some rightous anger..but that sucks..NorthernStar said:Well, hate to burst that bubble, but you can be judged like hell for not being 'feminine' enough ;-) Or, in other cases, being too feminine.

Just go into the comic store. Why should it make you feel uncomfortable?
I did, and it was good (but seriously...why is it they always have number 2 6 or 8 of a series of paperbacks but NEVER #1??? I want to start at the start dammit!)NorthernStar said:People are really that 'up front' about it. The examples I gave you really happened, and more than once, I'm afraid.

its just..you know walking into an unfamiliar place, I didnt want to look confused or out of place (I somtimes dont like it when store people ask me if I need help...) to me comics are a little more unfamiliar terrirtoy than games...or action figures
I got over it very quickly, and picked up a few books
[b/] I've had men ridicule me at gaming events, asking me whether I was there to be a booth babe and that the household fair was in another building [/b] < that would piss me off...if that happened to me, depending on the guy I wouldn't hold back on ridiculing him for being a "neckbeard" (you know...only if he were a neckbeard)
From a theoretical stand point, men and women are neither superior nor inferior to one another.
From a social stand point, I feel that society expects more out of men than women and bestows upon them the responsibility to lead the world in innovation and progress.
I don't mean to sound offensive, but wasn't the superiority that men held in the past the driving force for women to a.) acquire the same achievements of men, b.) acquire the same achievements of men, only better, or c.) accomplish something that a man has yet to do so himself?

Actually, this has to be the biggest plus I've seen in the thread. I love the occasions when I just let my mind idle, but my female relatives (my mom in particular) seem to be incapable of this zen-lite technique.Lightning Delight said:
Second biggest plus is, of course, shown to us by Mulan. Third would have to be urinals. Fourth is the MANLY ability to play our gender as an adjective and get away with it.
Honestly, I think men are limited in the ways they can express themselves or, well, do whatever they want (within reason) without being ridiculed. For example, I'm what the internet likes to refer to as a Brony, but if I told the guys at college I watched a show about Twilight Sparkle and her pals I'd probably get called a fag or something.
Also, lack of multi-gasms displeases me.
