BarefootDawsy Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've always enjoyed being a man, but since I've had 2 boys of my own, I've remembered just how awesome it is! From peeing standing up to telling it how it is, being a guy is great. Since we have a whole new guild to ourselves with miles and miles of space, I thought I'd put it out there:What's your favourite thing about being a MAN? Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.)

Artinum Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 So many things. No risk of getting pregnant! No need for all that strange equipment women require every month is a big plus.I also rather like not having to strap down my chest to avoid whiplash injuries, though this might still apply to some men...

Thrillho Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 People talking to me like I have a brain while shopping at the hardware store (either tools and hardware, or computer hardware). My wife goes in there and I've hung back half an aisle and observed, and... they will ignore what she says and try to sell her something else, or ignore her entirely. It's awesome, in a horrible, horrible sort of way. Also, being socially allowed to enjoy UFC. Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

Okay.And I am with icedtrip. Peeing while standing is quite possibly the best thing about being a guy.

The Tin Man Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can have an entire conversation with other guy friends consisting completely of grunts and gestures.Along this line: the ability to have a conversation and quality bonding without a word shared or anything. Just being in the same place can be male bonding. I loved reading about one guy and his good friend and their "man time". They would sit on the porch, sip whiskey, and talk about everything or say nothing.And peeing while standing up. Especially as pertains to peeing in the woods.

Waldo Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yes but we have the peeing with wood handicap to go along with peeing standing up, something that most women totally do not understand.For example first thing in the AM pee + morning wood + AM groggyness = not good.

Fryinbox Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I enjoy having 3 pairs of jeans that can last me for two weeks without having to wash, and not needing a walk-in closet to house my clothes.The fact that just about ANY sport is simply BUILT into my DNA. I can throw a spiral without thinking about it.Peeing standing up, as said before, is quite awesome indeed. I should appreciate it more than I do.Also, we get to enjoy boobs. Boobs are awesome.

I rarely am more appreciative of being a guy than when the lady friend and I are getting ready to go to something fancy like a wedding (or Mad Men viewing party).Me: Shower, shave, throw on a dashing suit.Her: A heck of a lot more than that.

Artinum Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Being able to play is another good one. Boys never outgrow toys - they just get bigger, more expensive ones. Women are expected to grow up and be sensible - in the past, this meant the cooking, cleaning and raising the children, and modern woman is now expected to manage a career and be all independent and whatnot. I'm not sure which sounds worse to me. I'm 33 and I still haven't decided what to be when I grow up.And the wardrobe thing is great. What am I going to wear to work tomorrow? (Grabs random shirt). Yeah, that'll do. I'm baffled by the shoe thing as well - I'm unusual for a man in that I have about five pairs. And one of those really needs throwing out.
