- Sex/Gender Problems

[omega_peaches]

I'm a guy, and the first thing I thought was Awkward Boners.
Seriously.

 

[Baralak]

I hate that most women don't even think to help me lifting furniture at work. It's like the thought doesn't even cross their minds. Oh how the classic feminists would weep...


Also, I'm a guy who hates sports. I hate shopping, too, but that's because I never have enough money to buy everything I want.

I hate how, as a guy, I'm supposed to know EVERYFUCKINGTHING about cars. I have never cared that much about cars, it's just transportation to me, but I get the rolled eyes and looked down on if I don't know every tiny last piece of minutiae having to do with my truck. Thing I do is bring the conversation around to sports and drown them with jargon to see how they like it.

That, too. I can build a PC, but I have no idea what a "hemi" is.

I hate that it is just naturally assumed I am a fucking horndog because I'm a dude.

When people find out I'm asexual, somehow that makes me not a man. Because men are just like that, supposedly. If you don't want to stick your wang in any warm, inviting hole that presents itself, you may as well just be a statue or something.

I have actually had people come up and say things to the effect of "why don't you just get castrated since your dick is basically useless." And then they sit and stare at me with inquisitive little dumbfuck eyes and a vapid smile like they didn't just say something completely fucking retarded.

Maybe they should be lobotomized. Their brains seem to be basically useless.

OT: Beer reminds me of the smell of piss, yet for some reason guys seem to be expected to drink it. My friend even admitted that no one actually likes the taste, which makes me wonder how people are stupid enough to drink something that tastes bad. It is possible to make alcohol taste good, but I guess they're just cheap.

I agree wholeheartedly. Give me a Smirnoff to Mike's Hard Lemonade or something over Budweiser or Coors.

I am perfectly happy with being a male. Just the fact that Girls are the ones who have baby's makes me so happy to be one too lol.

Males: The most annoying thing about being a guy is that everyone expects you to be like some kind of Rambo-muscled, power-housed, strong man. The minute you show a kinder side it is an immediate, "He's gay. He likes reading instead of sport and watches 'chick-flicks', so he must be gay," and personally, that gets real old and real annoying.

Females: Girls who want equality but yet deny when a guy want to play volleyball or gets mad when a guy doesn't hold the door for them or doesn't pull out their seat. I, being the gentleman I am, already do all that but I is beyond annoying when girls say a guy can't do something but a girl can and still ask for equality. If they want equality, you get equality 100% or not at all.

Most of the girls I've talked too say they like a feminine side. I had one who started a rumor that I was gay, which I didn't really mind. My current fuck buddy has a boyfriend that tries to fit the stereotype to a tee, except he looks like a frat boy. And acts like one. It amazes me why girls go for guys like that, but meh. Free sex.

If anything, they like a guy who takes care of himself in the gym, and has a feminine side.

I suppose so. I've been called gay for many reasons but mostly due to the fact that I have very little muscle mass and and a sensitive kind of person.

 

[SckizoBoy]

It was worded that way on purpose.

Meant to reply to this ages ago, but couldn't quite remember a quote of newspaper headline epic fail. Finally remembered it, so:

How Much Cleavage is Too Much? A businesswoman must keep in mind that too much exposed boobage can swing back around and kick her in the butt(!)

 

[Robert Ewing]

I am impartial to being male.

Because we get the blame for everything, and if there is a scrap involving a male or a female. The male will always come off worse. 100% of the time.

 

[MercurySteam]

So, Escapists.

What do you personally believe to be the most annoying thing about being a male/female? What shortcomings do you think those of the opposite gender often overlook?

I hate that male orgasms are so short.

I like to think it's because we have so many things we need to do, our bodies try not to let one of our most primal (and daily) urges take too long so we can get on with other manly activities.

 

[Astoria]

I just hate the generalisations that all guy are lying dicks who want to use you and all girls are manipulators who want to screw you over. Not everyone is a bad person and if that's the only people you find maybe the problem is you. Easily the worst part of being a girl is periods and child birth. Guys, imagine doing a really tough work out and then having your stomach feel like it's trying to crush itself. Not fun. And that's not even childbirth. As for guys I'm guessing its the pressure of having to be manly all the time.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Most of the girls I've talked too say they like a feminine side.

They do say that but there is a second part that always goes unmentioned.
They presume a guy to be uber manly by default and having a soft side when women so desire, or as one of my friends put it "we just expect a guy to always do the right thing in the exact right moment"... no pressure there

 

[Zeraiya]

What irritates me about being female is:

Just because I'm a girl I have to like the colour pink.

Because I play video games and FPSs I am 'weird'. (This is usually enforced by other women.)

If I call another woman 'hot' or notice how attractive another woman is I am immediately classified as a lesbian. (However I imagine this is the same, or worse, for you guys.)

Because I'm a girl I must always be wearing make-up and dressing up, even if I'm going to the shops.

I must like shopping.

If I think about sex I am abnormal and strange.

If I have sex or lose my virginity I am immediately a 'slut'. (Double standard much?)

 

[HeroKing89]

Expectations. All of them. Male expectations are quite literally absurd.

1. Have to make the first move in the relationship
2. have to be the "head of the house"
3. Have to be able to take care of the family
4. Has to be tough
5. Have to be dominate

This is just a small taste but a man has to prove his manliness with other men of a similar peer group or he isn't considered a man. I can not think of any time a woman had to prove her femininity to be accepted by other women... high school... maybe. Now obviously with anything these expectations have exceptions and within your own private relationship they tend tog o away but from a society at large kinda deal, if a man can't provide, or doesn't want to provide for his family he is seen as a failure as if the idea of a stay at home dad/husband was somehow the worst thing one can do.

First off I, much like most of you, loathe gender roles.
There are a lot of downsides to being a guy. Sexually, our orgasms are shorter and skill, stamina, size has bigger importance. Whenever I'm talking to a girl, even if I'm in a dedicated relationship with someone else, everyone automatically assumes I want to fuck her. I'm regarded as a chauvinistic pig that thinks women can't do anything for themselves if I open a door for a woman, and if I don't I'm considered an inconsiderate pig if I don't. Also, for some reason it's harder to make friends as a male, maybe it's cuz all the women think we want to fuck them. As for guys, I dunno, maybe the same?

If I could choose I'd be a female, mostly for the orgasms.
